Representatives from LGBT groups throughout Africa are calling for governments to end homophobia and repeal laws against homosexuality.

The conference, in the Mozambique capital, was organized by the Coalition of African Lesbians. About 75 people are taking part in the weeklong meeting.

Homosexuality is outlawed in 38 countries in Africa.

"We might be seemingly a bit lost right now on the African continent, but there's positive talk," one delegate who declined to give her name or country told the British Broadcasting Corporation. "As Christians we realize that the Bible doesn't discriminate, it embraces us in our diversity."
