Rising hate leaves 'no place for gays' in Senegal
AFP via MSN ^ | 07-29-2022 | AFP staff writers

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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