Ironically enough, they are now using anti-Western sentiment to shut down LGBT rights. I remember that one Ugandan guy, Pastor Martin Sempa (sp.) infamous for the “eat the poopoo” video about 10 years ago, going on about how “Africa does not want this sickness. Is this what Barack Obama wants to bring here?” referring to LGBT rights.

Yes this sort of ironic seesaw across times and places is interesting to behold. Sort of reap what you sow kind of thing where old traumas replay themselves across boundaries between people. The positions change back and forth, but the conflict remains.
