Hate to do this. Tariq is wrong about “gay” things being entirely western

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Anyone with common sense should know gayness isn't peculiar to any culture, country, people, race, ethnicity, etc.

Brehs really think somebody can be brainwashed into being gay

Conversion therapy has failed again and again to turn gay people straight but somehow white people have figured out how to do the reverse

Is it really that hard to understand that different people like different things?

He's probably both.

I've heard that same sex behavior (not as an identity) was present in pre-colonial Africa. From Uganda, to South Africa, and even in Nigeria. A Nigerian told me that some of the Orixas or whatever they call their gods practiced same sex behavior. Apparently the Dahomey Amazon warrior women took female wives.

I think it's a matter of understanding that, just like race, which is a modern construct, we can't go back and start labeling people with modern ideas around identities. Gay is a lifestyle today. Gay lifestyles were non-existent back then. So in that sense, there were no gays in pre-colonial Africa.

as a "lifestyle" its maybe a modern thing, but "homosexuality" as a thing, was definitely happening back then

Its criminality though? Hard to reconcile.

Plus, all the Rome lovers on The Coli gotta address Rome having major african influence but claiming all the gay stuff was just the greeks and other europeans

To be fair to African countries, there seems to be less violence towards gays than in the United States for example. I mean every other week, I'm reading threads about trannies being attacked and killed. This is definitely not the case in Nigeria.

As far as history, there were definitely gays in Africa. Oba Jayin a 16th century King of Oyo, Yoruba land was described as effeminate and dissolute with his harem filled with all sorts of characters. I asked a Yoruba scholar and he said he was definitely openly bi-sexual, although we can never know for sure.
