The Commonwealth and neo-colonialism

Apr 28, 2018 by Andrew Symes

Editor’s note: Were Western colonial imperialists and Christian missionaries responsible for introducing ‘homophobia’ into Commonwealth countries, as critics have recently claimed (see articles below)? No, in fact the opposite. Recently, a new sexual ideology from the West has been aggressively promoted in the global South, through mass media, the internet, UN sponsored campaigns and now the British government. Many Commonwealth countries have recognized and opposed this , seeing it as anti-Christian, not in line with their own priorities, and also a new form of imperialist oppression. So ‘homophobia’ was not introduced by the West, rather the new imperialist Western missionaries of the sexual revolution are now imposing culturally damaging LGBT ideology on the rest of the world.
