Types of criminalisation

  • Criminalises LGBT people
  • Criminalises sexual activity between males
  • Criminalises sexual activity between females

Summary

Same-sex sexual activity is prohibited under the Criminal Code , which criminalises acts of ‘buggery’ and ‘gross indecency’. These provisions carry a maximum penalty of ten years’ imprisonment. Both men and women are criminalised under the law.

The law was inherited from the British during the colonial period, in which the English criminal law was imposed upon Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It retained the provision upon independence and continues to criminalise same-sex sexual activity today.

There is no evidence of the law being enforced, and it appears to be largely obsolete in practice. Nevertheless, the mere existence of this provision is itself a violation of human rights and underpins further acts of discrimination (see further). There have b

St. Vincent Opens Up: &#;I&#;m Queer. I Know How to Code-Switch&#;

Did you approach in when I was dressed like a sperm?”

Despite her wry tone, Annie Clark — the artist better known as St. Vincent — isn’t joking. Not quite an hour earlier, Clark was posing for her Billboard photo shoot in a hooded, ruffled cream mini-dress in front of a billowing blush-pink backdrop meant to evoke a different bit of human anatomy. (Let’s just say the setup was a spiritual descendant of Georgia O’Keeffe’s work.)

As St. Vincent, Clark conjures an enigmatic, opaque aura. But today, she’s in a frank, funny and freewheeling mood. She jests about the suggestive pictures of female models plastered on the walls around us (“Boner patrol, see out!”) and swerves easily from topics highbrow (abstract Russian painter Kazimir Malevich) to low (an off-and-on gamer, she was briefly obsessed with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild). Clark chose to soundtrack her verb with David Bowie’s coke-fueled classic, Station to Statio

St. Vincent and the Grenadines judge dismisses challenges to country&#;s sodomy laws

La Joven Cuba se publicó esta nota en su sitio web el 12 de mayo

Por NORGE ESPINOSA MENDOZA | En el calendario cubano, mayo es un mes cargado de fechas singulares y múltiples celebraciones. Desde su primer día, marcado por el tradicional desfile que recuerda a los mártires de Chicago como tributo a los trabajadores del mundo, pasando por el Día de las Madres, el Día Internacional de los Museos y el Día de África, entre muchas otras fechas. Se trata de una agenda cargada de memorias, consignas, festejos públicos o más domésticos que se concentran en esas cinco semanas.

La incorporación a todo ello del reconocimiento en nuestro país del 17 de mayo como Día Internacional contra la Homofobia, la Transfobia y la Bifobia removió ese panorama, sobre todo porque se trata de la misma fecha en la que se celebra el Día del Campesino y la Reforma Agraria. Entre las diversas reacciones que desencadenó todo ello, sirva como ejemplo del estupor con el que parte de la población cubana reaccionó, este fragm

SVG remains safe for LGBTQ+ travelers amidst foreign misinformation

&#;Peaceful St. Vincent and Grenadines is also a threatening tourism destination for some visitors. Gays could now face 10 years in prison&#;. Misinformation from publicationEturbonews

In the wake of a recent court ruling and the spin by international media, St. Vincent and the Grenadines continues to be a safe and welcoming destination for LGBTQ+ travelers.

The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court recently upheld the country&#;s colonial-era laws criminalising same-sex relations, sparking concerns among the LGBTQ+ community. However, St. Vincent (SVG) remains an inclusive and accepting place for all.

As a Vincentian and one who works in the tourism sector, I emphasised the country&#;s commitment to diversity and respect for all visitors, regardless of sexual orientation.

St. Vincent has always prided itself on being a welcoming destination for everyone. We value diversity and inclusivity, and all travelers can verb safe and respected while visiting our beautiful islands.

I would have seen local LGBTQ+ advo
