Pride Month: Why Africans H@TE 🏳️‍🌈LGBTQ/Gay/Homosexuality But will Embrace Them

Pride Month : Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights in Africa are generally poor in comparison to the Americas, Western Europe and Oceania.
Out of the 54 states recognised by the United Nations or African Union or both, homosexuality is outlawed in 31 African countries as of May 2024. Human Rights Watch notes that another two countries, Benin and the Central African Republic, do not outlaw homosexuality, but have some laws which discriminate against homosexual individuals. Many of the laws that criminalize homosexuality are colonial-era laws. Most states which have legalised homosexuality do not have legislation specifically protecting homosexuals from discrimination in areas of life such as employment.
Homosexuality has never been criminalised in Benin, Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Djibouti, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, and Rwanda, and has been decriminalised in Angola, Botswana, Cape Verde, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, Mauritius, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, the Seychelles and South Africa. However, in 6 of these countries (Benin, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Republic of the Congo, Niger and Madagascar), the age of consent is higher for same-sex sexual relations than for opposite-sex ones.
In November 2006, South Africa became the first country in Africa and the fifth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. In May 2023, the Supreme Court of Namibia ruled foreign same-sex marriages must be recognized equally to heterosexual marriages. LGBT anti-discrimination laws exist in eight African countries: Angola, Botswana, Cape Verde, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, and South Africa.
In some of the countries with criminal punishments for homosexuality, governments have recently been enforcing the law more harshly, and many legislators have recently proposed stricter sentences for same-sex activity. which allows the death sentence for certain types of consensual same-sex activities, has attracted international attention.
Since 2011, some developed countries have been considering or implementing laws that limit or prohibit general budget support to countries that restrict the rights of LGBT people.In spite of this, many African countries have refused to consider increasing LGBT rights, and in some cases have drafted laws to increase sanctions against LGBT people.Past African leaders such as Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni claimed that LGBT behaviour was brought into the continent from other parts of the world. Nevertheless, most scholarship and research demonstrates that homosexuality has long been a part of various African cultures

    Okay, so around the 3:00 mark you start touching on a subject that I feel may be out of your depth. Africa is not only black skin people, I'm sure you know that. And then you go on to talk about "our" culture after telling us about imported religions. Is it not safe to say that since you have said "our" culture is man for woman and woman for man, is said culture at this point in time not more based off of this imported religion? Especially considering that Africans historically never persecuted same sex loving people. I know in Nigeria there are even ancient terms / names given to such people. Food for thought. I welcome any correction if I misunderstood you.

    Another thing is you keep saying "in Africa, in Africa". Perhaps you should refrain from that and speak about your own experiences and not blanket them over the continent. We all know hugs and saying I love you are common between African men. And so is nakedness. If you go to rural African places that are typically untouched and void of westernisarion, you see men like tribal Ethiopians and Kenyans, (think it's called himba tribe) fully naked and play and sleep together without issue. So it not being your experience does not make it an all of Africa experience. As big as this continent is, we cannot have the same cultures and experiences. The sad truth is that your issues with being affectionate towards or being touched by other other men are a direct result of you living in this modern society that is very westernised and taught us what we now believe. Strangely, they in the west now practice most of what we used to and left their values with us.

    "In Africa" because i know exactly what I'm talking about how we were brought up. We had zero idea about Homosexuality and it wasn't even a conversation this social media and other technology shoving it down our throats.

    @@KamaSlyTV social media shoving homosexuality down your throat? You mean like heterosexuality had been shoved down our throats all the decades before? Good to know you're finally experiencing how it feels so you know how the homosexual felt when they turned on the TV before 2015. I support Equal representation.

    I think you have missed the point of where he’s coming from as he’s merely stating various facts about our culture. This is a subject that should be talked about because at the end of the day we are not children. If someone wants to be gay it is his or her prerogative and has nothing to do with me and I don’t take it on either because it’s not my business and does not concern me. Whether we agree with homosexuality or not it does exist in our cultures and it is something we should deal with maturely without freaking out about it which is ridiculous. At the end of the day I think people should be true to themselves and be honest with the partners they are dating because I would rather be in a relationship with a woman who loves me genuinely and completely than to be with someone who is pretending and wasting my time and messing up my life in this process/charade etc. Stopping people from being themselves is only forcing them to stay in the closet where they will do all kinds of things to hide their sexuality as I have explained above so let them date who they want and be happy within reason of course.

    @@winstynglyn6893 "if someone wants to be straight it's his her her prerogative". Does that statement make sense? No because sexual orientation is not a choice. Nobody wakes up and decides they want to be straight. You just are attracted to what you are attracted to. Nobody chooses their sexual orientation. Let's get that straight, no pun intended. You say it's non of your business but the problem is too many people are not like you and make it their business to the point where lgbtq people get harmed and suffer a lot of emotional damage and degrading and even death and that's where the problem is. In Nigerian communities so-called religious police go on a witchunt trying to catch two men in the privacy of their own home. What do you call that? Other men go onto dating apps to lure gay men and trap them and strip them naked and solicit money from them and post their nakedness to their WhatsApp groups as punishment. What do you call that? A Ugandan preacher shows gay porn to the congregants of his church in a bid to turn the community against lgbt persons. So let's not pretend civilised people like you are in the majority when most of African is largely homophobic thanks to decades of religious hatespeech taught by the colonisers. I second you on your point of homosexuality being part of our culture as any person willing to research can find that out. Culture is also dynamic and changes. Our culture now includes going to the mall and watching Netflix, not so? So the "not our culture" comments are made by ignorant people who don't understand the meaning of culture. Also, Homosexuality is not for anyone to agree with just as heterosexuality is not for anyone to agree with. It just is what it is. You cannot agree or disagree with a dog being a dog because it is a dog. Do what you may, that dog will not change from being a dog. You're absolutely right about people not freaking out about it but too much damage has been done as even the man in this video clearly demonstrated that the topic is not only out of his depth but he has no understanding and no sympathy based on his later responses to my comments. My comment had to do with the fact that he was generalising by saying "in Africa" we don't do a b c and yet he meant in his respective country or community. A lot of African men hug and kiss each other and share a bed and bath together in the river all the time even today and his generalisations of African men was what I was correcting. Thanks for your response.
