GAY & LESBIAN TRAVELLERS
French laws concerning homosexuality prevail in Réunion, which means there is no legal
discrimination against homosexual activity and homophobia is relatively uncommon.
People are fairly tolerant, though by no means as liberal as in mainland France; open dis-
plays of affection may be regarded with disdain, especially outside St-Denis.
