Alaska Amazon Australia Brit. Jamaica - The Caribbean sells itself as a 'lovers' paradise,' a place where sweethearts can cuddle under tropical sunsets and cast their cares to a salty wind. Just make sure your lover is of a different sex. Holding hands can bring harassment.
Sex is a crime.
Although the law against homosexual sex is not enforced, some consider it a license to harass homosexuals. Fla. That homophobia, critics contend, extends to some resorts. In February, Kirby Frank, a gay man from Atlanta, noticed an Internet sweepstake for a week's vacation at a couples-only resort in Jamaica. Frank sent a complaint on the Internet, which prompted gay men to start calling a toll-free line for Sandals, owned by Jamaican entrepreneur Gordon Stewart, to make reservations. They were politely refused and directed to other resorts.
