Information on the situation for homosexuals in Botswana :

Illegal

Little information was found on the situation for homosexuals in Botswana. Hopefully, the country will be more influenced by the recent homosexual "revolution" in neighbouring South Africa than the bigoted regime of Zimbabwe.

There is an lgbt organization called Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals in Botswana (LEGABIBO). The government has so far refused to register them as an organization. If you want to get in touch with them, send an e-mail to Tebogo.

If you have any further information on the current situation in Botswana, please contact me
