  Homophobia is unAfrican. Heavens, even Christianity is unAfrican. And, certainly, being out and proud is unAfrican, but homosexuality itself has been around forever, and no amount of not wanting it is going to change that. When something is wrong in a culture, I cannot see the wisdom of determinedly holding onto it because it's part of tradition: slavery, too, was part of many African cultures. There are other ways of understanding supposed biblical prohibitions on homosexuality than those traditionally put forward. The sin of Sodom wasn't homosexuality: it was inhospitality. There is a huge difference in my mind between threatened homosexual rape and a loving consensual same gender relationship between consenting adults. Rape should be illegal whether heterosexual or homosexual. The only thing that is unnatural for a totally homosexual person is to be heterosexual. Homosexuality is not chosen: it just is. Homophobia is chosen, however, and - thank The Lord - is completely curable.
