A new in-depth report highlighted the abuse and discrimination that the LGBTQ community faces in the eastern Caribbean island of St. Vincent.
"Every LGBT person interviewed by Human Rights Watch said they wished to leave the country immediately or had envisioned their future abroad," the report stated.
In St. Vincent, anal sex is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, while "gross indecency" with another person of the same sex is punishable by up to five years, according to colonial-era laws that are common in the socially conservative Caribbean region.
