LGBT rights in Angola

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LGBT 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.^[1] Homosexuality is according to the law "an offence against the public moral" and therefore prohibited.^[2]
