In an article published in August, the Gay Times quoted Outright's executive director Maria Sjödin on the recent overturning of the colonial-era law banning same-sex relations in Saint Kitts and Nevis. Sjödin stated: "Witnessing a historic moment in the Caribbean in which antiquated, colonial-era laws are being challenged and struck down. We are awed by the strategic persistence of activists in the region who are leading the charge to ensure that human rights are advanced and that discriminatory, outdated laws like this are overturned. Hopefully, the remaining countries in the region and beyond will follow." For more information about the landmark decision, click here.
