We need to stop blaming white people, for introducing homosexuality in
Africa. Homosexuality was in Africa, before Europeans stepped on land.
There was homosexuality in the Ancient Egyptian times. When the first
Europeans set foot in Sub Saharan Africa, they witnessed men engaging in
homosexual behaviours and thought it was abnormal. The European colonists
forced religion less Africans to follow Christianity. When they read the
bible, that’s how they learned that homosexuality is a sin. Africa was
doing okay, before the Europeans forced religion on them.
60% of homos are HIV positive so what’s the need? I prefer the death
penalty to all the homos so that we can at least reduce the number of
people with HIV. This is a simple method of controlling the disease.
The president of Uganda in this video looks like a real intolerant tyrant
and ruthless gorilla dictator ! Whether people want to hear it or not….he
is an evil monster; repulsive and an ignorant homophobic and wretched
religious bigot ! These morons are talking about pro-creation and
reproducing; as if Africa needs more people ? It is already vastly over
populated, crime ridden, impoverished, corrupt, loaded with Ebola and
cannot sustain the people they already have. The solution to these clueless
Africans is to bash gays for not having children and asking for more and
more people to further strain the hell hole they are now living in ! If
this is not the extreme insanity of brainlessness, as it were the Dark
Ages, where religion controlled small minded people because it operated on
propagating fear, guilt, hate, lies, vicious myths and mass-ignorance !
There are lots of gems from the Bible like this:
* you can kill your wife on your wedding night if she is not a virgin
* you can kill your disobedient children
* you can keep slaves
* you can stone adulterers (A quote from Jesus himself)
* you mustn’t eat pork or shellfish
* you must kill people of different faiths to you
* you must sacrifice animals to appease an angry god
* God may ask you to sacrifice your son to show obedience
* keep the Sabbath holy (Sabbath is Saturday)
* he who is without sin cast the first stone
* love your neighbor as yourself (how do you interpret that?)
There are lots more gems from the Bible
like that:
* Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it;
* Do not put tattoo marks on yourselves;
* Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material;
* Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of
your beard
Homosexuality is NOT even mentioned in the New Testament.
So what is your opinion, can you trust the bible? I trust in my eyes and
ears, not what the bible tells me.
Don’t think for one second that homosexuality hasn’t been happening in
Africa like around the world because it has been. Homosexuality has been
around for as long as there were humans. I can guarantee you there were gay
Africans before our modern time but they kept it in the closet for fear of
death. This is not a European thing, but a human thing. It only seems
prevalent now b/c more people are coming out and aren’t ashamed. The stigma
around it is slowly dying.
Adam & Eve not Adam and Steve nor Eve and Olive!!!! That is against the
Human being species
LOL the irony is just hilarious. Homosexuality is in fact African.
Homosexuality happens in every continent, culture on the planet. However
Christianity and Islam IS Un-African.
Religion is guilty of so much evil and violence, so much hate and lies and
malice.
nobody borns gay
I am beginning to be ashamed of being a Christian but when I remember that
Jesus whomis my model and teacher never said that being gay was a problem
for him
The way I see it, sexual needs can be fulfilled in many different ways but
the most natural way is to have hetero sex and have children. Now you may
say “animals do this in nature….” Yes. I’ve seen my dog fuck a toy
because he was horny. Doesn’t mean he wouldn’t rather fuck a female dog and
have puppies instead. He was just fulfilling sexual needs one way or the
other. If you understand what I am saying, all men and women deserve to
have a normal life. Being gay is settling for less.
yet again idiots who believe in god – sadly uneducated people who know no
better
Homosexuality is not African and it will never be part of African; this is
Caucasian culture that was introduced to all African during invasion of
Africa by ancient Rome and now Europe pushing this genocidal concept to
eradicate African children in the future in order to control the natural
resources freely and accumulate wealth, burn this African gay agent and
African puppet of western imperialist, peace and B.P.
African mind is enslaved. Mr Ugandan protector of children care so much
about African children children die every day in Uganda from curable
diseases.
This reminds me of an older Irish man I once met. He told me that there
were no gay people in Ireland until recently.
According to him, it was the acceptance of homosexuality that suddenly
turned some Irish people gay. Basically, he didn’t want to accept that
homosexuality occurred naturally among his people. He wanted to believe
that such acts were un-Irish.
So is homosexuality un-African? Well, there have always been gay people in
Africa, just like there have always been gay people on every other
continent. Homosexuality isn’t un-African, anti-African, or pro-African.
It’s just something that’s there.
A man with a man? Is a man with an animal really so different. It’s sick.
Interesting how nearly every anti homosexual comment invokes a god. Don’t
you love religion?!?!
If you want to stop homosexuality and AIDs in Africa, how about not
screwing? Try that and see if it works.
wow when women are educated, its a good thing. i enjoyed the skinny
bullhead African lady. she is well spoken.
Homosexuality was recorded in Lemurian and Atlantean cultures that go back
100,000 years ago and has probably existed since man walked this earth. It
is a true and valid part of god’s creation.
There is another video on utube that interviews uni students in Africa, and
they don’t go along with these anti-gay attitudes, and don’t believe in
criminalization either. So the next generation will bring informed and
progressive changes to Africa, in time.
if homosexuality is spontaneous then why the recruitment drive WHY ?
anywhere I wonder if this homo thing is a product of homo parents – homo
is unnatural anywhere these are just worse than dogs and pigs.This
adoption thing is an infringment on the innocent soul to natural family
socialisation
Why did I have to watch an African talkshow on this topic to hear some of
the most precisely and eloquently worded arguments for why protection of
gays and lesbians is necessary?!
Stop pretending thse actions are justified because of ”God”. These
anti-gay people are hatefull, uneducated bigots, end of story.
Always trying to push that nasty lifestyle!!!
Just as I feared reading the comments; Africans again blaming the white man
for their problems. ‘Blame the white man’ is always the easiest option it
seems!! Who needs evidence and reason when you have the ultimate scapegoat?
Why does it matter if someone likes another from the same sex? I find this
very hard to swallow considering many of the same homophobes that want the
death penalty for gays and lesbians are probably the ones who have sex out
of wed lock. So it’s not only a double standard, but hyprocrisy at best.
Look for dirt in your own eyes before you pick out the ones in others. Gays
are human also. Who are we to judge and ostracize them for their love for
the same sex? Let’s talk about unwed mothers or men who have multiple
wives. I bet nobody is willing to speak up then.
Interesting that Bahati guy says Homosexuality is decreasing population in
Uganda (and I’m assuming Africa) but last time I checked, HIV, guerilla
warfare, poverty, starvation, and now the damn Ebola virus were the reasons
for shortened life in Africa. Homosexuality is the LAST thing that
continent needs to be worrying about. Honestly, that whole continent
doesn’t even have the luxury to worry about homosexuality.

man in greece they us to get drunk bet they wifes and and have sex with
another man.CRAZY EUROPEAN PRACTICE.
Once again, demonstration that religion is the greatest threat to humanity.
Many of the people in the video and in the comments are dangerous savages.
Reason and logic get overwhelmed by febrile “thoughts” about how sick it is
for a man to be sticking his penis somewhere it doesn’t belong. This is the
logic of a degenerate or diseased mind.
The WHITE race has turned many Africans to homosexual just like they are
trying very hard to ALL non-Whites countries. The White race is an evil
race who will keep pushing their immoral behaviour to all non-White
countries. Yuck.
Baharti should help stamp out poverty, corruption, war and disease (e.g.
ebola) because that is what is reducing the population numbers.
Homosexuality is a non-issue when you see the scale of these problems,
unless he is looking for a scapegoat to take the scrutiny off his own weak
and corrupt government.
Also, someone said: Homophobia can be changed, but Homosexuality can’t be
changed. That is true.
No one has the right to say something is either un-African or African. It’s
just a label, and people misuse it like when they say Christianity is an
African thing when it’s actually something that comes from white people
that indoctrinated it into African’s minds. Most Africans are “un-African”
if you will, these nice suits they’re wearing are “un-African”, cellphones
are “un-African”, speaking English is un-African. So? No one cares, so lets
have the same state of mind when it comes to homosexuality and if you don’t
like it unfortunately the problem is on you and not on the LGBT community.
I’ve never really focused on my atheism until now, I’m proud to not use
illogical fallacies to justify intolerance. 🙂 Can anyone give me one (Just
ONE) logical reason to be against homosexuality… I have never heard such
a thing…
homosexuality is an EURO THINK. SO KEEP IT IN EUROPE.we don,t don,t kiss
animal mouth.
How can you claim preservation of “African values” while embracing the
religion (Christianity) of your conqueror and colonizer? Sack of
irrational, hypercritical and bigoted !@#$.
It is almost amazing to see European nations, who allow all kinds of
same-sex marriage under the banner of “human rights,” then take issue with
a Muslim woman’s head-dress (Hijab) as a source of “cultural tension” (in
Italy) or incompatible with our values (Jack Straw, UK). The same Europe
that criminalise what dress it’s minorities can wear in France is screaming
gay rights at Africa.Human rights should be all encompassing,otherwise this
is the west playing tarzan or daddy to us and we’re fed up of this
nonsense.
GOD isn’t as judgemental as his “followers are” which is why Christianity
is slowly becoming a joke!!!!! how dare you Promote Polygamy and still
Claim CHRISTIANITY??? Life will sure be better in Africa once ppl like
that Ugandan guy die
heres the thing why are ppl so focused on homosexuality there is somebody
being murdered or abused or kidnapped right now..put more energy into that
and the world could be a better place over all why is someones orientation
or the way they dress someones issue there are people who are already
against us as a whole and as a nation..believe what you believe but this is
sick too know that people can corrective rape someone and be ok with that
anyone who violates another persons body is just as sick as the person that
they feel are wrong for what thier doing…you have violated someones
temple beacuse of your lack of un happiness with yourself something was
wrong with you as a person in general if you just go and rape a woman just
because of her preference..pure hate..
So, if African have sex only for procreation why they still have sex after
having the number of kids they want? Or how come they have more kids they
can feed? Or why stead of having sex to have kid do not they adopt the ones
that other strait couple have over for being sinners and have sex for
pleasure?.
