LGBT RIGHTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF RWANDA

The Republic of Rwanda is considered a leader in the progress on human rights for LGBT persons in East Africa. Rwanda is a signatory of the United Nations joint statement condemning violence against LGBT people, being one of the only few countries in Africa to have sponsored the declaration, and stands in sharp contrast with neighboring Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi. 

 In the old Kingdom of Rwanda, male homosexuality was common among young Hutus and Tutsis. In 1986, a 19 year old Tutsi man was recorded as saying that "traditionally" in his tribe, there was an extended period during which boys lived apart from the rest of the village while they are training to be warriors, during which was very emotional, and often sexual, relationships were stuck up..... sometimes these relationship lasted beyond adolescence into adulthood. 

 Watusi still have a reputation for bisexuality in the cities of East Africa.
