DAKAR, July 11 (Reuters) - The U.N. and the Dutch foreign ministry said on Friday they had cancelled an LGBTQ-themed event in Senegal after the West African nation warned of repercussions for organisers and voiced opposition to all "promotion of the LGBTQI phenomenon".

Anti-gay laws are in place in many conservative West African countries, including Senegal, where anyone who commits an "act against nature" with someone of the same sex can be punished by up to five years in prison.

In a statement published on X, Senegal's foreign ministry on Friday said it had been informed of a film screening to be hosted by the U.N. and the Dutch embassy that would have been followed by "discussions on LGBTI issues".

The statement did not specify when the event was scheduled to occur.

"Accordingly, the government reserves the right to take any appropriate action against any organisers of such activities, and even against participants, whatever their origins, status or rank," the foreign ministry statement said.

The activities of diplomatic missions and international organizations must comply with the country's regulations, it said.

Later on Friday, Seif Magango, spokesperson for the U.N. human rights office, told Reuters the event "has been cancelled, and we continue to engage with the authorities".

The Dutch foreign ministry said in a statement that, while the Netherlands "stands for human rights and equal treatment" it had decided to cancel the event "considering various factors".

In 2022, Senegalese lawmakers rejected a bid to toughen anti-LGBTQ provisions in the penal code, saying the existing legislation was sufficiently clear.

Earlier this year, Ghana reintroduced a bill that could become one of Africa's most restrictive pieces of anti-LGBTQ legislation after an earlier attempt to enact it fell short because of legal challenges.

The fate of that legislation, which would need to be signed into law by the president, is unclear.

Good to see they're taking a page from Uganda from Pastah. Unironically, the only reason Globohomo wants faggotry in Africa is because it gets them off and makes them feel hot about themselves. Or in paraphrased in Pastah's words, "Homosexuals are the new upper class".

Le based Black man hurr. But have these restrictions on the gay in those countries dropped the AIDS transmission rate at all?

Africans love fucking (especially underaged), but apparently not sodomy. I wonder why that is.

You'd get large scale riots before the first float is even put in place.

They wouldn't mind, though. They only care that the law is already on paper so they can say they did something and justify their existence because even boomers like to say that this or that shithole is good because they allow sodomy unlike those dirty Palestinians.

The only result is what happened in India that we saw in another thread. Doesn't matter how much they invest to empower women to be independent, one of them got murdered by her father for having a job, which he saw as humiliating as the family kept bullying for it. Like, how dare you to make your women work? The police came to arrest him, because it was illegal, but he and the family just shrugged because they "knew" they did nothing wrong.

This situation is in fact good for the UN because it allows them to ask for more money for their women programs (or LGBT in this case), so more idiots who graduated as gender majors or whatever can get a job that all of us are paying with our taxes. Even when gays will still be stoned or hanged in remote areas, they are satisfied with knowing that the government ain't doing the killing under threat of not receiving donations or whatever. Gays and women will still be unofficially targeted and the activists still get paid.

It's funny how this is all it takes in country like Senegal: A firm but polite reminder that that sort of shit is not tolerated. And they immediately back the fuck down. Almost like they know there would be actual consequences, as opposed to a few outraged letters and Twitter posts, if they tried to go through with it.

If only we could replicate that kind of power and taking-the-law-seriously here.
