Legal just means they won't arrest/execute you for being in a same sex relationship. Same sex marriage means they state will officially recognize you as married.
There's also significant input from American Evangelicals contributing to these laws. For instance, Scott Lively an evangelical anti-gay activist, helped push for Uganda to penalize same-sex relationships with the death penalty. And Islam only makes up 13.7% of Uganda.

I'm honestly very surprised there's as much green as there is.

Legal means that same-sex relationships are legal, but not marriage. Same-sex marriage means that the state recognises same-sex marriages.

Busy touching it's forehead to the ground five times a day instead of progressing it's culture or human's rights in any way.

Shoutout to an Islamic culture that used to be much more advanced than medieval Europe.

You might be confounding effect and cause. Usually material decline follows value corruption.

I'm surprised in South Africa it's not only legal, but government recognized.
