This is a great article, unfortunately the thought provoking aspect of it will be lost to most because our African mindset puts us far behind.

To echo Akos's sentiments, 99% of respondents here will yell and hurl insults on the writer, instead of pondering on the righteousness of the argument. First of all, who delegated to another human being the right to sit in judgement over another human being. The courts are there for matters of criminality. No one should arrogate to themselves the power to denounce anyone on the subject of anyone's sexuality. After all, it is nobody's business if Gay people are in consensual relationship. Those holier-than-thous are not suffering any hardships because someone is gay. And to put the matter into perspective, this is a case of basic human rights and not of religion. Leave the judgement bit to God or your supreme spiritual deity. Leave LGBT people alone. If you are happy with what you've got why deprive someone of their happiness and rights?

I must suspend my injunction once again to commend Kwame for this apt and pungent article.

Those religious leaders and their adherents are among the most ignorant Africans around. Homosexuality in Africa is as old as its recorded history. And, of course, Ethiopia holds the uneviable record of supplying eunuchs - castrated men - to Asia Minor to southern Europe and then to Asia. Of course, those ignorant and hypocritical priests, if they knew some of the uses those eunuchs are put to, would pretend that they didn't.

Dear learned African professor of culture and human development, do you please see anything CIVIL with your proposal on homosexuality and the other sick lifestyles you stand for??? If it were culturally OK, you will not have ALL traditional leaders fighting against it. It is NOT Church leaders alone that objects to this abomination that causes desolation. I will not be surprised to read your next article with the headline: IT IS OK IN AFRICA TO MARRY GOATS AND CHICKEN, citing yourself as the first example. Please think again. Africans are very decent people even if corruption is still disturbing our society. We cherish DECENCY pleeeeease.

I totally Agree that:
When it comes to the subject of homosexuality, it sadly appears as if our religious leaders are so overwhelmed by their emotions that they facilely allow reason and common sense to take the proverbial back seat. The fact of the matter is that the greatest problem facing our continent presently is not homosexuality or same-sex marriages but rank corruption, gross leadership irresponsibility and an abject lack of foresight.

To be certain, the rampant and riotous incidence of adultery can be aptly envisaged as the most destructive problem of human sexuality in the global African community, and not homosexuality.

He was SPOT ON THE THINGS/ISSUES MENTIONED ABOVE AS THE MAJOR PROBLEMS OF AFRICA & NOT HOMESEXUALITY!! BUT THE HYPOCRITICAL MIND SETS OF AFRICANS & AFRICAN "JUDGES FOR GOD" DONT SEE IT THAT WAY!!!

Academically brilliant but absolutely devoid of knowledge or wisdom. Even animals not endowed with superior intellect do not practice "homosexuality".We see animals male and female mate, or display intimacy in various forms. You do not have to belong to a church to know this. Nature itself teaches it. Unless some people, by excessive book learning, have their minds corrupted, that is why they can go every academic length to write in defence of homosexuality. They are no longer worthy of the creator's(or they don't believe in His existence) noble and humankind mind. They have attained another level of mind, beyond the ordinary, way below ANIMALS. LOL

It has just been very convenient for the church to suppress that information since it didn't fit with their own view of the world.
Spend a little more time reading, and a little less writing nonsense on-line, and you'll find out too. :)

That said I am in agreement with you, these charlatan pastors or whatever must keep their homophobic tendencies out of the political arena!! As for the idea that homosexuality is some foreign import that is laughable!! Decent article

Okoampa the village buffoon strikes again. All he does is troll the websites looking for secondhand information. Why does he not tell us the stance of his relative on gay marriage?
Time waster.

It's best to end regions that commit genocide rather than let genocidal societies exist. This was demonstrated over and over in history. The mistreatment of human beings by violating their human rights cannot be justified by civilization. Religious leaders who commit atrocities in the name of their religion against others should be punished along with government officials who violate human rights. The excuses are meaningless.
