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).
