Africa's Anti-LGBTQ Laws: Impact on Uganda's Economy, Ghana Wants Bill Accelerated


Uganda’s anti-LGBTQ laws, that include the death sentence in some cases, have cost the nation as much as $1.6 billion since being introduced in May last year, a new study found. Meanwhile, Ghanaians took to the streets of Accra to ask the nation’s top court to speed up implementation of an anti-LGBTQ bill. Bloomberg’s Ondiro Oganga reports….

Proudly Uganda, proudly anti …LGBT nonsense.

@niiokai9312

A whole lot of crap analysis there. We gonna collapse your agenda Bloomberg. Strange editorial policy you got there

@kgosiratone108

Tired of yol labelling every country in Africa just Africa. Most of the continent is chilled.
But your channel is rubbish anyway

@saveuganda1215

In Uganda we are fine….We don't need LGBT Aid

@charleschukwu5928

Nobody really cares!!!!!!!!!

@engulfed4372

Ugandans are not gay. They don't need your lube. Stay gay

@lu881

Recall that Uganda did this UNPROVOKED.

They decided to just attack THEIR OWN CITIZENS with a law that told them that it is ILLEGAL for them to exist, and that THE GOVERNMENT WILL KILL THEM if they dare knew if their existence.

How do you see someone born gay, and theeaten them with death just because YOU don't like it.

I'm a straight man, and the thought of gay activity disgusts me, but I have no right to stop another human being from doing that ESPECIALLY if it has ZERO EFFECT ON ME!

African leaders need to learn that countries and laws do not belong to them, but belong to every citizen that exists in that country!

@ssendawulafredrick

u should revise your facts otherwise it's all lies. Yes he Ugandan economy has not changed a bit since the law was innacted

@danskey2001

What someone do in their bedroom have to do with economics activities in a country. Shame on the west has the Arab countries economy flourished base on lgbt programs

@leonewainaina

Why do countries face sanctions and lose foreign aid when it's about LGBTQ+ rights, but when we as Africans protest corruption and fight against the misuse of our resources, no one seems to care? Aid keeps flowing in regardless. It's a real double standard. Imagine if the World Bank halted aid until corruption cases were resolved, or if leaders like Museveni were pressured to step down for free and fair elections. But no—apparently, free and fair elections aren't as important as someone's sexual identity!

@toknow541

But i dont get it, what is in it for you westerners to try and impose your nonsense onto us, I mean you could take that sh*t to saudi arabia, pakistan or anywhere else, why us?

@staywinning3645

Am ugandan and it impacted nothing and there is nothing we want with LGBTQI as Africa..We wont take on Western views and ways😂😂😂😂 The world bank and IMF are Neo-Colonial instruments of the west desgined to infridge on our Sovereignity as Africa 🤡🤡🤡..China happened!!!!

@terrakelly257

Big W for Uganda and Ghana

@SIRLEE

In Uganda, there is a saying that ‘ekyitariho tikyiriiza mwaana’ which literally means ‘what’s not there, can’t make a child cry’.

@uzuriwa.africa

Is being gay an economic activity?

@maranathaafrica

I love Uganda position on LGBTQ the west can should not dictate on Africa . Let their evil ways follow them. How can a man mount a fellow man ? This evil dirty. Let Uganda stay firm it is the peoples wishes. Uganda will survive.
Armtwosting to advance Satanic lifestyles. Keep your dollars, we shall eat matoke and survive.

@TorchAnalytica

Uganda will have to collaborate with with BRICs , Russia and china to by-pass imf , and world bank restrictions

@aaronbrown6890

The Rainbow media is horrible… go somewhere its not at you all day long… see how wonderfully peaceful you feel. Everyone should for once in their life travel and see how stupid the West is!

@MojoMachin3

I have nothing against LGBTQ folks anywhere in the world. However, it is really a slap in the face that some African countries's Anti-LGBTQ laws or homophobic attitudes are the only African topics that seem to reach the airwaves of western media consistently. Whereas the corruption, poverty, blatant abuse of power by elected officials, neo-colonialism, womens rights are never discussed as much as LGBTQ issues. Why is that?

@bosahenry9299

😂😂😂😂😂😂

@mavrolos4728

Just take money from China

@bkay7781

@Reality__1st

Morality vs. Financial Prison

@ME-qu4gi

Whenever i see any country doing shitty economically, i immediately see them find a scapegoat to blame and right now its lgbtq. These people need to get their heads out of people bedrooms and into their economy.

@jan_darysh

LGBTQ community should not have a monopoly on the rainbow flag. Rainbow flag is Sdgs flag.

@Sparta1993

I respect them for standing up! I wish America would stand for what’s right ! Much respect for the country of Uganda and its people ❤️

There's just as many LGBT in Africa as anywhere else.
