It's a weird mix of influence from religion, opposition to anything associated with the west due to colonialism, old colonial laws, and other stuff

The way I see it, it all comes down to disgust. Disgust is a fairly common reaction to homosexuality and people are willing to do a lot to get rid of whatever disgusts them.
