The first African country to legalize gay marriage
With a nickname like Rainbow Nation, it’ll come as no surprise that South Africa is more tolerant towards the LGBTQ+ community than many other places on the continent.
In 2006, it became the first African country and the fifth country in the world to recognize same-sex marriage, after the Netherlands (2001), Belgium (2003), Spain (2005), and Canada (2005). Subsequently, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer couples can marry and adopt children and have equal access to IVF and surrogacy.
Cape Town has the largest LGBTQ+ scene in South Africa and is known as the gay capital of Africa.
