LGBTQ+ Safety Notice — HIGH RISK

Criminalised again pending appeal — discretion advised

Local law: The 2018 High Court ruling that struck down the colonial 'buggery' law was reinstated on appeal; same-sex acts are criminalised while the legal challenge continues.

Safety guidance for visitors →

Do not disclose your orientation to hotel staff, drivers, or guides.
Avoid public displays of affection of any kind.
Do not use LGBTQ+ dating apps — police entrapment via apps is documented. If you must, install a VPN before arrival.
Avoid carrying LGBTQ+ identifiers (flags, books, screenshots) in luggage.
Phone searches at airports can include checks for LGBTQ+ content — delete sensitive chats/photos before crossing borders.
If travelling with a same-sex partner, present yourselves as "friends" or "colleagues"; book separate hotel rooms for safety.
Use Signal or Wire for sensitive messaging — not WhatsApp.
Keep emergency cash (USD/EUR) and two separate payment cards.
Stay at international-chain hotels (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) — they rarely interrogate guest arrangements.
Register with your embassy on arrival — consular help may be limited.
Share a daily check-in with someone trusted abroad.
Listings on this page are provided for harm reduction and informed travel decisions — not a recommendation to visit.

About this place Trinidad and Tobago Transgender Coalition (3TC)

3TC campaigns for the rights and needs of transgender and nonbinary people in Trinidad and Tobago. Its president, Brandy Rodriguez, received a Commonwealth Points of Light award for her work on health care access for LGBT+ people and people living with HIV. The coalition produces the Illuminating Lives video series on YouTube, in which trans people describe their experiences with unemployment, stigma and violence. For the 2025 PrideTT parade, 3TC and CAISO built the first Pride mas float, with help from Queer Corner, Friends for Life, Tobago Pride and other groups. The coalition publishes no street address.
