But how will you do that? More incantations?

You are the one making threats. I never made a single one. So who is the real keyboard warrior here?

Homophobes are so scared all they can think of is violence. Don't worry, no one is going to come turn you gay. Unless you were gay to begin with. Is that where this fear is coming from? They said the loudest ones have the most to hide.

keyboard warrior, this your so called will give you free 14 years. anyways Hold this clean L and you going to hell

including in arizona right?

Yes including Arizona. Homosexuality is not criminalized in any single state of the US. You might be thinking of the bill that proposed to allow INDIVIDUAL businesses to discriminate against homosexual customers. That bill was vetoed bare weeks after it was proposed.

Look up inalienable rights. It's what the country was founded on.

What is more evil, sleeping with someone wife. How about a married man sleeping with prostitutes, or a married woman sleeping around. You hypocrites.
The country is doomed

I believe what you are asking for is a citation. Yes? You want me to give you a citation so you can "tell [me] why they are not proofs of homosexualism been of Africa."

How will you do that? Will you call the authors and researchers and demand that they show you the cave painting, missionary letters and journals, and native interview recordings so you can determine their authenticity? I would really like to know how you would go about disproving a scholarly article. I didn't realize you were an anthropologist. I apologize for the presumption.

By all means, I will provide you with the citations.

I don't think all of these were needed when you know you will be giving me the citation. How I intend to disprove your claim will later be another scholarly effort; I wait your citation sir.

It was necessary. You claimed you will be able to disprove this excerpt (don't forget, I have over 32 more, just from my preliminary search. I have subscriptions to research sites I haven't even logged into yet). So yes, you need to say how.

Africans have been so thoroughly violated by colonialism. They don't even know what their culture is anymore.

Homosexuality was an accepted part of many African cultures before it was trampled out by colonial missionaries. The white man told you homosexuality is wrong. Now you think you have always hated it. You tell the white man not to bring in something you forgot you once had.

The white man told you you weren't wearing enough clothes. That you were "indecent". Now you think baring your skin is "un-African". You tell the white man not to corrupt you with their un-African núdity.

The white man told you to worship their god. Now you have surpassed them in religious fanaticism, and you call them heathens.

I weep for my the DESTRUCTION of my people's history and culture. We don't even know what was ours anymore. Confusion.


And believe me, I can back ALL of this up with historical publications and respected research journals.
Im officially in love with this post. Nice one.

Africa are morally bankrupt to play judge on issues like this. Taking selective moral n religious stand shows the rot in our society.Double standard if I may say. Maybe laws should be enacted for people that commit fornication, adultery, polygamy,child marriages, bigamy as well just to mention a few, which in my pesonal religious belief are all sin before God.Untill those laws are in place,I say stop this moral prejudice and hypocrisy n stop playing God

Your thought process is premised on a faulty data, so I can understand your limitations. Gay and Lesbian should never be left alone. They are dirt thus most be cleared. Nobody wants a dirty society? Would you be fine if you see your kids watching two male adult kissing on TV? Protect the society!

Now, let's talk about Zimbabwe. Oh yes, Zimbabwe. President Mugabe doesn't know a damn thing about his own people.

This excerpt is from an article written by a Zimbabwean historian.

"The Shona of Zimbabwe, for example, like other societies, observed a culture of discretion around sexual matters, and actually recognized various forms of queer sexualities. Examples of pre-colonial gender variance and sexual inversion included ritual celibacy, such as the mbonga, a female guardian whose celibacy protected the Shona chief, and the chibanda, a caste of male diviners possessed by female spirits and referred to in early European sources as “passive sodomites”.

Among the Lovedu people, the gender inversion involved women. The “rain queen” kept her virginity but married girls.

In the nineteenth century, Ndebele and Ngoni warriors introduced the practice of ritual male-male sexuality as part of war preparations.

The argument here being, therefore, that in pre-modern Zimbabwe, as in other pre-modern African states, Africans did not conform to the idealized heterosexuality that contemporary African leaders like Mugabe prefer to claim as “African tradition” (see especially Hungochani: The History of a Dissident Sexuality in Southern Africa).

Sexuality in Zimbabwe on the eve of European conquest was more diverse than so far recognized. This is a critical point to acknowledge if we are to honestly confront and debunk the ahistorical view of homosexuality as something “foreign” and un-African.
Secondly, it is important to appreciate the real roots of our current homophobia. There is little connection between the revulsion we have as Zimbabweans towards homosexuality with our pre-colonial ancestors who, despite having strict rules that governed all sexualities, did not really see homosexuality as “evil” or deride gays as “worse than dogs and pigs”.

In fact, the roots of our homophobia can actually be traced, paradoxically, to the influence of European colonial rule! If we want to argue that homosexuality is “un-African”, it is better not to use “tradition” as a justification for our homophobia because it was actually European colonists who introduced homophobic sentiments in colonial Zimbabwe.

With regards to new sexualized ideas, for example, we know that it was colonization that brought, among other things, the taboo of núdity, new forms of clothing that eroticized the náked female body, and the fetishization of body odor, which led to the notion of African uncleaniliness. Informed by antiquated Victorian and patriarchal Christian gender norms, colonialism also brought narrow definitions of sex and sexuality, which Christian missionaries and colonial officials foisted down the throats of Africans.

In Rhodesia, for example, homosexuality was actually criminalized through such laws as the Immigration Act of 1914 that prohibited anybody practicing prostitution and homosexuality from entering the colony – a clause kept on the statute books until 1980. Colonialism was single-handedly responsible for the evolution of new sexual ideas among Africans, including homophobia. In fact, the extreme homophobia of Zimbabwean nationalist leaders during the 1960s and beyond had its origins in their colonial Christian schooling and middle-class aspirations of seeking bourgeois respectability.

It is fallacious, therefore, for present-day Zimbabweans to claim that “tradition” dictates that homosexuality is “un-African”. That homophobia is very modern and it has colonial roots. And so it is very wrong, actually, to blame colonialism for introducing homosexuality in Africa because, to the contrary, European colonists were notoriously homophobic.”"

30 more papers to go... and then I'll start the actual research.
