Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Swaziland face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Male same-sex sexual acts are illegal[1] in Swaziland, though as of May 2008 the legal status of female same-sex sexual acts was unclear according to the International Lesbian and Gay Association's 2008 "State sponsored homophobia" report.[1]
According to the Prime Minister homosexuality is an "abnormality and sickness".[2] According to Swazi tradition however, two women can lawfully marry.[3]
