Angola Legalizes Same-Sex Sexual Relationships.
On Wednesday, the Southern African nation, Angola, decriminalize same-sex sexual relations in the country.
According to information gathered, the new law overturned a colonial-era ban on homosexual relations which described it as “vice against nature”.
Activist Jean-Luc Romero-Michel tweeted, “The law decriminalizing homosexuality adopted in Angola in 2019 took effect today. Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is now reprehensible and even punishable by prison.”
Romero-Michel further stated that it was “a great step forward” in the fight against state-sponsored discrimination against the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer and intersex) community.
This is coming after US President, Joe Biden, issued a presidential memorandum aimed at protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer and intersex (LGBTQI) people worldwide.
Gistlover reports that Nigeria’s anti-gay laws have been criticized by global rights groups, which have categorized the country as overtly homophobic.
