Pro LGBT rights decision of the african commission is from its resolution on protection against the violence and other human rights violations. The resolution addresses the right to be free from discrimination. The right to life and the right to be free from discrimination and torture. It does not afford any other protection. The african charter article 2 and 3  (non discrimination) and (equal protection of the law) protection can be broadened from discrimination in healthcare, HIV AIDS treatment to discrimination employment, housing and social services.

One major argument against the protection of LGBT rights is that homosexulaity is “un-African”. The un-African narrative claims that the differences are due to culture. In Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania the narratives have resulted in widespread hatred and unimaginable violence calling for the persecution of human rights defenders and homosexula individuals.
