Submission Statement: The article describes the context in which Botswana's courts will hear arguments over same-sex marriage in July. It talks about the couple at the center of the case, as well as the opposition to same sex marriage from religious and traditionalist groups in Botswana.
If Botswana's court recognise same-sex marriages, it will become the second country in Africa to do so, and it will solidify the Southern Africa region as going in the opposite direction to the rest of the continent, toward equality rather than persecution.
Relevance: social equality, lgbt rights, liberalism in the developing world
