Gay rights in Angola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gay rights in Angola are very limited. Homosexuality has been against the law of Angola since colonial times, it specifically being outlawed in September 1886 under Portuguese law. Anyone committing "acts against nature" can be sentenced to forced labor camps. This law was never changed during the independence era.
