    Fiji Says 'Bula' Or 'Welcome' To LGBTQ Travelers

    Published: December 15, 2021 by: Gaycation Magazine Last Modified: December 22, 2021 This site generates income via ads.

    The heart of the South Pacific, Fiji is blessed with 322 tropical islands where you can choose from affordable accommodation to exclusive 5-star resorts, bunk down in a hostel or book an island to yourself.

    Famous for its soft coral diving, white sand beaches and pristine natural environment Fiji is a leader in eco-tourism. And its events calendar is loaded with festivals and celebrations. Whether you’re into music, culture or sport, you’ll easily find an event or festival for you - even a tour or three.

    Despite lingering perceptions about Fiji as a non-gay welcoming place, Tourism Fiji today says it doesn’t have any problem with Fiji being described as a gay friendly destination and welcomes LGBT visitors "to discover our culture, tradition and heritage."

    In fact, being gay in Fiji has been legal since 2010 and discrimination against homosexuality has been illegal since 2009. In fact, the constitution was overhauled in 1998 to recognize sexual minorities. However, discrimination might still exist at a local level especially within traditional communities. There are still isolated instances where homosexual behavior butts heads with local laws. For example, in 2005, Australian tourist Thomas McCosker had consensual sex with a man named Dhirendra Nadan. The men were tried and jailed under the nation's sodomy law, but the conviction was subsequently overturned in August 2005 by the nation's highest court as violating the Constitution.
