Africa’s LGBTQ+ communities still live under exported colonial laws rooted in Victorian morality. In Tanzania and across the Commonwealth, these foreign laws criminalize same-sex intimacy yet are defended as “African values.” why do colonial punishments still pass as African truths?

From law to morality: this week we explore the religious tools that upheld colonial criminalisation in Tanzania. Understand the past to reclaim dignity today.

The Truth Behind the Laws: Reclaiming Our Identity and Decolonizing Our Future They tell us we are a "Western invention." They tell us that being LGBTQ+ is "un-African" and that the harsh laws we face are a shield protecting Tanzanian culture.

Being LGBTQ+ is NOT a "Western import"—but the laws used to criminalize us are. 🇹🇿

We're unmasking the colonial history of Tanzania's laws and sharing how we fight for our LGBTQ+ community’s survival and dignity today.
