The High Court of the Caribbean island nation of Dominica has ruled that Dominica’s law against consensual same-sex intimacy is unconstitutional. The judgement against the anti-sodomy law was announced via Zoom this morning. With this decision, the number of nations with anti-LGBTQ laws has dropped to 65. Cara Shillingford represented the claimants. The Attorney General’s Office represented the defendant. Unsuccessful parties to the case included the local Catholic and Anglican churches and the Dominica Association of Evangelical Churches, all seeking to maintain the nation’s anti-sodomy law.
