Homosexuality no longer a crime in Botswana
Botswana’s High Court has overturned a colonial-era law criminalizing consensual same-sex relations.
This is a landmark victory for Africa’s LGBTQ movements.
- A democratic society is one that embraces tolerance, diversity and open-mindedness, Justice Michael Leburu said in an interviwe with CNN.
He noted that discriminatory law not only serves as a detriment to LGBTQ people, but holds back all of society.
