"After years of attempts, the Cook Islands have officially decriminalized
homosexuality.
With the Crimes (Sexual Offences) Amendment Bill, the group of 15 islands
located in the South Pacific has rescinded a section of its Crimes Act of 1969
that said men who have sex with men could be jailed for up to five years and
anyone hosting the acts on their property could be jailed for up to 10 years.
The law has reportedly never been enforced, but its removal has nonetheless
been lauded as a landmark moment for the islands, one that was supported by all
major parties."
