Is this a good city for LGBT expatriates? Why or why not?
While I can’t speak from direct experience, I understand there is an underground LGBTQ+ community in Hanuabada, the village next to the Peninsula; however, most expat employers strongly discourage their members from visiting settlements and villages without a convoy due to safety concerns. There are a few same-sex couples in our compound, and the sponsoring agency of at least one of those couples permits them to come here (and not some other south pacific posts) despite the prevalence of traditional christian doctrines, widespread homophobia, and the official criminalization of same-sex sexual acts. - Aug 2025
