Coalition of African Lesbians

Came across this article and am glad that African lesbians are able to get together to discuss the homophobia and the prejudice that they face constantly. I salute these women for coming out and saying yes we are African and yes we are lesbians. Here's an extract:

From Pink News: African lesbian conference demands equal rights. Lesbians from across Africa have held a conference in Mozambique to highlight the homophobia and prejudice they face across the continent. Most nations in Africa criminalise same-sex relationships and in some countries gay people can be put to death.
... "Our main goal is that lesbian and homosexuality can no longer be seen as a criminal offence," the group's director and conference spokeswoman Fikile Vilakazi told Reuters.

Check out the whole article and read more on what's going on with our African sisters who are trying to make a difference. I unfortunately was unable to find a website for CAL and will continue to look for it.
