Belize seems to be quite homophobic. This was very clearly displayed when a Norwegian Cruise Line ship with some 900 gays wanted to land at Belize City for a few hours in the beginning of 1998. This was met with a huge amount of protests as many Belizeans have many misconceptions about homosexuality. The cruise ship did, however, land with no major mishaps or scandals taking place.
Belize's attitude towards
homosexuality makes me personally very sad, as Belize has been a dream,
and the most wanted tourist destination for me for the past ten or twelve
years. Now, I feel I would not contribute a single penny to a country which
clearly hates me so much!
