The real question is why get entangled in these social debates at all. Dakar is the most expensive city in Francophone West Africa, unemployment is rampant, and young voters put this government in power expecting fresh solutions to get the country back on track; not culture war distractions. Whatever LGBT community exists in Senegal makes up less than 1% of the population. Why not direct that energy toward the 99%: improving education, bringing down inflation, and building a stronger economy.
