Information on the situation for homosexuals
in Bermuda:
Illegal
Bermuda consists of not just
one, but some 150 islands of which about 20 are inhabited. Being one of
the last of Britain's colonies, Bermudans seem to still be in Victorian
England when it comes to homosexuality. Male homosexuality still is a crime,
though being under British rule. Lesbians don't even exist to the law.
Some changes may, however,
take place pretty soon. Britain has, of course, signed several international
treaties on basic human rights and may have to deal with most of its overseas
colonies when it comes to their ancient views on homosexuality. Ignorant
and prejudiced religious and other homophobics seem to govern on these
islands, and I guess they won't step down quietly.
If you have any further
information on the current situation in Bermuda, please contact
