Is being Gay and open more dangerous now?

[Sylph]

Tho we're probably the more gay friendly island people, we're still waiting for it to be safer :/

However, if you're local then it's not so bad, because we watch each other grow up, so unlike America where the flow of people changes everyday, we know who's who so it's less likely a gay person would just be attacked, unless they were walking in the wrong place at the wrong time around the wrong people.

I doubt we'll get much more better than we are now, we'll probably regress actually as we integrate more with our more Homophobic island relations(i.e Caribbean), but who knows :/

I feel safe day to day, and I did grow up with the Homophobes and "Gangstas" and Jamaicans(the rough ones, they ain't all bad) so I know the lifestyle and what to expect, but there are times you could feel intimidated.

Unfortunately, you just have to roll with the punches and luckily I have a tough skin :>
