UK-based Justice for Gay Africans campaign group co-ordinator, Godwyns Onwuchekwa, told the BBC that with US Christian evangelical groups increasingly active in Africa, hostility toward gay people has worsened on the continent.
"The evangelical lobby is very powerful and we know that they lobbied Uganda's parliament in 2009 to introduce anti-gay legislation," he said, referring to a private member's bill - which was shelved after a local and international outcry - which called for the death penalty to be imposed for some homosexual acts.
"I won't be surprised if they are also involved in Nigeria, where the Anglican Archbishop [Peter Akinola] has the support of US churches opposed to the ordination of gay bishops."
The Nigerian Senate - dominated by conservative Christian and Muslim MPs - last week approved a bill to further criminalise homosexuality, using Mr Cameron's threat to cut aid to rally public support and to accuse the UK - the former colonial power - of interfering.
"The only thing that unites Christians and Muslims in Nigeria [where thousands of people have been killed in sectarian conflict] is the oppression of gay people," Mr Onwuchekwa said.
Mrs Clinton's emphasis on gay rights is directed at a liberal domestic constituency ahead of elections next year, and is also intended to counter the growing influence of right-wing evangelical groups in Africa - some of whom have also opposed the use of condoms on a continent with high rates of HIV/Aids.
“It does not mean that aid is going to be stripped... but it certainly means that the US government is going to promote programmes and promote organisations that are trying to improve the lives of LGBT people”
But Mr Onwuchekwa believes that President Barack Obama's government has little moral authority to promote gay rights in Africa.
"In the US, gay marriages are not recognised in some states. So how does it expect other countries to listen to it?" he said.
Hierdie is maar slegs een enkele voorbeeld, van hoe die Weste, Afrika oorstroom met sy valse booshede.
Alles wat sleg en boos is aan hierdie kontinent kom direk uit die skoot van die witman uit, dis regtig jammer, maar ons as ware Afrikane sal moet opstaan en veg ... daar is nie plek vir mal idees in Afrika nie ... julle beter uit!
