GABON There are no sodomy laws in Gabon, homosexuality is legal in Gabon since 2000 and the age of consent is equal at 18 for all. - Un réseau d’homosexuel en milieu scolaire (2011, Translation): Cinq jeunes filles, NNMT (19 ans), AOB(20 ans), AL(21 ans), MBW (22 ans) et BNK (23 ans), toutes élèves en classe de terminale A1A du collège évangélique Nang Essono de Melen, se livraient au lesbianisme au sein del'établissement, et ce , depuis plusieurs mois... - Une violation des Droits de l’Homme au Gabon totalement inacceptable (2011, Translation): C’est en date du 08 mars 2011 que les gabonaises, les gabonais et les internautes du monde entier découvrirent avec grand regret un article à caractère homophobe qui présenta le Gabon comme étant un pays où le respect des libertés individuelles relève de l’utopie. En effet, l’article intitulé « Des élèves lesbiennes rattrapées par des clichés dans un lycée » (Translation) pourrait être la source des attaques dont devraient pouvoir répondre le Gabon si et seulement si des mesures urgentes ne sont pas prises quant à la réhabilitation des droits des paisibles citoyennes qui auraient été attaquées à tort par les autorités du lycée évangélique de Melen. - L’homosexualité et le hiphop gabonais (Translation). - Homophobie : le président gambien promet de couper la tête à tout homosexuel qu’il arrêtera dans son pays (2008, Translation): Il a sommé les homosexuels à quitter le pays, notant qu’une loi beaucoup plus sévère que celle en vigueur en Iran sera prochainement introduite pour lutter contre ce vice.

Une publicité soupçonnée d'homosexualité (2004, Translation): Une publicité pour un pack de deux téléphones mobiles, mettant en scène deux jeunes filles et baptisée « premier amour », a suscité ces dernières semaines une polémique au Gabon, pays qui tolère une homosexualité discrète. Ces affiches, qui font partie d'une série dont les autres mettent en scène des couples plus classiques et ont fleuri à Libreville depuis une campagne lancée à l'occasion de la Saint Valentin, ont fait réagir la presse gouvernementale. - Homosexualité et publicité (2004, Translation): Une petite polémique autour de l'homosexualité discrète au Gabon... L'homosexualité au Gabon, comme dans beaucoup de pays d'Afrique, est une pratique taboue mais elle ne relève pas du code pénal, contrairement à ce qui se passe au Sénégal, au Kenya, en Ouganda, ou même au Nigeria où elle est passible de la peine de mort. Selon un journaliste librevillois, l'homosexualité est ici souvent considérée comme une maladie. Il cite le cas d'un jeune Gabonais "efféminé", envoyé par sa famille à Lambaréné (230 km au sud de Libreville) suivre des rites initiatiques "pour affermir sa virilité". Lui-même, qui dit avoir des amis gays et "tolérer l'homosexualité", s'avoue choqué "qu'on en fasse la promotion". "C'est encore un tabou, c'est une grosse hypocrisie", estime Olivier. La plupart des homosexuels au Gabon sont mariés, ont des enfants, de peur de vivre ouvertement leur sexualité, affirme-t-il. L'homosexualité est tolérée quand elle n'est pas outrancière, explique-t-il. "On est agressé que si on est aguicheur, si on a des comportements qui choquent, si on fait la +grande folle+". De son côté, Servais, la quarantaine, également gay, estime que les mentalités ont beaucoup changé. "On s'exprime davantage qu'avant", juge-t-il. Lui-même assure vivre son homosexualité à découvert: tous ses proches sont au courant. "Je ne m'en cache pas. Je me sens libre ici", dit-il. A Libreville, il n'existe pas d'association gay et seuls quelques rares endroits sont fréquentés exclusivement par des homosexuels. - Advertisement gets Gabon talking about taboo gay topics (2004): A poster advertisement for a pair of mobile telephones, picturing two girls and with the slogan "first love", has got people in the west African state of Gabon talking about a big social taboo.

ScotMUN 2011: Human Rights Council: Position Papers: The Rights to Asylum for Homosexuals: Gabon: Recognizing that the life of homosexuals is often a difficult one, Gabon wants to express its sympathy for the people concerned. Gabon notes that homosexuality can exist in any country no matter what the background, religion or culture is. For more than 10 years homosexuality has been legal in Gabon and we are not thinking of changing this in the near future. The Gabonese society is still in the process of adapting to the acceptance of homosexuality but is trying its best to do so. Therefore we would like to remind all distinguished members of the Human Rights Council that Gabon was one of the countries to sign the United Nations Declaration on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in 2008. Gabon would like to point out that this declaration has been violated in November 2010 by all the states which proposed and voted for an amendment to legalise executions of homosexuals. We were one of the states which restored the original resolution in February 2011 to show our acceptance of homosexuals. We would however like to point out that although homosexuality is legal for those over 21 in Gabon, we do not offer asylum for homosexuals from other nations.

EQUATORIAL GUINEA 2009 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Societal Abuses, Discrimination, and Acts of Violence Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity: Societal stigmatization and discrimination against homosexual persons was strong, and the government made little effort to combat it. - Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Equatorial Guinea:  may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is legal in Equatorial Guinea, but same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available as opposite-sex couples..
