Episode: LGBT Rights: Overcoming a Colonial Legacy - Leslie Thomas KC
Pub date: 2024-02-16

Historically lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people have been persecuted under English law.

Homophobic and transphobic laws were exported from England to the Commonwealth Caribbean, and these colonial laws have had a long-term impact on Caribbean societies.

This lecture will make the case for the robust constitutional protection of LGBT rights.

This lecture was recorded by Leslie Thomas KC on 1st February 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London
