Anti-LGBTQ laws are rising in African nations, fueled by colonial legacy and resistance to Western influence.
As of mid-2025, anti-LGBTQ laws are rising in several African nations, driven by leaders who frame them as defenses of national sovereignty, culture, and morality.
Many of these laws stem from British colonial-era legislation, yet Western nations have not acknowledged their historical role in imposing foreign moral codes, fueling perceptions of hypocrisy.
This has led to resistance against external advocacy, with countries like Uganda and Malawi strengthening restrictions, while Mozambique and Angola cautiously move toward decriminalization without appearing to yield to foreign pressure.
The complex interplay of colonial legacy, religion, politics, and nationalism limits the effectiveness of Western efforts to promote LGBTQ rights across the continent.
