Puerto Rico is neither a state of the US, nor independent, but 'freely associated' with the US. The Puertoricans are US-citizens but they are not entitled to vote in US-elections. This political position 'in between' and considerable customs privileges ensure economical prosperity for this Caribbean island. We do not have any information concerning the penal code, but we assume that homosexuality is open to prosecution. Still Puerto Rico is the most liberal island in the whole of the Caribbean Sea. Gay activities take place only in the capital, San Juan.
