Go to Africa or Middle East and see how they treat gays.

Those are two separate points. My bad, could've said it better.

Yeah - a good many of the former European colonies in Africa do have criminal laws against homosexuality that were introduced during European colonisation - this is very true.

Uganda's easily one of the more extreme in that regard, with quite the history of British origin anti-gay laws and more recent substantial support from US homophobic Christian lobbies.

It's a time capsule of European origin values. Other countries in Africa are less extreme.

Worth noting that one can go to Europe and see how they treat gays, eg:

Many decades of independence, and they're still blaming all their problems on colonialism. Prime example of learned helplessness. It's not even funny at this point.

You're not even trying to build a logical argument and you know it.
