Managua - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a good city for LGBT expatriates? Why or why not?

Doubt it. Nicaraguans are quite conservative, whether this is a carry-over from the influential Catholic church or not, I don't know. - Feb 2024


Yes. - Sep 2023


Nicaragua is still a very conservative, mostly-Catholic society. I am sure there is an LGBT community here, but it is not very visible. - Jun 2020


While Nicaragua is a conservative country, there is a visible LGBT community. There used to be an issue with the local country club not allowing LGBT members, but I don't think that is a problem anymore. - Apr 2018


I've heard that it's limited. - Mar 2012


There's a couple of gay clubs but generally no. I know some local gays that have moved to the U.S. and Costa Rica to live a more open life. - Mar 2008


Not sure, but there is at least one GLBT nightclub. - Feb 2008
