Гей-гид: Гваделупа

Yes — same-sex marriage is legal in Гваделупа. See the Legal Status panel on this page for the specifics. Guadeloupe is an overseas department of France and French law applies without exception: same-sex relations legal since 1791, PACS civil partnerships since 1999, marriage and joint adoption since 2013, IVF for lesbian couples since 2021, discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation banned since 1985 and gender identity since 2016, conversion therapy banned in 2022, and legal gender change without surgery since 2017. The law is not the issue; attitudes are. Surveys in the French Antilles have found far lower acceptance of homosexuality than in mainland France, with strong church and family pressure, and local LGBTQ groups report harassment and family rejection as the everyday problems. Things are changing: Pointe-à-Pitre has hosted Pride events, and the island's tourist zones from Gosier to Saint-François are used to same-sex couples from metropolitan France. There is a small, discreet bar scene and some gay-owned guesthouses. Visitors are fully protected by law and rarely bothered; local people still mostly keep their private lives private.
