Gay Barbados 🇧🇧 🌈 | Fear of Parents 😨👨‍👩‍👧 | Children @ Risk 🚸⚠️

Living in a homophobic place like Barbados creates fear around being open about your identity, putting you at risk of dangerous situations. If something happens, there’s often no one to turn to, and it becomes something you handle alone, deepening the isolation.
Years later, when I shared my first gay experience with a friend, I realised I had normalised what happened, treating it with emotional detachment. This was shaped by years of authoritarian discipline, which suppressed emotional expression and taught me to disconnect from my feelings. Similarly, corporal punishment in Barbados is often laughed off as normal, but the real question is whether children grow up to express love healthily or internalise harmful authoritarian behaviours, adopting a mindset where emotional needs are ignored and love is withheld or conditioned, making it harder to form genuine, healthy connections.
