Homosexuality as a lifestyle is something that is scorned at in Africa and those who choose to live such a lifestyle do so at their own peril. For most Africans homosexuality is something foreign and taboo and in fact it is illegal in at least 37 countries Africa.

In Uganda lawmakers are considering a bill that would sentence homosexuals to life in prison and include capital punishment for “repeat offenders.” In contrast South Africa in 2006 was the sixth country in the world and the first in Africa to legalize gay marriage.

Making something legal does not however make people in a society accept something they consider wrong and have little understanding of. An article in the Washington Times suggests that a wave of intense anti-gay actions is washing across Africa.

London based gay activist Peter Tatchell, whose organization tracks abuse against gays and lesbians in Africa states that “Across many parts of Africa, we’ve seen a rise in [anti-gay] violence,”. According to him the violence has “been steadily building for the last 10 years, but has got markedly worse in the last year.”
