How the U.S.
Christian Right Is Transforming Sexual Politics in Africa
U.S.
Christian Right leaders made headlines when international
pressure forced them to retract support for Uganda's
notorious Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009.
A new
Political Research Associates report, Colonizing African
Values: How the U.S. Christian Right is Transforming Sexual
Politics in Africa, reveals that American conservative
groups are in fact continuing to build organizational
strength and promote homophobia and anti-abortion politics
in African countries.
Resisting the Rainbow
Right-Wing Responses to LGBT Gains
On
the heels of President Barack Obama’s public statement
favoring marriage equality, a new Political Research
Associates report warns that homophobia remains one of the
most successful right-wing tools for mobilizing support.
“Whenever
a seemingly progressive victory occurs, we need to keep an
eye out on the opposition,” commented Pam Chamberlain, the
report’s compiler.
