Hi guys, I just came accross this article... what are your thoughts?
................................


“Many stories credit Africa with producing the Amazons. Beginning in the 18th century and continuing throughout the 19th century, there was an all woman army maintained by the King of Dahomey (West Africa).

There are at least 33 different cultures in Africa (From the Yoruba in Northern Nigeria and the Barenda of the Northern Transvaal, to the Kamba of East Africa) where marriages between women are recognized. Academics are quick to deny that lesbianism has any role in such arrangements despite considerable evidence to the contrary.

One study on homosexuality in Africa indicates that of 78 cultures, with little contact with Western values, 49 approved of or at least tolerated homosexuality. This may indicate that homophobia (NOT homosexuality) is a Western colonial import.”

There's a reason God created penises and vaginas in such a way that they would be compatible (lock and key theorem). Also, the male and female have to engage in sexual intercourse to produce offspring. You cannot reproduce through same-sex intercourse.

Homosexuality is therefore an abnormality, akin to hemaphroditism, conjoined (siamese)twins, and downs syndrome. The only difference is that the above cannot be controlled by the affected individual.

Homosexuality is a form of deviant behavior. It is a sickness like the one exhibited by pedophiles. Just because something feels good does not make it right. The only reason we prosecute pedophiles and not homosexuals is because of the involvement of minors.

Homosexuality is a disease. Don't even try to make it seem like it is a natural thing. I utterly despise homosexuality, but my Christian beliefs direct me to treat you with respect. We accept you as a human being but we reject your gay lifestyle.

Hi Cookie, below is some proof I found once you made the request... its amazing how much you can see if you just open your eyes!

Homosexuals are everywhere. We always have been. We always will be. When African homosexuals were in the bowels of slave ships, they were locked in the same iron chains, not pink triangle bracelets. When African slaves were lynched, they wore the same rope nooses, not knotted rainbow flags. Gaybashers shame all of their African ancestors, across oceans of time...

Oh hi Americanized!

So touched by your thoughts and oppinions on the article I posted.
I bet if I were a Christian, your comments would bother me but I am somehow happy that I can think for myself and not, prescribe to thoughts dictated to me by colonizers who forced their WESTERN relegion down my throat and erradicated my own.
But such is life.

Have a good one!

After you are done reading these books, I will also refer you to the "HOLY BIBLE'. Please add it to your reading list.

Had lunch with this two akataa jamaas who were gay.The sis had already briefed me about them so i was on the guard.Through the lunch my mind was always on now who does what and so on....So when all was said and done and getting a favour i wanted one of the guys asked "What is the opinion of Kenyans about gay?"
I just went round and round of how Mombasa and Nairobi is opening up to diversity.
So when driving home thats when i posed to myself "Is there a Kikuyu name for gay? or Kemi can help me out with a Kisii name.
I bet some things are just unacceptable or a no go zone.

@africangay,

I find you obnoxious in trying to twist african culture to advance gayness. First of all notice that the kamba women you mentioned are women not men. Second if you had done a little research on the kamba culture you could have come up with why some were taking up women as co-wife or help-wife. This had nothing to do with their sexuality at all, nor a desire to engage in any sexual act thereof. It was so they can help her raise her children and help with family work. The women who used to enter those relationships were mainly those who were baren and were used in helping in the house to give them a semblance of normality in a society that fitting in as a baren woman was tough.

@acq - yu ask a good question, if this africangay guy purports that those are well researched articles and the way we know african languages are the richest in grammar and vocabulary, how come there is no word for queers?

yawn.

Another gay mashadite......pass the small tea cup to our resident pillow-biter :D

Again, where is Gaykenya? seriously, maybe he was set on fire during his parade - like for real. Can the Nairobi mashadites confirm if there was news of a questionable gender individual set ablaze on Kimathi street? joginda? anybody?

I am very worried; he might start an in-house morale booster club - exclusive for him, this new guy and the other one......his name again? oh well him...yeah ...Kim Kim?

Warning: Please dont invade the mashadettes closets looking for shoes and clothes *raises brow* stay away from Covergal Mascara....you will scare the homophobes with tranny tendencies.

i always wonder though (educate a sista) do you wear thongs? how do you tuck 'IT' in? (gee sitting down must be a whole broadway production with props and shyet) Do you pee standing or sitting :-)
Do you like tinky winky of teletubbies? esp. the purple one ;-)

educate a sista LOL

geee - I need shisha *puff*
