The situation is just so appalling in Africa, i fled Congo and went to South Africa to seek refuge, i ended up being beaten up even by police officers in South Africa because i am gay, i don’t even know what we can do to change things in Africa and stop the violence against LGBT people, we’re still thinking about what is the best approach here are some links and pictures about what happened :
