Burkina Faso's military junta has banned homosexuality three years after overthrowing the nation's former government. The 71 unelected members of the junta parliament approved the law Monday, which now awaits the signature of President Ibrahim Traoré, a former army captain who seized power after two coups in 2022. The specifics of the ban have not been revealed — whether it applies to same-sex sexual relations or any LGBTQ+ identity broadly. “The law provides for a prison sentence rangin...| Advocate.com
