LEGABIBO, the church at loggerheads :: Mmegi Online

The Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals of Botswana (LEGABIBO) and Evangelical Fellowship of Botswana who are representing their respective churches are at war over Botswana Parliament Debates Amendment of the Penal Code Bill No.29 Bill of 2022.

In an interview with Mmegi this week LEGABIBO CEO Thato Moruti said they remain resolute in the decisions by the courts declaring the unconstitutionality of section 164 (a) and (c) on November 29th, 2021. Those sections prohibited anal sex. Moruti had therefore called on to legislators not take decisions that would second-guess the courts.

Furthermore, Moruti advised the church and the general public that they do not support nor condone any indoctrination of children. He explained that they offered services to individuals above the ages of 18, which is the age of majority in Botswana. He stated that they were strongly against the propaganda and misinformation used by some Christians that thrusts hate and sidelining of minorities.
