“Criminalisation of sexual activity conducted between consenting, adult men in private reinforces the perpetuation of homophobia at all levels of society, and drives this vulnerable group away from the information and education that is necessary to save their lives and the lives of the men and women who are their partners.”
— Joel Simpson, human rights lawyer based in Trinidad
