International LGBT activists are targeting NGOs and countries, including the U.S., insisting they forbid so-called “conversion therapy” in international development.

“USAID does not fund or promote anti-LGBTQI+ conversion therapy,” said Anthony Kujawa, a spokesperson for the U.S. embassy in Kampala Uganda, in response to openDemocracy’s claims that USAID and other major donors are funding such programs in Africa.

Despite its denial, USAID pledged to investigate funding streams and to take action in response to openDemocracy’s allegations.
