The High Court of Justice in St. Kitts and Nevis has struck down anti-LGBTQ+ laws that have existed since the British colonial era, the second time in less than two months that an Eastern Caribbean nation has struck down such laws.
Justice Trevor M. Ward ruled this week that the “buggery” sections of St. Kitts’ Offences Against the Person Act contravene constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of expression and protection of personal privacy.
