Activists Decry Botswana’s Appeal Against Legalizing Gay Sex
Published on: Thursday 18 July 2019
Botswana's government is to appeal a High Court judgement which overturned colonial-era laws against gay sex – the latest in decriminalization of homosexual relations through the courts in Africa.
Botswana's conservative and religious communities have welcomed the possible repeal of the ruling while the gay community and rights groups have decried the appeal as a step backwards.
The country’s gay community and rights activists celebrated on June 11, when the High Court overturned the laws against gay sex.
