English court to rule on final challenge to Trinidad’s gay sex ban

An English court is set to rule on a final challenge to Trinidad and Tobago's colonial-era 'buggery' laws, which criminalize gay sex. The case, filed by Jason Jones in 2017, has progressed through local courts and now rests with the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, with potential regional precedent. Opponents include the Trinidadian government and religious groups like the Council of Evangelical Churches.
