1979-02-22 — Saint Lucia became independent.

2001 — The Saint Lucian Kwéyòl Dictionary documented the island’s French-based Creole; English and Kwéyòl are different languages, not different LGBTQ+ identities.

2001 / 2005 — United and Strong formed in 2001 and registered as an NGO in 2005.

2019 — 758Pride began its independently organized LGBTQI+ Pride celebrations. Annual dates and venues need organizer confirmation.

2025-07-29 — The High Court modified Criminal Code sections 132 and 133 to exclude consensual private same-sex acts within the judgment’s stated conditions.

2026-10-03 — Decriminalisation does not by itself establish marriage equality, comprehensive anti-discrimination protection or social acceptance. Those questions require separate current verification.

Kwéyòl (Kwéyòl) — The island’s French-based Creole language. This spelling is documented; no unverified Kwéyòl queer slang is supplied or treated as a search fact.

758Pride (758Pride) — A local Pride organizer’s name, not a standing bar. Pride celebrations, Creole festivals and general street parties are different kinds of events.
