ブルキナファソ：同性愛行為を犯罪化

　ブルキナファソは旧支配者の反同性愛法制を継承しなかった。

「Unlike in many former British colonies, it did not inherit anti-homosexuality laws after independence from France in 1960.」

　にもかかわらず―といおうか―このたび、同性愛行為を違法化する方針を明らかにした。

　西欧諸国からはえらいこと嫌われる方針だが、記事中に言及される如く、ロシアと仲良くする方針の一環なのだろう。ふつう異性愛者の方が大多数で、「変な奴」をどれだけ許容するかがまあ寛容のメルクマールになるだろう所、この際、自然な感情の赴くまま異端者排除してしまえーという方向性。気に食わない西欧にいい挑発になるしな！　…ということなんだろう、うん…。

「Burkina Faso's military junta has announced a ban on homosexual acts, making it the latest African state to crack down on same-sex relations despite strong opposition from Western powers.

Homosexuality was frowned upon in the socially conservative West African state, but it was never outlawed.

Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala said the junta's cabinet had now approved legislation to make it a punishable offence, but he did not give further details.」

　違法化どころか、刑罰を含むもののよう。…厳しめに取り締まる、だろうかねえ…。

「The military seized power in Burkina Faso in 2022, and has pivoted towards Russia after drastically reducing ties with former colonial power, France.

Homosexual acts were decriminalised in Russia in 1993, but President Vladimir Putin's government has been cracking down on the LGBTQ community, including banning what it calls "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations".」
