In 1995, the twin Caribbean nations of Antigua & Barbuda passed the Sexual Offenses Act, that criminalized acts of “buggery” and “serious indecency,” which were punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court stated, “the selection of an intimate partner is a private and a personal choice,” and that Antigua and Barbuda’s 1995 Sexual Offenses Act “offends the right to liberty, protection of the law, freedom of expression, protection of personal privacy and protection from discrimination on the basis of sex.”
