French comedian Jarry expresses support for gay individuals in Senegal on TMC's Quotidien

French comedian Jarry voiced his support for gay individuals in Senegal during an appearance on the TMC program Quotidien. He described the situation for this community as difficult, stating that many people from Senegal contact him on social media to share their experiences. Jarry mentioned that these individuals report being forced to hide their identity and face death threats in 2026. He offered moral support, encouraging them to "resist, hide yourselves," and acknowledged uncertainty about how to help them, but assured them of strong thoughts. His statement comes amidst a reportedly tense context in Senegal regarding these issues, following the promulgation of a law on March 31, under President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, that stiffens penalties related to homosexuality.
