UK court overturns Trinidad and Tobago's ban on gay sex

Pride FM News · 10 November 2026

The Privy Council in London has overturned Trinidad and Tobago's laws criminalising sex between consenting adults of the same sex. The court ruled unanimously in favour of Jason Jones, a Trinidad-born campaigner who lives in Britain, finding the laws breached his constitutional rights. He first challenged them in 2017. Jones said the laws told queer people they were criminals in their own country, and that message ends today. Similar colonial-era laws remain in several Caribbean countries.
