i agree with that, it could be a unifier for the majority of people (not saying this with any comment or assumptions about the people of burkina faso) but even still there will be large amounts of people who are hurt in the periphery, many people who may even currently support the criminalization of homosexuality. kinda how a lot of people in the US support ICE but then their sister’s husband gets disappeared and suddenly they’re not so happy about it anymore. with laws targeting queerness you tend to get a lot of that
