In June, the LGBT+ association Kap Caraïbe in the French Caribbean island of Martinique had to cancel many of the events it planned as part of Pride Month. The cancellations came after various obstructions from the town council of Fort-de-France, Martinique’s capital. Those officials opposed the Pride Month events after receiving complaints from some of the island’s prudish and homophobic residents. In response, activists protested that the council violated their freedom of expression by prohibiting events that would pose no risk to public order.
