Supporters of the gay hate day say they have organised the event to protect ‘traditional values’, but Alice N’Kom from the LGBT advocacy group AllOut have said in a statement “We want to tell them that hate and homophobia are not African values.”
She goes on to say: “We are bringing together people from across the continent to tell our country that pro-equality voices in Africa are strong.”
Yves Yomb, who works for another Cameroonian gay rights group Alternatives-Cameroun, added: “This anti-gay movement is misinforming Cameroonians. A poster announcing the ‘Gay Hate Day’ claims that hemorrhoids, incontinence and various infections are consequences of homosexuality.”
