LGBTIQ-osobe mogu naići na diskriminaciju na Barbadosu. Homoseksualni spolni odnosi bili su zabranjeni do 2022.; kazna je bio doživotni zatvor. Ipak, sam se zakon rijetko upotrebljavao te su homoseksualci bili "slobodni" imati spolne odnose, i gejevi, i lezbijke.

Ne postoje zakoni koji bi štitili homoseksualne osobe od diskriminacije. Ipak, neki istospolni parovi uspijevaju živjeti u miru, ne dajući do znanja drugim stanovnicima da su homoseksualni ili biseksualni.^[1]

Barbados, in common with much of the English speaking Caribbean, has a very conservative attitude to homosexuality and homophobic views are unfortunately common. Contrary to popular belief, homosexuality itself is not illegal although sodomy remains a criminal offence. However, the penalties set out in the 1992 Sexual Offences Act concerning sexual relations between members of the same sex are rarely enforced when this takes place in private. There is no overtly public gay scene in Barbados and no gay and lesbian publications. However, many gay Bajans couples are known and live together without problems by maintaining a low profile.
