Angola has decriminalised homosexuality, lifting an archaic ban on same-sex relationships and introducing anti-discrimination protections.
A new law overturned a ban on same-sex relationships which was inherited from when the country was a Portuguese colony. The ban described same-sex relationships as a “vice against nature”.
Activist Jean-Luc Romero-Michel tweeted that the law was a “great step forward” in the fight against state-sponsored discrimination against the LGBT+ community in the Southern African nation.

When asked why she is passionate about physics, Sonia Paban looks down and takes a long pause. “Physics explains many phenomena using very few concepts. It is the universality. You can explain the motion of the moon with the same equations that you use to explain how a car is moving,” says Paban, associate professor of physics at The University of Texas at Austin.
Paban was recently inducted into UT’s Academy of Distinguished Teachers for her active learning approaches and for encouraging critical thinking.
“I think we all seek to understand the world around us, to make sense of our existence,” she continues. “Throughout history, people have made sense of existence with all sorts of tales or narratives. But to me, explaining natural phenomena using scientific concepts is fulfilling. It has its own intrinsic beauty.”
