Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Grenada face social and legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents. The penal code makes male same-sex acts on Grenada proper illegal with a punishment of up to 10 years in prison; it also does not address discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, nor does it recognize same sex unions in any form, whether it be marriage or partnerships. Households headed by same-sex couples are also not eligible for any of the same rights given to opposite-sex married couples.
