WARNING gay-destinations.com ***Caveat Emptor***

I found this website while surfing and it turns out to be just another hotel booking site but with a dangerous difference.

As an experiment I entered the following parameters:

2 occupants, 1 room and some random dates.

Then the following destinations:

Lilongwe in Malawi (a country that has just sentenced a gay couple to 14 years gaol and hard labour for getting engaged)

Kampala, Uganda (All male homosexual acts illegal. Penalty: A fine or imprisonment up to life sentence)

Kuwait (men over 21 face prison sentences up to 7 years)

Georgetown, Guyana (Penalty for male homosexuality: life imprisonment)

All of the above destinations offered me and my partner accommodation.

I have no intention of ever going to any of these places but why would a gay travel website allow its customers to go somewhere where they are likely to face legal problems for being who they are?

* To be fair to the website, I also entered a number of locations in Iran and some sharia areas of Northern Nigeria (both areas where there is the death penalty) and the search came back as unavailable.

If you want people to stay away from the place- AND you want to follow our site rules- you probably shouldn't post active links to commercial websites... Hotlink removed.

I say let 'em travel .

Kek are you gay or just curious?

Let them travel to 14 years in prison just for being gay? Are you a sadist or just curious?

I questionable post deleted.

Let's stay on topic. Although I am not too sure what that is.

I haven't visited the site, but in my previous employment quite a few years back, I had to go to a lot of places for work which had harsh laws. It would have been nice to find places that were slightly gay-friendly, if that's what the site is offering.

The countries mentioned above are no longer on the website. I do believe that the title of this thread his given the website some boost, though.

That said, I do think that a carefull traveller will check country laws and customs before even looking into booking a hotel.
