uganda vs homosexuality

before i go any further i must say,anyone who brings a bible, quaran or emindi (tobacco pipe used by witch doctors )  to a civic debate has a few screws loose

with that said, how bad is homosexuality ?

since homosexuality is not harmful to gay men and women, or to any gawking bystander¹, what reason can one give for outlawing it? why should what two consenting adults do in their bedroom bother the state?

can uganda actually fight homosexuality ? 

the funny thing about gay bashing is, if we keep it up, we might actually move towards our economic independence but we do it stealthily because we don't want to annoy the donors

for a country that isn't economically independent, despite fifty years of thinking otherwise, outlawing things like homosexuality which donor countries consider a human right is not about to happen

okay there is a law which claims anyone found guilty of homosexuality is subject to a jail term of 14 years, but i have never heard of any one being sentenced, may be the law fears the donors won't take this lightly or there might be concerns that the"culprits" are likely to enjoy prison a little too much 

but by the time an issue like homosexuality gets a platform in parliament and in the media like it is getting now, count this as the beginning of the end of injustice against gays. it happened with the women's rights movement in the 1848 in new york, the blacks in south africa in 1912 and a lot more oppressed groups which finally overcame injustice
it doesn't start with the oppressed group getting their rights on day one, but it ends with the oppressers apologizing for being narrow minded

  

should the existence of homosexuality in africa be blamed on the west?

everyone says homosexuality isn’t african like africa was ever a heterosexist utopia

the egyptian pharaoh akhenaten and his lover smenkhkare were the first historically documented male couple in history

the dagara people in pre-colonial burkina faso regarded lesbians as astrologers and traditional healers and gay men where seen as gate keepers who came from the other world, and their role was to keep the gates to the otherworld

in pre-colonial Benin, homosexuality was viewed as a boyhood phase that males passed through and eventually grew out of

in pre-colonial angola, homosexual men called chibados had been free to exercise their sexuality

one study on homosexuality in africa indicates that of 78 cultures, with little contact with western values, 49 approved of or at least tolerated homosexuality

the constitutions which outlawed homosexuality were drafted with the help of our colonial masters

this indicates that homophobia, not homosexuality, is a western colonial import

in conclusion,

we all have a right to be narrow minded, which not everyone exercises, but in case you insist on exercising this right, i suggest you begin by boycotting everything affiliated with gay people like apple, facebook, google (the internet), foreign aid, the fancy clothes you wear,the catholic church( take your time doing this, it hasn’t come out of the closet yet ) and oxygen ( the gays have probably contaminated it too).
