Congratulations, #Botswana!

“The state cannot be sheriff in people’s bedrooms.” Botswana decriminalises same-sex relations in historic judgment mg.co.za/article/2019-0… #LGBTQ #Pride

“Sexual orientation is innate to human beings and is not a fashion statement,” the court stated. “Homosexuality is not unAfrican, but it is one other way Africans identify but have been repressed for many years.” #Botswana #LGBTQ

From @hrw Human Rights Watch report This Alien Legacy — The Origins of “Sodomy” Laws in British Colonialism: many of the countries that outlaw same-sex relations do so “because they once were British colonies” #Botswana #LGBTQ

A truth that should be respected around the world. Congratulations, #Botswana for scrapping British colonial-era laws and decriminalizing same-sex relations. #LGBTQ
