The power is still not with us – legal structures of colonial laws and contemporary flaws between the UK and the Caribbean

How a peculiarity of the UK legal system contributes to the discrimination of LGBTIQ+ people in the Caribbean today

The author argues that UK judges have systematically stopped Caribbean independent nations from dismantling the oppressive colonial system.   This short piece shows a structural peculiarity of the British legal system that enables the continuation of colonial attitudes in today’s legal system and reveals structural racism that persists to this day.

Holy hatred: The Ugandan Cleanse

A talk with Ugandan LBQ+ activists

Reject Anti- LBTQI+-law in Uganda

The relationship between religion and sexuality has been complicated throughout history. To date, religion is the basis on which many African countries and those within their borders have an anti-sexuality stance. Sexuality, more so sex, is taboo, one that shouldn’t be discussed. This lack of information for individuals and communally as a society means there are many misconceptions fuelled by religious morality.
