Mozambique’s 2015 decriminalisation of homosexual acts occurred not through court rulings or mass protest, but through parliamentary reform and local advocacy, making Mozambique an outlier in Africa in its relatively tolerant behaviours and attitudes toward non-heterosexual relationships.

Join the editors Francisco Miguel and Marc Epprecht as they discuss queer lives and culture in Mozambique with Caio Simões de Araújo and Paola Prandini.
