“Person in the street” responses to the Express‘s “Big Question” on legalising same-sex marriage illustrate how, notwithstanding their religious teaching, members of the T&T public are fundamentally supportive of gay people’s equality and self-determination.
The results of the text poll are still a mystery, however. On several calls to the Express newsroom, no one, including editors Darren Bahaw and Irving Ward, could provide the results. They’ve promised to look into it, and we’ll keep you posted.

CAISO: Sex and Gender Justice
CAISO is a feminist Civil Society Organisation committed to ensuring wholeness, justice and inclusion for Trinidad and Tobago’s LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex) communities, by developing analysis, alliances and advocacy.
CAISO uses voice, space, work, play and community to improve governance and build a nation all citizens can share. One focus of this mission has been leadership at building intersectional human rights collaborations and at strengthening human rights mechanisms and their use.
Over a decade CAISO has offered the public a consistent voice and face for LGBTQI issues shifting the needle measurably in how the nation imagines, understands and talks about sex/gender diversity. We have successfully built alliances—among LGBTQI groups; with other T&T NGOs and movements; and internationally. CAISO’s collaborations have developed interventions and capacity to deliver justice and build resilience.
