- Abstract
This article presents the position of institutions in the public space on issues relating to the rights of sexual minorities in Burkina Faso and gives the reasons for these positions in the eyes of the Ouagalais population. We first address the progress on the rights of sexual minorities in the Western world and the ongoing resistance on the African continent. Then we highlight open opposition from religious, political and traditional circles which are becoming known more and more frequently through protest marches, virulent statements in the press media and hostile publications posted in discussion forums online. Finally, we show that these positions strongly opposed to homosexuality are also expressed by young populations under 30, urbanized and with a higher level of education.
