Rising hate leaves 'no place for gays' in Senegal

Every time Abdou's mother hears of a homophobic attack in the streets of Senegal's capital Dakar, she locks him in her bedroom.

Abdou -- who, like other LGBTQ people AFP interviewed, asked not to be identified by his real name -- is used to hiding. He has been concealing his sexuality most of his life.

But lately the 20-year-old has felt even more in danger.

"The situation is becoming more and more serious," said the soft-spoken unemployed tailor.

"Before they would say you were gay, but they didn't hit you. Today you are beaten and it's posted on social media."

Homosexuality has never been widely accepted in Senegal, a deeply conservative nation. But tensions have risen to new heights in recent months.

In May, Senegalese football star Idrissa Gana Gueye was criticised in France for missing a Paris Saint-Germain match for "personal reasons" in which players wore rainbow jerseys to support LGBTQ rights.

Emphasis added. That's the place in the story where the real story starts.

Recent tensions are the result of deliberate provocation from the alleged (former) civilized world.

Fulfilling Luke 17:26-32 every day it seems, this old world 🌍🌎.

Which is exactly why what’s prophesied will come.

Ah, let's look at the left-wing (e.g., medi) checklist for late morning today. X Hate fear porn. ? Climate change fear porn. X COVID fear porn. (This is always checked. X Schlong Pox fear porn. X Extreme right-wing fear porn. Rest assured that an evening check will find all checked.

[rktman]

Well maybe MEgan wrapinhoe should go protest there.

[ClearCase_guy]

Maybe he should stop behaving that way.

[BenLurkin]

Article says “hate” — but isn’t it really about disgust?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

So you’re saying they hate disease ridden child molesters?

Abdou in the streets of Senegal's capital Dakar...

What the freak are they talking about?

As weird as the LGBTQRSTWXYZ moniker.

[Sacajaweau]

How did “hate” ever become a crime?? It’s an emotion.

[PGR88]

I assume Senegal was like most places in the world with regard to homosexuality - its not accepted, but people overall won’t pry into one’s private life, and can’t be bothered to persecute homosexuals actively.

But activist globohomo as a political movement made sure to rub everyone’s face in it. And especially in the 3rd world, its a new form of EU and Western imperialism.

So of course, there will be reactions against it.

Not to worry...da mohn-kee poxes gonna get ‘em.

Its a pandemic, ya know...

[Colt1851Navy]

My poofter sympathy is below zero and has been for twenty years.

[politicket]

Rising morals leaves no place for sodomites to recruit the young in Senegal.

There...fixed it...

[Getready]

In other countries where resources are slim...spreading disease and physical harm to others is not tolerated.

[Getready]

If not the pox, they will find another organism to spread.

[elpadre]

I wonder if the kid ever considered not being homosexual, to transition to normal??? Most become that way because of their mothers, or friends, not because of any scientific abnormality.

[Bernard]

Send him to Andorra.

[reg45]

Senegal is 96% Muslim….

[JimRed]

Why is a NORMAL response to the ABNORMAL always portrayed as HATE?

[Luke21]

They often start their propaganda with some liberal victim. They never interview and feature victims of the NWO.
