Grenada’s Penal Code prohibits “unnatural connexion” and “gross indecency.” Though rarely enforced, the Penal Code contributes to violence and harassment targeting LGBTIQ people. A lack of legal gender recognition procedures makes transgender people particularly vulnerable. LGBTIQ organizations have grown in prominence and visibility in recent years. Media portrayal of LGBTIQ people has significantly improved, and social attitudes are beginning to shift.
