You are confusing yourself more and more: homosexual and lesbian practices are not part of Africa people culture, homosexual and lesbian practices in Africa is a taboo and consider abomination and anyone caught practing gay and lesbian will be arrested and handed over to the police and charge for felony and unnatural acts.

you cannot prove what your saying

1nice:
You are talking nonsense!
You are not wise, you have no proof to verify your false claims and you continue to speak without thinking.

What is your name and what is your nationality?

At this moment you should be ashamed of yourself for speaking nonsense words.

like I said speak for your tribe and not the whole continent you keep your talking as if you can name more than 100 tribes in Africa when you can't name 30 without using google

1nice:
If you want proof then go and find out the proof yourself: I will give you clues to finding the truth.

Before the African colonial era, some Africa tribe were Jews and their Jews rules do not allow them to practice gay and lesbian and by then there was nothing like Christianity and Islam in Africa continent.

If you need proof do the research yourself and find out the truth: even the story is written in the bible and Quora.

You should not be like foolish people who argue without thinking and talk carelessly.

you claim homosexualism is not part of African culture but you can't bring any article or written information to prove your claim how ironic

1nice:
Illiterate, ignorance people like you displaying ignorance and foolishness on daily basis: you know nothing; you and your people should be ashamed of yourselves for been proud of belonging to an outlaws group ( Homosexuals and lesbians) even animals do not practice homosexuality and lesbianism.

like I said I'm no homosexual I'm just debunking a false claim
The myth that same-sex relations were absent in precolonial
Africa is one of the most enduring. Digging through history
and drawing from African-derived examples, it becomes clear
that traditional Africa was tolerant of different sexualities,
orientations and gender relations. Thus, it is disservice to
history to say that same-sex relations in Africa was
introduced by Europeans.
In my review of Nwando Achebe’s Female Monarchs and
Merchant Queens in Africa, I highlighted the African
phenomenon of “gendered males” and “gendered females”
which refers to the way that the interconnected universe
allows males to transform themselves into females and
females to transform themselves into males. As Achebe
argued, “these transformations are encouraged by a milieu
that recognizes that . . . sex and gender do not coincide; that
gender is a social construct and is flexible and fluid, allowing .
. . women to become gendered men, and . . . men, gendered
women.”
So, to understand same-sex relations in traditional Africa, one
must understand African cosmology. There is a close
relationship between spirituality and sexuality in African
cosmology as well as with the different types of spiritual
power associated with each sex. This worldview not only gave
rise to male and female gendered spiritual forces but also
allowed for the practice of same-sex relations.
Several instances in oral histories, critical texts, folklore, and
ethnographic reports confirm that traditional Africa recognized
same-sex relations. Thousands of years ago, evidence from
rock paintings show the prevalence of anal sex between San
men in present-day Zimbabwe. In Tommy Boys, Lesbian Men,
the authors identified several same sex practices in ancient
and contemporary Africa while in Egypt, as far back as 2400
BCE, excavated bodies of two men, Niankhkhnum and
Khnumhotep, showed them apparently cuddled to each other
as lovers. Also, in some traditional African societies, certain
magic rituals and rites of passage from boyhood to adulthood
often involved same-sex activities.

You are claiming what does not exist, and you do have proof to back your claims; You are suffering from emotional outburst.

BlackAdam65:

Speak for yourself, and stop talking nonsense and stop claiming Africa colonial era history you know nothing about.
Common research you can not do even with google and still you are claiming you know when in reality you know nothing; you are very dull and unintelligent.

BlackAdam65:

You are talking nonsense!
What is holding you from doing research yourself and find out those articles and written information that prove homosexualism is not part of African culture since you you would not accept another person proof other than your own.

Your argument is baseless and falsy.
Your argument is meaningless and full of falsehood: your arguing is like pouring water in a basket.

Among the many myths created about Africa, the claim
that homosexuality and gender diversity are absent or
incidental is one of the oldest and most enduring.
Historians, anthropologists, and many contemporary
Africans alike have denied or overlooked African same-
sex patterns or claimed that such patterns were
introduced by Europeans or Arabs. In fact, same-sex
love and nonbinary genders were and are widespread in
Africa. Boy-Wives and Female Husbands documents the
presence of this diversity in some fifty societies in every
region of the continent south of the Sahara. Essays by
scholars from a variety of disciplines explore
institutionalized marriages between women, same-sex
relations between men and boys in colonial work
settings, mixed gender roles in east and west Africa, and
the emergence of LGBTQ activism in South Africa, which
became the first nation in the world to constitutionally
ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Also
included are oral histories, folklore, and translations of
early ethnographic reports by German and French
observers. Boy-Wives and Female Husbands was the
first serious study of same-sex sexuality and gender
diversity in Africa, and this edition includes a new
foreword by Marc Epprecht that underscores the
significance of the book for a new generation of African
scholars, as well as reflections on the book's genesis by
the late Stephen O. Murray.
