Should LEGABIBO prevail against government’s court appeal, Botswana may end up being part of the family of nations that embrace the rights of gay and lesbian sexual minorities.

Once the LEGABIBO’s agenda catches on, we should expect it to demand other gay rights like gay marriages and adoption of kids. Is Botswana organisationally, morally and spiritually ready to make a shift in this direction?
