LGBT Rights

Male on male homosexuality is illegal in Grenada. Under the Grenada Criminal Code, CAP. 76, 1958 Revised Edition, Section 435 the offence of “unnatural crime” is committed by way of sexual intercourse per anum, i.e., anal penetration. Such offence is punishable by imprisonment for ten years. The Criminal Code does not specify the ‘penetrating’ object. Through reliance on the common law; the penetrating object is the male sexual organ. The offence is committable by, male person with/to male person and/or, male person with/to female. The offence cannot however, be committed by two female persons. Also there is no explicit clause on equality or protection of privacy in the Grenada Constitution of 1973.
