LGBTQ News and Stories — Daily Africa Global News

Looking for clear, fair coverage of LGBTQ issues across Africa? You’ve found the tag focused on rights, culture, health, and community voices. We publish timely reports and first-person stories that explain what’s changing and why it matters where you live.

What we cover

Legal changes and court rulings that affect LGBTQ lives, explained in plain language so you can see the real impact. Local Pride events, vigils, and community gatherings — short previews and follow-ups that tell you who’s organizing and what to expect. Personal profiles and interviews with activists, artists, and everyday people sharing how policy and society shape their lives. Health and wellbeing stories that cover access to care, mental health support, and public-health policy. Culture pieces on film, music, and sports where queer voices are visible or hidden.

We aim to report facts, name the people and groups involved, and link to sources so you can check details. When covering sensitive subjects, we balance public interest with respect for privacy. That means we avoid outing individuals and we note when a source asked to remain anonymous.

Reading news about LGBTQ issues can be heavy. Look for pieces tagged with "resources" or "support" for practical help lines, legal aid contacts, and counseling services. If a piece raises urgent safety concerns, we include local hotlines or international helplines when available.

We aim to be a reliable place for queer news in Africa and for readers worldwide who care about the continent. You’ll find straight facts, local context, and voices you might not hear elsewhere. If there’s a topic you want covered, drop us a note — we follow reader leads when possible.
