It's our fault things like this are still happening so I guess to answer your question, yes, we should all be speaking up about it way more!

That's like forgiving a rapist because his victim was wearing a short skirt.


It's not anyone's fault but the nations themselves, they've had more than enough time to sort out their homophobia.

I don't really know what to say to you. Go and tell them that then.

No the gay people are who are being victimised.

It's a bit infantilising to act like those nations are incapable of sorting themselves out because they were once colonies

Nobody said they're incapable of anything. Do you watch the news? Did you study history?

It's kind of like asking why certain parts of Africa have no running water and are starving to death. It's ignorant.

So you haven't studied history. Explains a lot.
