A court in England is expected to issue a ruling today on a law prohibiting gay sexual acts in Trinidad and Tobago that dates back over 100 years to the British colonial era in the twin-island Caribbean nation.
The London-based Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which remains the highest appeals court for several former British colonies, will decide whether a law backed by the islands’ government that criminalizes “buggery” and “indecency” between gay partners complies with the country’s constitution.
