Anti-gay bans overturned
The UK-based Judicial Committee of the Privy Council unanimously overturned Trinidad and Tobago’s laws criminalising same-sex intimacy, ruling they violated the right to respect for private and family life. The decision followed an 11-year legal challenge by Jason Jones, who had won in the country’s High Court in 2018 before that ruling was overturned on appeal. It is the first time the JCPC has ruled on a case to decriminalise same-sex intimacy.
