American groups have helped to establish a global web that shares ideas and funding in a bid to restrict gay and trans rights. When the US evangelical preacher and anti-LGBTQ+ crusader Scott Lively landed in Uganda in 2009 to warn of the “gay agenda”, he was arriving after a series of culture-war defeats at home. Five years later, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed a law that made same-sex relationships punishable by death. Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and other nations have introduced anti-LGBTQ+ bills that impose harsher punishments with the assistance of US groups. US groups backing these other efforts are the American Center for Law and Justice and European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), both run by Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, Jay Sekulow.
