The cultural values in Africa can't accept homosexuality.
Homosexuality is seen as an abominable act in Africa. However, this social vice, which is less popular on the continent, is now becoming famous in many African countries, turning the countries into an unnerving place to live in, because church leaders and many organizations against this practice wouldn't like to embrace this type of culture to add to their own culture.
At times, I do ask myself time and time again, do Europeans think Africa will accept whatever they are interested in? Africa had nothing to do with Christianity before the white missionaries ever went there.
They thought Africans to follow the Bible teachings. Well, later the truth was discovered. The reason was not to let Africans know about Christ but to loot.

Fortunately, many parts of Africa derived interest in the Bible and studied it thoroughly, therefore living by its teachings. An African Christian explaining his point to defend his hate against homosexuality would take one deep step into the Bible to give you a reference.
Two of such scriptures confirming that homosexuality is an evil act can be read in 1st Timothy, chapter 10, and 1st Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 9.

The question is, "Why are Europeans and other Gay Rights Organizations now fighting for the practice of homosexuality to be recognized in Africa when they have already been there with the Holy Bible, a book telling Christians how evil the practice of homosexuality is?"
The teachings of the Holy Bible can't be reversed, so I am afraid to say that Africa can never change its mind or opinion on the negative aspects of homosexuality.

Africa is already overwhelmed by many diseases, such as AIDS, Ebola, and malaria; therefore, it makes sense that they don't want that practice. Europeans, Americans, and some organizations are the first people whose voices are heard whenever there is a bad situation in Africa. But whenever there is an epidemic, the response to contain the situation never comes or comes very slowly.
Africa has learned a lot from their misfortunes, which is the reason it is fighting against homosexuality today. Unfortunately, the path Uganda has taken to deal with this issue is totally out of course, and the death penalty for homosexuals is sheer madness. Violence against homosexuals is not an option or a solution.
