Information on the situation for homosexuals
in
French Polynesia:
?
I have not found any information
regarding the situation for homosexuals in French Polynesia. Unlike e.g.
French Guiana, French Polynesia is not a French department, but a territory
of France, thus having its own, specific laws.
French Polynesia consists
of 118 islands and atolls scattered over a vast area of the Pacific Ocean.
The largest groups of islands are the Society Islands (Tahiti), Tuamotu
Archipelago, and Tubuaï Islands. Tahiti, where the capital Papeete
is situated, is often called "The Island of Love". I certainly hope that's
the case!
If you have any further
information on the current situation in French Polynesia, please contact
me.
