Windhoek - A Namibian gay-rights coalition challenged President Sam Nujoma yesterday to state under which laws gays and lesbians could be prosecuted, after remarks he made earlier this week. "Nowhere does our constitution state that gay and lesbian people are not members of the human family and therefore do not enjoy the same rights as all other citizens," a spokesman for the Rainbow Project coalition said.
