Angola Becomes First African Nation To Legalize Same Sex Marriage by Nobody: 11:26am On Jan 29, 2019 |
Angola on Wednesday (23 January) became the first country this year to decriminalize gay sex. Lawmakers finally implemented a bill to overhaul to the southwestern African country’s 1886 penal code. They dropped a ‘vices against nature’ provision which was historically used to prosecute against gay sex. The new code also bans discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment. It passed with 155 votes in favor, one against, and seven abstentions. The country’s ruling party said the new code was ‘genuinely Angolan’. Angola’s previous penal code was written the Portuguese when they ruled the country in 1886. Discrimination and stigma is a problem in the country. There is no legal recognition of same-sex couples. In 2018, LGBTI Angolans celebrated a major win when the government legally recognized an LGBTI rights group, Iris Angola. Around 70 countries worldwide still criminalize gay sex. Last year saw landmark decriminalization in India and Trinidad and Tobago. India’s Supreme Court ruled the anti-gay British-era penal code, similar to Angola’s, was unconstitutional.

Chai my dear Africa is headed for the gallows. So how will gay couples explain to any unfortunate kid they adopted that his/her mother is a man when they obviously see different mothers coming to pick their mates from school Too much of everything is bad oo...why can't we just learn technological innovation from the whites and leave the pervasive aspects of their civilization alone?? |

probably hunting for increased aid from the west smh modified Just read Decriminalized not Legalized two different things.. one means you won't face jail time for being gay the other means its legal/recognized by the law to have a partner of same-sex I support the first anyhow.. but they still have to deal with societal stigma tho, i wonder what plans they have in place to deal with such |
