Human rights in Guinea-Bissau
In December 2008, Guinea-Bissau became one of 66 countries to sign the "United Nations Statement on Human Rights, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity". The statement supports decriminalization of homosexuality and transgender identity.[1]
Of 19 African countries surveyed in 2010, Guinea-Bissau was one of the most tolerant about homosexual behavior. Nine percent in Guinea-Bissau said that homosexual behavior was morally acceptable, with fifteen percent saying it was not an issue.[2]
