"In the last 12 months, a cluster of neighboring countries have overturned laws
criminalizing consensual sex between same-sex partners.
The Caribbean island nations of Antigua & Barbuda, St Kitts & Nevis and
Barbados all recently repealed “buggery” or “sodomy” laws. Two more in the
region could follow, as courts in St Lucia and Grenada weigh the legality of
their sex bans. If they follow suit, they would have successfully halved the
number of countries with such laws in the Commonwealth Caribbean in less than a
decade.
“It’s been a huge, monumental shift in a relatively short number of years,”
said Téa Braun, chief executive of Human Dignity Trust, a human rights
organization that advised on some of the legal challenges. “The back-to-back
nature in the Caribbean is pretty unique.”
The changes are the result of an almost decade-long campaign by the Eastern
Caribbean Alliance for Diversity and Equality to overturn discriminatory laws
in the region."
