Pride TT has ex­tend­ed its heart­felt con­grat­u­la­tions to Prime Min­is­ter-elect Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar and the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) Coali­tion of In­ter­ests on their suc­cess in the 2025 Gen­er­al Elec­tion.

The or­gan­i­sa­tion says it is hope­ful that this new era of lead­er­ship will ush­er in long-await­ed progress on crit­i­cal hu­man rights and so­cial jus­tice is­sues af­fect­ing our na­tion’s LGBTQ+ com­mu­ni­ty.

In a state­ment on Wednes­day, Pride TT said, "Pride TT strong­ly urges the new gov­ern­ment to pri­or­i­tize amend­ments to the Equal Op­por­tu­ni­ty Act (EOA) to in­clude pro­tec­tions against dis­crim­i­na­tion based on sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion, gen­der iden­ti­ty, HIV/AIDS sta­tus, and age. These up­dates are vi­tal to en­sur­ing that all cit­i­zens can live with dig­ni­ty, safe­ty, and equal op­por­tu­ni­ty un­der the law."
