Unfortunately, there are many countries that have expressed laws forbidding homosexuality. That means crossing off popular wedding destinations like the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, where one could risk their safety being openly gay. Meanwhile, other countries such as Thailand don\u2019t lawfully recognize same-sex marriages, but do allow same-sex marriage unions to take place.<\/p>\n<p>If your clients have or are planning to legally wed beforehand, they may just be seeking a symbolic ceremony overseas. This option is often taken by same-sex couples who want to be 100% certain that their marriage is recognized at home once all is said and done. Another benefit to this route is that they will have more destinations available to them to choose. That\u2019s because many countries are LGBTQ+ friendly even if their laws are still outdated.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Caribbean\"><\/span>The Caribbean<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we mentioned, some countries in the Caribbean forbid any expression of homosexuality. But if your clients are set on wedding in tropical paradise, there are other countries that fit the bill, even within the same area!
