Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the extent to which Christianity and the Church have influenced Jamaican constitutional law regarding the guarantees of equality and freedom from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. It explores the role and impact of the Christian lobby, and Christian norms more generally, in three areas: (i) constitutional drafting (ii) judicial interpretation of the constitution and (iii) the role of the Christian lobby as “interested parties” in constitutional adjudication. Regional progress in this area is examined, and the extent to which Jamaica's constitutional text may itself restrict similar advancements locally.
