Wrong. Bahamas (or was it Barbados?) is worse.

The Bahamas banned Brokeback Mountain recently. The Cayman Islands didn't let a gay cruise ship dock there a few years ago, so while some of the small islands may be worse, Jamaica is the only one that is violently homophobic, with people getting killed and that awful "Dancehall" music encouraging said hate. There isn't any gay rights movement in the country because even straight people who defend gays would be attacked. Jamaica isn't the most religious place so I'm not sure where this hate comes from.
