Bit of context: in 2022, there was a military coup in Burkina Faso. The new military junta took an anti-western amd pro-russian stance leading to a lot of fanboyism from online communist in reddit.
In a very unsuprising turn, the junta moved to purge the country from western influence, now that include homosexuality which is seen as a western perversion.
/r/thedeprogram is an anti-western communist sub. They're pro-russia, pro-china, anti-USA etc..
Reading through the article, it looks like it's only just been suggested by it's Justice Minister, and still needs to pass through parliament, and would then need to be approved by Traore himself.
This post should honestly be removed. If comrades don't open the comments, they will believe this misinformation like the rest of libs across Reddit.
It still unfortunately has a large Christian presence and I'm betting American Evangelicals have gained some ground in recent years.
Burkina faso is 64% muslim and 6.2% protestants but I'm sure it's the evangelicals fault.
I'm queer, they are my comrades [..] The French came, forced homophobia into every facet of their society, stopped them from socially progressing so they could take their materials, and now you're surprised they're homophobic?
I'll continue to critically support those who are resisting imperialism and trying to make a better life for the proletariat, even if they aren't perfect.
Anti-western online leftists continue to support people who would kill them or throw them in jail 
Burkina Faso has been held back by the imperial core for decades and decades, they have been held back materially and socially, so they have not progressed to that point socially, yet.
Without question, criminalizing people based on their sexual orientation is unacceptable. That is absolutely a given.
But [leftie wall of text]
Basically the whole thread is cope 
, a lot of posters straight up say the mods should supress this information because it's liberal propaganda

I've read a book in my middle school about a guy in Taiwan went to Burkina Faso for a few years to do charity works (this was back then they recognized Taiwan instead of PRC). His experience was largely positive because he was actually seeing progress happening on the ground. I wonder what he would feel about the place now.

"partner" has an agenda to get people to use it so that people can't be homophobic when men are talking about their husbands, which doesn't really work because any place where straight people are talking about their partners is not actually homophobic and homophobes will just call those people cute twinks anyway, very strange term
"comrade" is instead used so people can believe they are heroes of the vanguard of the revolution and not people defending criminalization of homosexuality in burkina faso, it's political-larp heckin doggospeak

Correct, the reason why all over Western Europe bussyphilia was decriminalized, was because of the French occupation under Napoleon applying their common French law. Bongland was never under Napoleon's rule so they still had anti gay laws in the 60's

Of course. Whoever can't see this coming needs a reality check.
Then we have this from the commies:
Fricking heck.
I have had the displeasure hearing it from the Chinese commies before, of them swearing up and down that homos are totally cool in the olden days (people don't call them strags, and no recorded instances of them being executed for liking men), and people only started hating it because of the Western value. Then they had the gall to turn around and seethe at everything they deemed "LGBT."
They don't stand for whatever principle they claim to have, they are just like petulant children lashing out against things that are given to them.

How can the Chinese blame the west for homophobia when they were classified as a mercantile race and never colonised beyond friendship ports for trade.

These people are only ideological consistence in terms of hating the West. They blamed Christianity for teaching us hating the gays, and they also blamed the Chinese intellectual falling over themselves in adopting the decadent Western lifestyle for instilling the Western ideals (including loving money and s*x, while hating gays) into the Chinese life.
I grew up hearing people complaining the West made the Chinese decadent and materialistic, butt hearing them blaming the West for making them hate the gays was surprising.
