I'm sorry to say, but shyt like this is exactly why African nations can't have a presence on the world stage.
Regardless of anyone's reservations about being gay, every other respectable place to live on the planet has moved on and gotten with the times on this one.
But of course black folks would always rather hold on to failed and archaic traditions then consider new, and progressive ideas that may challenge past views and upbringing.
No different than how we're the number one "beat your kids" traditionalists when it comes on to parenting where all other people have moved on from the 19th century and figured out better ways to raise kids, which we mock. We the only ones that want to emulate our grandparents and be archaic and ignorant out of some sense of moral superiority, and then act confused that we are producing the most troubled kids, prone to anger, always getting caught up in senseless and trivial crimes.
Regardless of your reservations, being gay or lesbian is a civil and human right that should be protected by governments. Period. Anything else is backwards thinking that will never be respected by the rest of the world. Who wants to live somewhere where basic human rights are NOT protected? We got to do better on the world stage and progress as a society.
It's sad to say that if most African leaders had their way and were given the opportunity to run an economically powerful nation, they would prefer a religious zealot ideologue dictator like most failed nations, rather than a free, prosperous, and respectable democracy. We can't aspire to be on the world stage if we refuse to let go of failed and archaic views of society and at least be a nation that protects basic human rights. Point blank.
Africans have a way with words and phrases that always cracks me the fukk up!
