The Colonial Shadow Over Caribbean Homophobia The UK's highest court is currently deliberating on a case that has significant implications for LGBTQ+ rights across the Caribbean.
Jason Jones, a Trinidadian activist who challenged his country's "buggery law" in 2017, sees this as an opportunity to bring an end to colonial era homophobic legislation that still casts a long shadow over the region.
For many years, activists have fought against these laws, which were originally imposed by British colonizers and remain in place today.
