Issues

Illegality of male homosexuality

Male-on-male homosexuality is illegal in Grenada. Under the Grenada Criminal Code, Section 431, the offence of “unnatural crime” is committed by way of sexual intercourse per anum, i.e., anal penetration. Such offence is punishable by imprisonment for ten years.^[1]

The Criminal Code does not specify the ‘penetrating’ object, although by reliance on the common law, the penetrating object is the penis. The offence is committable by male person with/to male person and/or male person with/to female. The offence cannot, however, be committed by two female persons.^[2]

Legal protections

There are no explicit clause on equality or protection of privacy in the Grenada Constitution of 1973.^[3]

LGBT rights movement in Grenada

In May 2013, the president of the country's Senate called the island to reconsider its ban on same-sex sexual relationships and said that “the day is fast approaching” for Grenada and other Caribbean countries to repeal their sodomy laws.^[4]
