SODOMY so-do-my friends so-do-my family so-do-my lovers so-do-my neighbours SCRAP UNJUST LAWS! National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality (front)
Africa 2000 (back)


The Lesbian and Gay Equality Project (LGEP), formerly known as the National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality (NCGLE), is an NGO centred on the expanding of LGBT civil rights in South Africa and other countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Founded by Zackie Achmat in 1994, the organisation successfully lobbied for the inclusion of sexual orientation as a basis for non-discrimination laws in the country after the end of apartheid. The organisation has continued to operate after South Africa officially legalised same-sex marriage in 2005. Its work includes "law reform, lobbying, litigation, advocacy, employment equity, leadership training and development."

This T-shirt commemorates the constitutional overhaul of apartheid-era sodomy laws. Two years earlier, with the case of National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality v Minister of Justice, the common-law crimes of sodomy and other so-called 'unnatural sexual acts' were deemed unconstitutional by the High Court.
