In Cameroon, LGBTI people are only too aware that they live in a society saturated with homophobic rhetoric and violent attacks targeting them. In recent weeks, that homophobic fervor has intensified in a torrent of online videos of a homophobic song calling for the death of LGBTI people. It’s known as “Poign@rdez les PD“ — in English translation “Stab the Fxxxxts.” PD is short for “Pede” or “Pedophile”, which homophobic Cameroonians consider a synonym for “homosexuaL”. If you really want to hear the song and see it performed, you can link hereherehere, or here. It’s also know by the title “Les nerfs des boys” (Boys’ nerves). The musician Snoopy la Mélodie performs it here in an “official audio” version on YouTube.
