04 October 2023 shall be forever engraved in the glittery and colourful pages of queer history for the Supreme Court of Mauritius decriminalised homosexuality after plaints were lodged challenging the constitutionality of Section 250(1) of the Criminal Code 1938. Alas, often, as queer people and those whose work are grounded in social justice and societal change, overlook two, or maybe three, important aspects of this moment – first, that we were able to reach to this milestone because of a groundwork which started decades before, globally and locally; second, that the four years leading to the Supreme Court judgment was marked with a series of actions to which, the Court and the population may be oblivious; and third, the state of queer movements beyond the court win.
