Botswana gay group wins 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.

    4. Agreed, so far it is not a crime does not make it a sin. However, it is not for the political government to criminalise a sin, irrespective of our righteous they may be. And we all know righteousness is far far away from our politicians.

  24. Any country who jail or kill gay people, check that country very well, such country always in crisis, blood shared and corruption, just take a look at Nigeria now and then. So judge no man, give them right to live, then see Nigeria grow and how happy u all would be.
