For a country that looks like it is literally getting fucked by Gambia, they shouldn't be bothering gays 🙄

Very sad. It's odd, I've often wondered why some Muslim and Christian nations have never banned homosexual sex and others do.  I looked it up a few days ago and sure enough it was the fucking Europeans. The response I got said while sodomy was banned in the Muslim religion homosexuality wasn't. But as Europeans began colonizing the world they brought their laws. So while homosexuality has never been illegal in Turkey, the British banned it in India during their rule there. It was banned in progressive Canada until 1969 with the law enthusiastically enforced in some cities and by the RCMP. In the 60s a Canadian man on getting a second conviction was sentenced to an "indefinite" period in prison which could have meant life. That spurred efforts to get the ban lifted. The Calgary police continued to harass gays well into the 90s. And the Vancouver police would label gay hate crimes as something else like road rage. In recent years they refused to charge two rednecks with assaulting a gay guy downtown despite lots of witness evidence. The victiim called his local member of the BC legislature who called the mayor who called the police chief. The police said it was all a misunderstanding, the officers were planning to turn it over to the hate crimes unit. The rednecks pled guilty and had to do some community service I think. It's disappointing that can still happen in one of the most an progressive neightbourhoods in one of the most progressive cities in Canada.

The british. Not the europeans. Sénégal was a French colony and even after the indépendance it was a tolerant country. But Islam and anti-occidental movements have killed this tolerance. The goor jegeen (man woman in Wolof) was the figure of this tolerance.

I'm sure it's easy to blame the English but other former European colonies had similar restrictions. 

These type of laws are rarely enforced as they require actual proof along with the police/judiciary being simply not interested. 

Many of these former colonies either left old laws in place (they could easily repeal) or simply use vague public order laws to the same effect.

And I imagine the public sex is at least partially because most of them have nowhere else they could go.
