Interesting. Since forever and a day homosexuality has been in Africa. We don't get to dispute this, we get to be mistaken. Most of the continent has forgotten sexuality has no borders, and treating single-gender loving (SGL) individuals with dignity is a matter of human rights, centered in ethics and morality. "Religion is fine, except when it isn't." We internalized the behavior of our colonial Arab and European masters, who bought Islam and Christianity, respectively, to bear on what heretofore was an acceptance of SGL individuals. Within various African ethnic traditions the acceptance included: recognizing SGL members have the power of "two-spirits," ying & yang, male and female, a "double-consciousness," one that was often used in counseling others, or settling disputes, for instance; some ethnicities allowed marriage/some of these unions didn't involve sex for being more concerned with strengthening economic, family and/or clan ties; in some traditions bisexuality was common, while in others it was common until marriage (many relationships endured regardless); cross-dressing was common in some societies; various cultures treated the SGL phenomenon nonchalantly/without a care, like "so what?" Though "homophobia is un-African," outsiders undermined the vibrancy of African cultures and traditions in general. We should recover our memories. Our ancestors knew what time it was/we should too. We have to do better, because we are better. With due respect.

Interesting. Some thoughts on religion, and African History & Homosexuality: JESUS had nothing to say about homosexuals and homosexuality. To say He did is "biblically-profane," a sin for which there's a mortal wage. Jesus loves homosexuals, like He does you. The misuse of religion is a cancer in Africa and helps undermine its future. And God don't like ugly. Learn to discern the CONTEXT of the biblical proscriptions related to its "men sleeping with men," and related scriptures. And one will discover they address heterosexual men exclusively, for all the right reason. DO THE WORK, folks. And this: Since forever and a day homosexuality has been in Africa. We don't get to dispute this, we get to be mistaken. Most of the continent has forgotten sexuality has no borders, and treating single-gender loving (SGL) individuals with dignity is a matter of human rights, centered in ethics and morality.

@@kevinboone2178 Thanks Kevin Appreciate you taking the time to reply. Jesus may have said nothing specific on homosexuality but affirmed marriage between one man and one women And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate. Roman 1 v 26-27 leaves no doubt as to Gods view however on Same sex relations ... that said God loves Gays and lesbians and it it not his desire to condemn but to love and invite all people to give their lives to Jesus... We can always turn to him because he always has a way thru any situation in life

No. Africa can do more than one thing at a time. Since forever and a day homosexuality has been in Africa. We don't get to dispute this, we get to be mistaken.

@@hotagohoabeb5350 The Biblical scriptures related to "men sleeping with men," and similar ones, are addressed exclusively to heterosexual males, and for all the right reasons. Inherent homosexuality is natural, was never "wrong," and God makes no mistakes. Human relationships must be centered in love and respect, absent promiscuity & adultery, hate & coercion, and pedophilia & pederasty. Otherwise, individuals, families, communities, and nations are torn asunder. Preach, teach, and model that, or die trying. The absence of love obtains sin. Sexuality doesn't confer it, behavior does.

JESUS had nothing to say about homosexuals and homosexuality, Ms. Tome. To say He did is "biblically-profane," a sin for which there's a mortal wage. Jesus loves homosexuals, like He does you. The misuse of religion is a cancer in Africa and helps undermine its future. And God don't like ugly. Learn to discern the CONTEXT of the biblical proscriptions related to its "men sleeping with men," and related scriptures. You'll discover they address heterosexual men exclusively, for all the right reasons. DO THE WORK. And this: Since forever and a day homosexuality has been in Africa.

@@chiyenyumba7135 What's your point, my good person? To me it's like saying "the man on the moon is yo' mama"/what has it to do with anything?

And according to the Bible, He has a "burnt complexion and wooly hair," which indicates He's more African than European.​

[@kevinboone2178]

CONTEXT of the Bible's homosexuality scriptures. To comprehend it, first, consider that "an ax murder isn't about the ax," and there's a "distinction with a difference" between "homosexuality and homosexual" and "heterosexual and heterosexual," each one. It's why homosexuals often have children the old-fashioned way (heterosexuality), and incarcerated heterosexuals often have sexual relations with their sex (m/f, homosexuality), for example. With CONTEXT we'd know: Why heterosexual men are their exclusive focus; why women play a tangential role; why Ancient Greek custom, and Ancient Roman law, condoned it under certain conditions; why the biblical references to "man's inhospitality to man" includes heterosexual males illicitly "knowing" men and women ("carnal knowledge"/rape); why the prophets were concerned about it; why beginning in the 12th century the Roman Catholic Church started teaching the "Sodom & Gomorrah" story was (largely) about homosexuals, which is false; why neither the term ABOMINATION, nor anything similar, is in the original Biblical documents, which were written in Classical Biblical Hebrew, Ancient Aramaic and, in its first translation, in Kione Greek. Etc. Understanding those specific scriptures requires knowing something about those languages, the problems of translation, literary devices, the history of sexuality in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece, and the Ancient Roman World (the areas in which the anthology of biblical stories take place), the biological basis of human sexuality. Etc. Misunderstanding CONTEXT subverts the truth. And you already know there's a mortal wage to be paid for putting words in God's mouth, as it's "biblically profane." Gays have been verbally, physically, and mortally mistreated in His, and "Caesar's," names. "Telling the truth while telling lies" (my quote) are "the remains of the day" absent CONTEXT. Do the work to understand those scriptures. Then spread THE WORD, dearie. With due respect. (KFB 3.15.23)
