Many homosexuals and those who support their sexual rights lobby in Botswana and outside the country are elated. Recently, the Gaborone High Court ruled that it is unconstitutional for government to deny gay and lesbian people the right to register their organisation called Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of Botswana (LEGABIBO).

Although government has decided to appeal the high Court judgment, the triumphant LEGABIBO is in high spirit as it hopes that its victory may eventually pave the way for the decriminalisation of homosexuality. 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?
