Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan for starters.

I think I've heard Spain is actually bad, but I can't remember where or why I heard that. I know a lot of post-soviet countries are no good though, a lot of cancelling gay pride parades for safety reasons and such. It depends on whether you want to go someplace together, or go someplace romantically together. there are probably plenty of places that won't bat an eye at two men/two women getting a hotel room together, but there shalt be no touching, looking, handholding...

Jamaica Any Islamic country (Iran, Sudan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, etc.) People's Republic of China Mauritania Some countries have laws about Gay sex, like Singapore. You can see a list at http://www.ilga.org/news_results.asp?LanguageID=1&FileID=769&ZoneID=7&FileCategory=1 There are also been a number of reports of problems recently in Poland. I have been to Spain, the Spanish are very welcoming. Gay life is very open and accepted by most people in Spain. They are also one of the few countries that allow Gay marriage.

There are, but they are more clandestine. Look for the number 1069, it's a code in the PRC that you sometimes see.

Um, all of them?

I think any Muslim country.

Jamaica

The United States.

Islamic. Ones starting from I: Iraq, Iran..

Muslim countries. Although there are many gays over there or many who are sexually sick such as child molesters but they tend to hide the reality. They lead a Phahrisee lifestyle.( No offence )I don't mean all people but many. The problem is not about sexual activity which one may have, but it is about escaping from realities. Trying to show a moral superiority over other people does not automatically makes you the best one. In fact everybody has its own weakness and strength.The best one is the one who accept people exactly the way they are.

Jamaica is pretty homophobic, You'll be ok as long as you don't hold hands.Stay away from Kingston , go to Montego Bay.Personally I loved Negril!!You can be a couple in the privicy of your hotel room, it's too beautiful of a country to miss .

ANYWHERE except the Artic...the penguins are ok with it....;)

There are many parts of the USA that would be dangerous to travel in.... especially around the bible belt... you know how forgiving Christian's can be... ahem
-
too many, considering that death is an option in some and even in others that are 'free'...remember Matthew Sheppard, and countless others who don't get that level of press
-
Muslim countries, in ASIA, AFRICA...and some of the eastern European countries as well
-
Russia, all Islamic countries, Pretty much the entire continent of Africa, and Texas.

to be honest, I'm accepting of other peoples sexuality, however I know that, I for one, don't like open heavy displays of affection between any couple, I think you are likely to be frowned upon wherever you go if you do kiss in public. Especially by the older population. they are much less accepting.
-
Russia... I would know... Ukraine... Da, I'm russian and ukrainian and german
-
I don't think the middle eastern countries are very gay friendly.
-
I would avoid the Middle East. Anywhere in Europe you should be fine.
-
Forget foreign travel, too risky & a hassle to boot. Vist Palm Springs, Laguna Beach, or San Francisco California. All are very gay friendy. Plus, we really need the money!
-
Many many places can't even count.
