Homosexualité : Un ministre luxembourgeois charge le projet de loi de Sonko
The bill announced by Ousmane Sonko on homosexuality is generating reactions beyond our borders. In Luxembourg, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was formerly Prime Minister of the country, expressed concern about the Senegalese Prime Minister's proposed legislation.
“Learning that next week Senegal intends to legislate homosexuality or bisexuality as punishable acts on par with bestiality or necrophilia is deeply concerning,” he stated. He believes this demonstrates that many fail to understand that same-sex attraction is not a choice, but a fact of nature. “However, rejecting it is a choice,” he added.
Indeed, this is not the first time Mr. Bettel has attacked Senegal's stance on homosexuality. In 2024, during the United Nations General Assembly, he also questioned President Diomaye Faye on the issue. However, the latter's response was very clear.
“This week I had a meeting with an African head of state with whom I wanted to work. And I spoke to him about three conditions. And this head of state replied to me, regarding sexual minorities, that if his population considered homosexuality a crime, he would criminalize it. Being a head of state is not always about doing what the majority wants, but it is also about defending minorities in a country,” he said.
