Information on the situation for homosexuals on Barbados:
 
Illegal
 
The three points of the trident in the Barbadian flag represent the three principles of democracy - government of, for and by the people. I think this beautiful flag gets stained when legislation prevents a large group of barbadians to excercise their basic human rights. 
 
Barbados seems to be a pretty conservative place, blaming it on their "Christian principles and conservative British style". Homosexuality is not tolerated, not even nudity - as one said: "Barbadians do not have a culture of undressing on public beaches". And this is a major Caribbean tourist resort?
