Did you know
In 1998, South Africa became the first country in the world to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. It was the fifth country in the world to legalise same sex marriage - and remains the only country in Africa to do so.
As early as 2002, the court ruled that same sex couples should be given the same rights as married couples with regards to adoption. Same sex couples can adopt a child together, as well as adopting each other’s children. In 2006,c the South African parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of a bill permitting same-sex civil marriage.
In addition, openly gay people may serve in the South African armed forces, and transgender people are permitted to alter their recorded gender in the population registry, allowing them to acquire updated passports and other identity documents.
We are proud to be part of a country where equality is enshrined in our law.
South Africa is a great destination for LGBTQ travellers
South Africa is a draw for many LGBT travellers as it is by far the most welcoming country on the continent. There are several festivals and events celebrating LGBTQ culture across the country, from Pride marches and film festivals to street parties.
Cape Town, South Africa’s “Pink City”, is renowned for its LGBTQ community, events and nightlife. Cape Town is often called the gay capital of Africa, and was voted the second-largest gay capital in the world.
Other cities, including Johannesburg, Durban and Knysna, also have growing LGBTQ scenes.
