- : Homosexual behaviour is not mentioned as a criminal offence in the penal code. The age of consent is equal. -
(2006, Responses to the South African decision to legalise same-sex
marriages): In Congo Brazzaville, authorities were caught by surprise
when recently asked about the liberalisation process in South Africa.
The Brazzaville government could not come up with another answer than
saying "homosexuality does not exist in Congo." The press has so far
not tried to prove government wrong.
(2011, ):
Dans tous les quartiers populeux de Brazzaville, de Pointe-Noire, de
Dolisie et de la plupart des villes du Congo, il n’est plus rare
de rencontrer des homosexuels qui, sans gêne et sans peur, se
livrent à tout : embrassades, baisers, gestes intimes, etc.
L’homosexualité a atteint ces dernières années des
proportions inestimables dans notre pays au point de bousculer et de
mettre en péril nos us et coutumes séculaires.

CONGO
(The Democratic Republic of the Congo)
- :
Homosexual behaviour is not mentioned as a criminal offence in the
penal code, thus gay sexual activity is de facto legal. However,
articles 168-170 and 172 of the Penal Code punish "crimes against
family life". These articles are used to punish homosexuals. A prison
sentence for those punished under these articles can be from 5 to 20
years. -
(2008): The Bishops of the Anglican Province of Congo Kinshasa (DRC)
have issued a statement, strongly condemning homosexuality and warning
Congolese Church members from supporting gay and pro-gay networks.
Kinshasa Archbishop Dirokpa Balufuga Fidele, presiding over the
Anglican Province of Congo, has signed a strong statement, issued by
the Bishops of his Province, that goes further than his African
colleagues in condemning homosexuality.
(2009): According to Oxfam, Human Rights Watch, United Nations
officials and several Congolese aid organizations, the number of men
who have been raped has risen sharply in recent months, a consequence
of joint Congo-Rwanda military operations against rebels that have
uncapped an appalling level of violence against civilians. Aid workers
struggle to explain the sudden spike in male rape cases. The best
answer, they say, is that the sexual violence against men is yet
another way for armed groups to humiliate and demoralize Congolese
communities into submission.. - (2009). - (2010). - (2010). - (2010):
A Democratic Republic of Congo bishop and lawmaker said Monday he had
put forward a bill that would make homosexuality a punishable offence,
as being gay was an "abomination". "We would like the law to punish
homosexuality, bestiality and necrophilia. Morally, homosexuality is a
deviation, and spiritually, it is an abomination," Ejiba Yamapiale told
AFP. - (2010, ). - (2011). - (2011).
(2009, )...
L'homosexualité reste encore très mal acceptée
dans la majorité des pays du continent. La République
Démocratique du Congo n'échappe pas à cette
règle. Dans cet immense État d'Afrique centrale
dominé par la culture bantoue les réactions sont toutes
très négatives quoique assez variées. Absence de
virilité pour les hommes, sorcellerie et mauvais esprits,
passage obligé pour s'enrichir ou avoir le pouvoir, tous les
stéréotypes y passent. Pour d'autres,
l'homosexualité est un phénomène importé de
l'Occident, introduit durant la colonisation. Par la suite, la
modernité et le développement des médias avec son
corolaire d'images prônant l'homosexualité aurait
continué à "corrompre" les mentalités sur le
continent noir. - " (2010).
