Black gay club bissau, guinea-bissau

The relative acceptance of LGBTQ people in Guinea-Bissau stands in contrast to the strict laws and social conventions in neighboring West African countries.

The widespread stigma and silence on gay issues thus prompt continuing challenges for the LGBTQ community. Notably, a huge issue regards the spread of HIV/AIDS, as a study in the Culture, Health and Sexuality noted, 64% of gay men in Guinea-Bissau have never used a condom.
