A proposed law in this country would require citizens to report LGBTQ people to authorities {Ghana}

When Lariba was growing up in James Town — a coastal neighborhood in Accra, Ghana — they never felt criticized for living the life they wanted to live, they said, even as an LGBTQ person.

...

Introduced in 2021, this bill not only criminalizes LGBTQ relationships, but also those who support LGBTQ rights, with the possibility of being extended to journalists for what the bill calls “promoting” these issues, too. It also gives citizens a “duty to report,” encouraging people to report suspected LGBTQ people to the police or other authorities — a condition that has been particularly concerning for many people in the country. Though the bill has been in parliament for two years, it is now in its final stages, having just gone through a second reading in July. Unless the president moves to veto the bill when it crosses his desk, many are certain the bill will soon become law.

...

So when Western leaders like Vice President Kamala Harris in 2023 or, before her, then President Barack Obama in 2015, lecture African nations about their stances on LGBTQ rights, it is often paraded as an example of neocolonialism — the West trying to impose their culture on Africa.

“We want the West to know that there is no way we are going to accept LGBTQIA+. We support all African countries, including Uganda, who are enacting laws against these activities,” said Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, a traditional ruler in Ghana and also a High Court judge whose opinion holds massive political sway, back in April.

Seriously excerpted because CNN, but worth reading the whole thing. Yes it's slanted, but it tells you what the various Africans are saying.

But I thought the Left believes all cultures are equal...

[beethovenfan]

Here we require anti-LBGTQ people to be reported.

Seems to never had occurred to the Globalists (Ukraine War supporters) that, perhaps, not every country in the world shares their view of the ‘gay community’ and the harder they ‘push’, the more pushback they will get, particularly in countries where psychos are not in charge.

I could care less unless they wave it in my face

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Whereas here LGBTQ people self-report, because it pays to advertise.

They are equal until a favored culture is thrown off a tall building by another favored culture.

“....they never felt criticized for living the life they wanted to live, they said, even as an LGBTQ person.”

“They” Is CNN speaking fag language here? It’s sure not proper English.

No . . . it occurred to them, and now they will punish those who won't capitulate.

“No . . . it occurred to them, and now they will punish those who won’t capitulate.”

Correction, they will TRY to punish them. But as we’re now seeing in Niger, the game is up for the Globalists, at least in Africa (and Ukraine too, once Russia gets tired of playing footsie with them).

I could care less unless they wave it in my face

They are waving it in all our faces. It is in all of the businesses during June and beyond. The parades scare the horses. Books that are unfit reading in school board meetings are available to 2nd Graders, and sometimes taught in the classrooms. Just like all the PG movies in the early 70s HAD to have a bedroom scene, all the new movies have to have a hero is or at least likeable pervert displaying his problem explicitly on screen in almost all new Hollywod movies and most major TV shows.

It is in our faces, and it is in our children's faces. And Bob Hope was right to get out of California before they made it mandatory.

[Dr. Sivana]

Correction, they will TRY to punish them.

Oh, just because they are strong and stand up to the punishment, it is still a punishment. These will lose money, be cut off from commerce, be subject to the intrigues of mid-levels operatives who are either against the policy, or can be bought (or both). More color revolutions when practical.

So yes, they are punished.

[algore]

“They are waving it in all our faces.”

exactly my point

[BobL]

“So yes, they are punished.”

But the ‘death penalty’, meaning removal from office by the Globalists, no longer seems possible in Africa - so some punishment, but less.

[Mr. K]

phrasing!
