Male same-sex relations are classified as sodomy under 1907 common law, without practical enforcement (no arrests for consensual relations recorded according to the U.S. State Department). There is no legal recognition of same-sex unions. The U.S. State Department maintains a Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution) advisory. We recommend consulting official sources before planning any travel.
