Well it was nice to feel like there was some growing light in the world for a little while there
God fucking damnit
you do hate to see it :(
This is the 5th time they have ban homosexuality, still tho it really sucks
Maybe this is the ban that will people will stop being gay forever. You never know until you try it for the 6th time
oh for fuck's sake. had such a good going too.
I will probably never see any acceptance of queers around the imperial periphery
I see it as 2 steps forward one step back. This is where the critical on critical support comes in. Still disappointing for the people of Burkina Faso.
:yea:

While it looked innovative, it was not the first time such a press conference was creatively planned to spark panic and parade out a person claiming to be ex-gay. It was also not peculiar to Uganda; it is a method that was and continues to be used in both puritanical and evangelical Christianity in countries from Ghana to Kenya and Nigeria.
Bolding mine. While I realize Islam is predominant in Burkina Faso, I'm wondering if these types of campaigns aren't influential.
