In June 2014, the Institute of Commonwealth Studies held the Legal and Judicial Legacies of Empire Conference in London. The Chief Executive of the Human Dignity Trust, Téa Braun, was invited to present on the legacy of British colonial sexual offences laws which effectively still criminalise same-sex activity in a number of former colonies today. She deplored the ”devastating legacy of the British empire for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities” around the world.
