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.

Look at the big picture. Senegal is one of the progs favorite African pet nations. What does Senegal want? Whitey tax dollars. Who is in charge of whitey tax dollars? Homos, chomos, trannies, and perverts. What is the best way to get those tax dollars? “THAT’S RACIST” and “THAT’S HOMOPHOBIC.”

He is 20 and has been fighting tensions of his sexuality for 10+ years? If it were my kid, I would flat tell them to quit that idiocy, and live celibate or turn over a new leaf. Find a good girl, commit to her and get married. It IS possible, who you have sex with IS A CHOICE. How can it be otherwise?

Like a duckling follows its Mother duck, it is a learned behavior caused by molestation by older people. Ask every homosexual you know, when they had their first experience, and how old were they? How old was the person who was their first. Then ask them how many children under 18 THEY have had sex with, and how old they were when it happened. Very few will say it was an adult to adult situation. It was an 17+ person, and they don’t think of it as preying, but they like the 12-13 YO’s.

He said he wants to stop the gay “lobby” from dominating mainstream Senegalese culture.

“If two homosexuals, holed up in their home, engage in their activities, that does not concern us — but we really want to preserve Senegalese public space,” he said, insisting his organisation is peaceful and does not condone mob violence.

“Holding Gay Pride... that we will not accept.”

A reasonable position but not acceptable by the homersexuals.

Homersexuality is a BEHAVIOUR, not an identity.
