First having lived in the Caribbean for a number of years many of the Islands have laws that make it a crime to practice homosexuality.

Secondly, I've seen what a few rum punches, some sun and a vacation can do to most people, and the fact is that I've seen homosexuals become more open with their affection when out of sight and on vacation. When folks hit the Islands they totally become engaged in having a good time and lose respect for the traditions and laws of the Country they are vacationing in. They do not realize that most Caribbean islands are Countries and want to have their life style and way of life respected. Most Island folks are very conservative and religious by nature and don't intend to change to become politically correct for what most call "Continentals".

I don't condone beating anyone with a tire iron, but I can tell you that there is more to this MSM story than meets the eye.

As far as St. Martin/Marteen goes, it has become somewhat of a rough and tumble Island. This could have happened to a bunch of guys on vacation, but certainly being gay didn't help the situation.

When in Rome, respect their laws and traditions. They are lucky they didn't find themselves behind bars for breaking the law on some Caribbean islands!
