LGBT rights in Rwanda
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people living in Rwanda face discrimination not faced by non-LGBT people. While neither homosexuality nor homosexual acts are illegal, homosexuality is considered a taboo topic, and there is no significant public discussion of this issue in any region of the country.〔Spartacus International Gay Guide, page 1216. Bruno Gmunder Verlag, 2007.〕 No special legislative protections are afforded to LGBT citizens,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Legislation of INTERPOL member states on sexual offences against children )〕 and same-sex marriages are not recognised by the state, as the Constitution of Rwanda provides that "()nly civil monogamous marriage between a man and a woman is recognized".〔(Article 26 of the Constitution of the Republic of Rwanda )〕 LGBT Rwandans, however, have reported being harassed, blackmailed, and even arrested by the police under various laws dealing with public order and morality.〔("Gay Rwanda 2008" )〕
On 16 December 2009, the national parliament debated whether to make homosexuality a criminal offense, with a punishment of 5–10 years' imprisonment.〔(Africa’s Culture War: The Fight Over Uganda's Anti-Gay Bill – The World Newser )〕 This legislation was similar to the controversial anti-homosexuality bill in the neighboring country of Uganda.〔(Anti-gay bill in Uganda challenges Catholics to take a stand | National Catholic Reporter )〕 Justice Minister Tharcisse Karugarama, however, condemned and refuted reports that the government intended to criminalize homosexual acts, saying that sexual orientation is a private matter, not a state business.〔()〕
== Government and politics ==
As of 2010, no legislation exists to address discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.〔(''The Violations of the Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Persons in RWANDA - A Shadow Report'', submitted to the Human Rights Committee by Global Rights, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, the Coalition of African Lesbians, the International Human Rights Clinic, and the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School, March 2009 )〕
