You should have seen the reaction when the first Gay Cruise Landed in Road
Town. The people were totally offended by the public display of male on
male hand holding, face sucking and 'other' antics. I was just returning
with a Moorings charter when I was treated to an older local lady tearing
a strip off two homos from the Gay Cruise, suckin' face in the bar/pool
area. Man did she lay into them!
It was a great show... those little queers left in a hurry. I was informed
they were waiting for information on chartering for a return trip to the
island. Guess they won't be back... or will go to the USVI.

It doesn't surprise me that locals would be offended by overt gay behavior.
When we were on Jost van Dyke, we stopped into a tiny grocery store for a
few things. My friend was shirtless, and the store owner laid into him
about it. Told him it was illegal. It is not illegal, despite her claim,
but my friend apologized for his oversight. The temp was over 90 and he
never wears a shirt above 75 degrees. The locals will tolerate bathing
suits and bare skin on the beaches and in such places as Foxy's, but they
are offended by that attire, or lack thereof, when off the beaten path.
