Jamaica
Any Islamic country (Iran, Sudan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, etc.)
People's Republic of China
Mauritania

Some countries have laws about Gay sex, like Singapore. You can see a list at http://www.ilga.org/news_results.asp

There are also been a number of reports of problems recently in Poland.

I have been to Spain, the Spanish are very welcoming. Gay life is very open and accepted by most people in Spain. They are also one of the few countries that allow Gay marriage.

Sad indeed. I've traveled to states where they seem just shy of having dinosaurs for pets. Scary;)

Nathan Explosion May, 17 2008 at 03:43 AM

LOL! I've lived in them!

by Cantras on Nov 19, 2007 at 10:07 pm Permalink

I think I've heard Spain is actually bad, but I can't remember where or why I heard that. I know a lot of post-soviet countries are no good though, a lot of cancelling gay pride parades for safety reasons and such.

It depends on whether you want to go someplace together, or go someplace romantically together. there are probably plenty of places that won't bat an eye at two men/two women getting a hotel room together, but there shalt be no touching, looking, handholding...
