Caribbean LGBTQ+ activists celebrate as court strikes down colonial-era laws
In St Lucia, the law penalised gay sex with up to 10 years in prison.
Activists have hailed a historic judgment striking down colonial-era laws that criminalised gay sex in St Lucia as a step forward for LGBTQ+ rights in the Caribbean country.
This week the Eastern Caribbean supreme court found that the island’s so-called buggery and gross indecency laws, which criminalised consensual anal sex, were unconstitutional.
