(QD)The Voice newspaper earlier this month published an advertorial on gay life, breaking a long standing journalistic taboo against positive representations of gays and lesbians in the country. The advertorial was sponsored by LEGABIBO (Lesbians,Gays and Bisexuals of Botswana).


Courage, from both LEGABIBO and The Voice. Good on 'em -- I hope they make some headway.

Nancy White will be so pleased.

All together now...

Tribal drums in the jungles of Botswana
Bring back sweet memories of you
We were guerillas there, and together baby
The skies were always blue.
