In this global world ,a world that everyone is aware of social medias and a world that is associating with social networks.A world that everything can be controlled by the power of internet,then this is also the world that everyone is free to do each and everything saying that there is freedom.A world that a child can be born and as a meaning of coaxing then he or she could be given a phone.This is even a world that the opposition of good things is at very high rate than opposition in bad things.The world that goes against nature.A nature that holds the truth ,a truth that it is because of heterosexuality thus why we are born here.This is the world that is totally accusing some sad truths that it was with Adam and Eve that we are and not Adam and steve.
Things happen so differently now,and this is to this wide issue ,the issue of homosexuality,where as is the kind of relationship whereby a person is sexually attracted to another of the same sex.And this is what we call and say about LGBTQ
What is LGBTQ?
LGBTQ,its initially word standing for Lesbians,Gays,Bisexual,Transgender and Queer.
Who are Lesbians? lesbians are homosexual women or girls.Means that women get into sexual attraction with their fellow women or girls
Girls in love relationship
Who are Gays? Gays are homosexual men or boys.Meaning that men get sexually attracted by their fellow men or boys.
men to men relationship
Speaking on the meaning of bisexual,this means the act of being attracted to same sex.
A transgender,Is a person whose gender identity does not conform to that sex they were assigned at birth
lastly is Queer,this is an umbrella that encompasses a wide range of sexual orientations,gender identities and expressions that do not conform to traditional societal norms regarding sexuality and gender.
Historically;Queer was used as a derogatory slur against individuals who did not conform to heterosexuality.
In most African countries,homosexuality is against the traditional norms and culture of the society and therefore is total opposed.Though in western countries like US have just recognized their presence and have rights to each and everything.And they could even marry one another and their marriage could be officially announced by the priest in church
Currently we have seen even the marriage that took place in Boston,that was held in the church and the priest was there and they were going to be announced as husband s and wife but the lightning burnt the church and all whom were there.
Massachusetts church that was hosting a same sex wedding ceremony.
So by this we get to know that homosexuality is supported to other countries .
In Africa homosexuality is seen as an evil,and once you be a homosexual person then one may face difficulties in many aspects of life.Ad it is even seen that being a homosexual person in most African countries is like being a criminal.
Many youths now in many countries in Africa have fall into this queer relations of which its just said that the homosexuality is the impact of colonial intrusions to sub-saharan countries.So youths in Africa fall into this kind of relationship.
Why do youths in Africa fall into homosexuality kind of relationship?
- Many youths have been engaging in this kind of relationship due to the influence of social medias,Since some of the medias shows the context that may influence viewers' and hence viewers especially the youths decides to cope .Despite this also many youths own smart phones that would help them in having and watching movies in their phones but sometimes the movies are supporting the act and so youths cope and they therefore fall into homosexuality.
-Some youths thinks that the pain that they have been experiencing from a different sex relationship can be wiped away by having a same sex relationship and because of this many youths decide to be in homosexuality relations as a means of escaping from pain.
-Escaping from things like unwanted and early pregnancies can make people to fall in this homosexuality.For example a girl may fear to have pregnancy in an early age and because he or she fears also to disappoint her family therefore she engages on homosexuality and becomes a lesbian.
Because in Africa LGBTQ is a criminal and also is going against the traditions and customs therefore the homosexuals people face different problems.
Conditions that hinders the homosexuals in Africa
-In most of Africans countries ,if they once discover that you are the lesbian or a gay then you are segregated and even treated very inhumanity.Though in some places they can associate with you but in many places they neglect and see them as the curse who never have anything to plead but just die.
-In other African countries tend to take the laws on their hands like killing.So once they know you as a lesbian or a gay or even a supporter they may even kill you.For example ,The famous model and fashioner in kenya known as Edwin Chiloba ,was found dead in a metal box and the reason that was held is that he was a gay activist.
A kenyan activist and a gay who was killed in kenya
-Also homosexual people in most African societies have ended up in jail and mostly are life imprisonment ,this is because they are believed to go against the africans traditional,customs and norms therefore even the countries' laws do not support thia and therefore they end up being imprisonment. For example in Tanzania has
not abide with the laws upon supporting and giving rights to these homosexual people.
Moreover , we should never go against the nature.We all have rights to live whoever but never cast down the fact of nature whereas,the reality of nature is you and me.And therefore we are made and we are the outcome of Adam and Eve meaning a result of a man and a woman relationship and not a man to man or a woman to woman relationship.So this is what nature says and the sad fact is that even the holy books and the faiths are telling the fact that who we are and yet people are just going against them.
Though the homosexuality seems to be so crucial issue in Africa and most confusing thing then there must be more suggested ways to criticize it in a wisely way rather than killings and murdering them.
