The enemies of the gay community in Uganda keep on hiding behind ‘culture’ in their argument that homosexuality is un-African. But take a look at this picture:
Nudity: a culturally acceptable phenomenon before Colonialism
This confident woman would have been the norm in most Ugandan locales save for Buganda before the advent of the white man. Indeed nudity is still very much part of the Karamojong culture to-date.
Still culturally acceptable; nude Karamojong
Which brings one to the obvious question: if you have dispensed with walking around in the nude, something that was culturally acceptable before the white man came with his Bible and the sword, what exactly make it un-African for two men or women to close their door behind them and engage in same-sex loving that you don’t even see?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for a response. The bigots and ignoramuses touting this fatuous ‘it’s not part of our culture’ argument cannot fashion any coherent response because there isn’t any.
