good to see. i was in mauritius a few weeks ago and didnt know it was criminal to be gay.

it was evident to me that it's a very conservative country though, some of the mauritians i know are quite homophobic. it would have been better for the abolition of this law to come from parliament. i hope this doesnt trigger reactionary moves to recriminalise.
