Special report: LGBTQ+ rights under attack in Africa

Two events in Washington today tell a story about American global priorities. First, President Biden hosts a summit with African leaders to recognize what the administration calls the continent's "enormous potential and promise." The second has the President host a signing ceremony for the Respect for Marriage Act, the bipartisan bill that requires the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages across the country. In Africa, homosexuality is outlawed in many countries, like Ghana. While the President of Ghana visits the White House, a draconian new bill being debated at home would criminalize not just same-sex "conduct," but any support of LGBTQ rights. Correspondent Nima Elbagir reveals how US and western donors, who pledged to support LGBTQ+ rights, have also funded supporters of the controversial bill. Also joining today's show: LGBTQ activist Phyll Opoku-Gyimah; actor Sharon Horgan; singer/songwriter Judy Collins.
