Nicaragua gay club

Gay Nicaragua? Like most countries we have visited in Central America, we knew very little about what it would be like travelling in Nicaragua as a gay nicaragua. During our time in Central America, we spent an extended period of time in Nicaragua including in Leon, Granada and Ometepe many other beautiful places including Laguna Beach Club which sat by the side of a volcanic crater lake.

For the most part during our travels, we did not come across any gay scene or presence in Nicaragua. As such we were very intrigued when we saw the Pride Flag below…. Outside of the Laguna Beach Club we noticed the rainbow flag! We had to investigate club and managed to track down the owner to learn about gay Nicaragua.

Based gay our conversation with Stefan, we have put together the below mini gay travel guide to Nicaragua. Is Nicaragua gay friendly? Attitudes from locals come from a place of misunderstanding. For them, a masculine gay man is unacceptable, the same goes for a feminine woman.

People still see the whole idea of homosexuality as immoral since our society is predominantly religious. Public displays of affection between homosexuals are still not seen well by most people, so it is highly nicaragua. Nowadays, society is more open to gay idea of homosexuality, especially straight women. You can see homosexual people having normal jobs in almost any field as long as they are not very open about it some are exceptions, specially in jobs culturally referred as gay, like hairdressers.

There are 3 or 4 openly gay bars in Nciaragua. These gay bars can be found in Managua some are located in the same area so it is labelled as the gay area of Managua. Like most countries, as mentioned above, the main city is where you will find the gay bars and the gay area. Granada is a also a very gay friendly city in Nicaragua and you can see openly gay guys in the streets specially La Calzada.

The same goes for Masaya where gay guys will be left alone and not bothered. This is where groups of couples composed of 2 men will go around dancing in the houses. One of them dressed as a woman which is a huge example of how people in this city accept the idea of a man that can be feminised or club a woman.

Most of the best dancers in town are very respected. The same advice as for straight travellers, avoid places that are not very touristic because of other problems like petty theft or pickpocket.
