The advancement of LGBT ideology is suffering a major setback in Africa. About 32 African countries have already criminalized homosexuality, lesbianism, same-sex marriage and transgenderism. Every effort to introduce these practices has been vehemently opposed by the people of Africa, and laws are coming up to ensure that these are not practiced at all. Nigeria criminalized homosexuality in 2014 with penalties of up to 14 years in prison.
Recently, Uganda passed the anti-LGBT bill into law, and members of the Parliament have vowed to resist outside pressure. Despite wide condemnation from Western countries, the European Union and United Nations, the Ugandan government remains persistent in implementing the law.
Ghana has also passed an anti-LGBT bill that will criminalize LGBT advocacy and jail LGBT people for at least five years. The Ghanaian Parliament has vowed to fight back if any sanction is imposed on members of Parliament or on the country as a whole by the United States or any other Western nations.
According to Sam George — a member of the Ghanaian Parliament — “We will serve notice to Western powers that we have taken judicial notice of what they have done to the speaker of Uganda and the sponsors of [the] anti-LGBTQ bill. We will serve notice as well that if they replicate [the] same with our speaker and members of our Parliament, we will also take actions against their business interest in our country.”
Why is it that African governments are so audacious?
Most African politicians are not religious people. Despite their personal moral failures, they found it difficult to comprehend same-sex marriage and the possibility of a man sleeping with a man or a woman sleeping with a woman. Even Muslims and pagans in Africa are saying no to the LGBT ideology.
It is about the collective consciences of the Africans who cannot abide by these newly adopted Western values. African societies have so far stood their ground on this issue. That is not likely to change anytime soon.

In this category, Africa leads the world. I don’t have a problem with how people lead their lives; that’s the free will God gave us. I have a serious problem with these alphabet soup types demanding we “affirm” them and abide by their “preferences” including the language I use.
Sorry, twinkles, that’s not how life in a functional society is supposed to work.
Many African people are closer to the Lord than the deep state here.

Didn’t Obami come from Africa !!!

Lol, what a title. It’s like “Why Bob is resisting drinking the Drano his wife is trying to serve him”.
Sorry folks, but WE are the (neo) Marxists now.
We’ve taken over for the Soviets of the 1950s-1980s, spreading an anti-human, post-modern, globalist ideology in the 3rd world, under the guise of “rights” - using money, weapons, propaganda and violence.
I wanted Cardinal Arinze from Nigeria for Pope after JPII passed, for that reason.
Africans have seen their fair share of demons. Not surprising they would reject this crap.
Because Africa is still close enough to "survival mode" and understands that the Alphabet Road is not a valid survival tactic.
You need children, family, tribe and community to survive. But people in the more "developed" parts of the world have substituted "money" for all those things. And the down side of that is obvious.
It seems the LGBQ ‘community’ has turned into they types of bullies they were fighting in 1986... The fact they gave their credibility to people who want to sexually mutilate children was a tipping point. Now we see them in a different light.
What group are they going to accept next?
Rapists? Torturers?
People are uncomfortable with rapists - and I’m sure most rapists will say they were ‘born that way’... Does that gvie them an ‘in’?
Are we going to be forced to give rapists extra protection next? How about ‘job protection’? And extra promotions in the military? When the ‘gay community’ brought in people who went after our children we took a second look and didn’t like what we saw or what the ‘community’ has become. Bullies. That’s what they’ve morphed into.
Amen.
“...Most African politicians are not religious people. ...”
To the contrary, I have read that although Christians are heavily persecuted in Africa, Christianity is growing in large numbers.
The persecutors are mostly “religious” Muslims and terrorists.
God bless the Africans standing up to this abomination of evil.
Indeed.
My thoughts exactly.
Amen. God bless Africa. Stand firm on Truth!!
Would you move there? Anywhere?
The Africans I know, when I asked if they would ever go back, have all laughed hysterically in my face.
