Being Gay is African: A Historical Perspective

The assertion that homosexuality is a Western concept is a myth largely propagated by colonial influences and the import of Christianity. Historically, African cultures have recognized and included various forms of same-sex relationships and identities, which have only been obscured by later colonial and religious narratives.

Contemporary Conflicts and Historical Evidence

During his visit to Africa in 2015, US President Barack Obama highlighted the legal discrimination against LGBT individuals. In Kenya, he emphasized the importance of treating all individuals equally, irrespective of their differences. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta responded by asserting that Kenyan culture does not accept homosexuality. This sentiment is not unique and has been echoed by other African leaders such as Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda. However, historical evidence contradicts these assertions.

Historical Examples of Homosexuality in Africa

Ancient and Pre-Colonial Evidence

Yoruba Language: The Yoruba language has a term, "adofuro," which describes someone who engages in anal sex. This term, which predates colonial influence, indicates an awareness of homosexual behavior.

Azande Warriors: In the 19th century, the Azande people of Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo practiced same-sex relationships where warriors would marry young men due to the scarcity of women. These relationships were socially accepted and included rituals and formal marriage customs​ (Face2Face Africa)​.

King Mwanga II of Buganda: King Mwanga II of Uganda openly engaged in homosexual relationships with his male servants before the advent of Christian missionaries who brought condemnation​ (JSTOR Daily)​.

Ancient Egypt: Paintings and records suggest that Nyankh-Khnum and Knum-Hotep, royal servants in ancient Egypt, may have had a homosexual relationship. These men were depicted in affectionate poses and shared a tomb, highlighting the acceptance of their relationship within their society​ (AfricaOTR)​.

Meru Community in Kenya: The Mugawe, religious leaders among the Meru, often dressed in women's clothes and married men. This role was not just accepted but integrated into the spiritual and social fabric of the community​ (AfricaOTR)​.

Anthropological Insights

Marc Epprecht, a historian, documents various forms of same-sex relationships across Africa that were ignored or misinterpreted by early Western anthropologists. These relationships ranged from love affairs to ritualistic practices. For example, among the Imbangala of Angola, same-sex relationships were part of ritual magic. Similarly, in South Africa, temporary "mine marriages" were formed among men working in mines during colonial times​ (JSTOR Daily)​.

The Influence of Christianity and Colonialism

The rise of fundamental Christianity, heavily influenced by American televangelists since the 1980s, has significantly shaped the contemporary African stance on homosexuality. Many Africans argue that homosexuality is against Biblical teachings, yet the Bible itself is not part of African historical culture. This adoption of a Western religious framework to argue against homosexuality demonstrates a significant cultural shift influenced by colonialism.

The Political Use of Homophobia

Populist homophobia has become a political tool in many African countries. Politicians gain votes by promoting anti-gay sentiments, creating an environment where hatred and violence against LGBT individuals are not only accepted but encouraged. This has led to severe consequences, such as corrective rapes in South Africa and oppressive laws across the continent.

Reclaiming African Heritage

To combat the dangerous narrative that homosexuality is un-African, it is crucial to retell and reclaim African history. African culture historically celebrated diversity and promoted acceptance, including various sexual orientations and gender identities. By acknowledging and teaching this true history, we can foster a more inclusive and equitable society.

Reaffirming our commitment to historical accuracy and cultural inclusivity is essential. True African heritage is one of acceptance and recognition of all its members, regardless of their sexuality.

Might as well go and eat breakfast untill they get here in a few hours

*"As Hajime walks down the staircase and proceeds to head to the kitchen, a news broadcast is occurring, with a male reporter standing live at what appears to be a blown African mansion. The building was still intact, however, it seems to have taken severe damage in some sort of explosion, with the window glass blown out and the inside looking burned"*.

Huh? *turns to the TV* W-what's going on here?

Male reporter: I'm Yuji Tachimota from Kyoto State News here live in Kenya, Africa, where a horrendous bombing has occurred. I'm here at what appears to be nothing more than a three-story mansion, now in ruins and shambles. Aproxmanley several weeks ago, this was the main residence of Uhuru Kenyatta, the deputy Prime Minister of Kenya, and a prominent anti-communist.

Yuji: Mr. Kenyatta was a key member leading the Keyan armed forces against the OHRU during the Keyan civil war. Witnesses cannot exactly confirm if the deputy Prime minister was killed or not. Some say they heard gunshots, others claim that they saw Kenyatta being dragged out by men wearing camouflage. As of now, more witnesses have testified to the second claim.

Yuji: From what I could gather, they say that the kidnappers were speaking in a foreign language and not Swalihi, the local language of Kenya. This has led most people, both internationally and domestically, to believe that it was a foreign affair and not a rebel counterattack. Strangely, the BBC was supposed to air a broadcast about the status of the war on the same day before he disappeared, but that broadcast didn't air untill a week later.

Yuji: The BBC has said it was due to a technical delay with the radio system, but some politicians in Britain are saying that this was an attack by terrorists, due to the coincidental nature of this whole affair. Either way, there has been no evidence as of this hour to prove these claims.

Yuji: I'm Yuji Tachimota and I... *looks down with a somber look* what is this world coming to? S-stay safe, everyone *TV screen cuts to black*

Wh- What the hell...
