Botswana gay group wins court case, can now officially be registered
A Botswana gay and lesbian group, LEGABIBO, (short for Lesbians,
Gays &Bisexuals of Botswana) has won a landmark legal case in the
Botswana High Court and they can now be officially registered as a
group.
The judge Terrence Rannowane, who ruled, said that the refusal of the government to register the group was unconstitutional. In his verdict, he declared "It is also
not a crime to be a homosexual." The verdict was passed today, November 14.
