No. In fact, homosexual activity is illegal in Antigua and Barbuda. The Sexual Offences Act of 1995 (Act No. 9) allows for a prison sentence of 5 years for sexual indecency (10 years if with a minor) and 15 years for "buggery" (life if with a minor, 5 years if committed by a minor).

No. In fact, male homosexual activity is illegal in Belize, punishable with imprisonment for a maximum of 10 years. Criminal Code (CAP. 101), Part II, Title VII, Section 53, "Unnatural Crime".
No, in fact Belize is one of the few countries in the Western Hemisphere where it is actually illegal to be gay. The penalty if caught is 10 years in prison. Foreign gay people are technically prohibited from entering the country, but this is rarely enforced.
