Summer Sizzle: The Caribbean's Proudest 

A visit to the enchanted, French speaking island of Martinique during Carnival season will reveal just how liberated straight men become via the art of drag during this very celebratory season. The men—most of which appear to have been mixed (African and French)—will cause you to do a double take!

The Takeaway

  • Homosexuality: Legal
  • Gay marriage: Illegal
  • Gay Bashing: Contained

According to model scout, Steeven Jean-Yves Zamor, a Martinique national, “There are no recent issues of violence against gays. Our motto is discretion and respect. We ask the same of gay tourist by way of any excessive attitudes and demonstration of affection.”

The Scene

“Gay people hang out everywhere. From time to time, there are private gay parties. But most often they are mixed and held at the 233 Club in Schoelcher, L’appart, in downtown Fort-de-France and Le Maximus in Lamentin,” explains Zamor.

Pride

Not!
