Arrests for gay sex conduct have been on the rise but no prosecutions have been recorded for same-sex activities in southern Africa. Arrested LGBT activists are being acquitted of same-sex conduct charges for lack of evidence. Yet discrimination, often accompanied by violence, prevails and the Zambian court case offers a frightening reminder of the fear that Africa’s minority sexual identity communities face.

I suppose u/chipet will be along shortly to tell us how we must not tell "POC" about morality.

It's no different than any other countries bigotry. No need to be self loathing.
