Gay rights are human rights – LGBTQI+ community :: Mmegi Online

Chants of "Gay rights are human rights, bisexual rights are human rights, lesbian rights are human rights, transgender rights are human rights!" echoed through the Pride March in Gaborone on Saturday morning in support of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) rights.

The LGBTQI+ community proudly displayed banners and flags bearing messages like 'We are not forcing anyone to love us, we just want to be given our human rights in full package and we will be content', 'Stand for human rights, resist hate, discrimination, embrace equality and diversity', 'I deserve the right to be human', 'End gender oppression now!', and more, all advocating for inclusion and human rights equality.

Addressing the gathering, Pride coordinator Olivia Maswikiti expressed pride in bringing Pride home, marking the fifth year of celebrating the event in Botswana.
