Tegucigalpa - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for LGBT expatriates? Why or why not?
I do not believe this is the best post for LGBTQI. The culture does not seem very welcoming to anything that strays from their religious beliefs, which is odd considering the crimes/femicides that happen in parts of the country. - Mar 2024

I think the community is growing but there is still a pretty traditional, Catholic and Evangelical, base here. Never mind that all the local husbands have mistresses or multiple families. I suspect it can be challenging to find LGBTQ+ dating partners here due to cultural norms. The embassy is very vocal and active in their efforts to remake local traditional belief systems. You will be fully supported by the embassy community. - Aug 2023

Unknown, but given the machismo in this country, my guess would be this is not an ideal location for an openly gay person. - May 2018
Not good in terms of dating and nightlife options, but otherwise fine. - Apr 2018
No! Not acceptable in this society very sadly. LGBT people are targeted here. - Jun 2016

There are actually three gay bars (that I know of) in Tegus, and they are not underground or really sketchy. At least two of them are frequented by even a lot of straight people from my experience. However, it's been personally hard for me to make good LGBT friends around my own age here, as eventually I've almost always been asked for money. Overall, there is a weak social gay scene here, and I don't venture out too much --- and that's not from lack of wanting to. It's because I don't know who I can and cannot trust, and I don't feel like spending my time sniffing it out. - Jul 2015
Not at all, although it could be worse--there could be no visible LGBT life here whatsoever, which does happen in many countries. - Dec 2014
