Mozambique has decriminalised homosexuality in its new penal code, making it one of a few African countries where same-sex relationships are legal.
The revised code, in force from Wednesday, drops a colonial-era clause outlawing “vices against nature”.
There were no prosecutions under that clause but rights activists have said this change is a symbolic victory.
Mozambique has joined a trail of countries that have decided to trash the very commandments of God and try using the bible and modernity to justify what can only be described as demonic spirits.
