A controversial ad campaign by anti-LGBTQ+ group CitizenGO at Antigua’s V.C. Bird International Airport has triggered strong criticism as the island hosts the Organization of American States (OAS) General Assembly this week.

The campaign, featuring digital and printed material in the arrivals area, has been widely condemned by local and international observers. Critics say CitizenGO’s messaging clashes with the OAS’s commitment to equality and inclusion.

Human rights groups have described the decision to allow the campaign as a national embarrassment and warned it could harm Antigua and Barbuda’s global image during a high-profile, human rights-centred event.
