Lawmakers in the country's unelected parliament have approved fines and prison sentences for persons convicted. Homosexuality is illegal in around 30 African countries, but not until now in Burkina Faso, whose military seized power three years ago.
Every of these organizations should be banned from Europe, with their leaders and members monitored afterwards like potential terrorists, or European democracies will fall in favor of Seven Mountain Dominion flavored christian fascism.
