Homophobic attacks have reached
dangerous levels in sub-Saharan Africa and must stop, Amnesty International has
said in a report.
Governments are increasingly criminalizing "homosexual acts" by seeking to impose new laws and draconian penalties, it adds.
This sends the "toxic message" that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are criminals, the report says.
Some of the continent's leaders say homosexuality is ''Un-African''.
In 2011, the US and UK hinted that they could withdraw from countries which did not respect homosexual rights on the socially conservative continent.
However, Amnesty said US religious groups "actively fund and promote homophobia in Africa", while many of the laws were inherited from the colonial era.
What do you think? Are they meddling in our affairs?

These guys are obviously meddling in our affairs. Homosexuality is dirty and a major cause of sexually transmitted diseases especially among gay men. It should be discouraged and not promoted.
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely meddling. They can practice it all they want but in Africa it is a criminal offence. Evil people! Anti-christ!
