The High Court of Justice for Antigua and Barbuda ruled that sections of the Sexual Offences Act of 1995 which made homosexual sex illegal were unconstitutional, and struck them down.

Laws in place in Antigua and Barbuda regarding Marriage and Matrimonial Causes do not recognize nor ban same-sex marriage.

In Antigua and Barbuda, there are no laws restricting the discussion or promotion of LGBTQ+ topics.

Gender marker change is not allowed.

Access to gender-affirming care is restricted.

No way to change legal gender, including non-binary.

As a result of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court's ruling that decriminalized sodomy, references to sex in the constitution were interpreted to include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected categories against discrimination.

"In giving a liberal and purposive interpretation to section 14(3) of the Constitution the reference to “sex” ought not to merely reference a physical gender. Such an approach would be too linear and restrictive. The reference to “sex” would necessarily encompass concepts such as gender identity, sexual character, and sexual orientation. It would be self-defeating to the constitutional provision if the notion of sex were to be separated from matters of sexual orientation and sexual identification since the concept of sex as a physical gender carries with it a perception of how people identify and are oriented even in those instances when the identification and orientation are stereotypical or traditional in nature."

The Antigua and Barbuda Labour Code does not offer protection against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Children (Care and Adoption) Act (2015), states that “couple” means a man and a woman who are married to each other; or who are not married to each other, but are cohabiting in a relationship of some permanence.

According to "Research Report on Issues Related to Stigma, Discriminations and Human Rights of LGBTI People in Antigua and Barbuda", due to ongoing training received, the system has adopted an implied “don’t ask, don’t tell” environment in which officers are treated professionally and equally regardless of their identity.

On July 5th, 2022, The High Court of Justice for Antigua and Barbuda struck down sections of the Sexual Offences Act of 1995 that made homosexuality illegal. In the ruling, the age of consent was set the same for any two persons, regardless of gender.
