LGBTQ+ news and stories from across Africa

Did you know LGBTQ+ experiences vary a lot across the continent? On this tag page we collect news, voices, and practical updates about queer life in African countries — from court decisions and protests to Pride events and personal profiles.

We focus on clear, useful reporting. That means verified news on laws and court rulings, first-person accounts, features on activists and community groups, and practical info about health and safety. You’ll find quick updates alongside deeper reads that explain why a ruling, rally, or cultural moment matters for people on the ground.

What we cover

Breaking news: Legal changes, arrests, and major court outcomes that affect LGBTQ+ rights. These pieces tell you what happened and what could change next.

Voices and profiles: Personal stories from queer Africans, activists, and allies. These are often the pieces that show how laws and culture touch real lives.

Events and culture: Pride parades, film festivals, art shows and community gatherings. We include dates, locations, and what to expect so you can attend or follow online.

Health and services: Updates on HIV care, mental health support, and where to find community clinics or safe helplines. We highlight practical help rather than abstract advice.

Analysis and context: Short explainers that break down why a law matters, who benefits, and who is at risk. We avoid jargon and show the likely next steps.

How to use this page and stay safe

Scan headlines first for urgent developments. If a story affects safety or legal status in a country, we flag it clearly. For personal accounts, check the date and location—context matters fast.

If you’re seeking help, look for mentions of local groups and community clinics in our articles. Where available, we link to trusted organizations and resources. If you need anonymity, take basic steps: use private browsing, avoid sharing personal details in comments, and reach out to local support groups directly rather than posting public pleas.

We verify sources and protect identities when required. If you have a tip or a story to share, please contact us securely. We treat sensitive information seriously and can agree to anonymity when it keeps people safe.

Want quick updates? Follow this tag, sign up for alerts, or check back after major events. We’ll keep short, clear reports alongside in-depth coverage so you can stay informed without wading through noise.

Questions or story ideas? Tell us what you want to see more of—legal explainers, health guides, profiles, or local event listings—and we’ll cover it. This page is for people who live these issues, for allies, and for anyone trying to understand LGBTQ+ life in Africa today.
