Information
has gloss	eng: National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality and Another v. Minister of Justice and Others, CCT 11/98 (1998) is a South African Constitutional Court case decided on October 9, 1998 that resulted in a landmark decision regarding sodomy laws. Basing itself on South Africa's 1996 post-apartheid Constitution — which was the first Constitution ever to explicitly ban discrimination based on sexual orientation —, the Court unanimously overturned as unconstitutional the law banning sexual activities between men. The case was the first in a series of court rulings advancing gay rights in South Africa; it was followed seven years later by another landmark case, Minister of Home Affairs v. Fourie (2005), which legalized same-sex marriage in South Africa.
