Jitterbug,
St. Mary is nothing like Negril. For one thing it is a very religious Parish. Negril has more of a free spirit than any city, town or village I can think of in the Parish of St. Mary.
Where and when in St. Mary Parish were they staying? How did people know they were a lesbian couple? As I mentioned, blatant PDA can pose a problem, as can telling people you are a lesbian couple. Discretion cant hurt.
For instance, two rules for Couples Resorts include the following, note their PDA policy applies to ALL couples:
1. Public Displays of Affection: NO! Couples Resorts does not condone nor will we tolerate any display of public sexual activity. Guests caught participating in such behavior will be asked to leave the resort immediately without any compensation. If having sex in public is your thing, then Hedonism Resorts would be a better fit for you. Bottom-line? Keep it in your room.
2. Same Sex Couples: YES! Couples Resorts welcomes ALL couples in love.
St. Mary is the birthplace of dancehall music which does have a tendency to have anti-gay lyrics, so I think St. Mary may have been the wrong choice unless they stayed at a gay-friendly resort such as Couples Sans Souci or Couples Tower Isles.
Was the reason they left because they were lesbians, or was there another or combination of reasons?
A very famous and popular resort in Jamaica is owned and operated by a lesbian couple. But while it is true that 89% of the Jamaican people do not support same-sex marriages in the latest survey, this couple has been running their resort for decades now.
