For Africans the outlook on
the subject is totally different from that of our counterparts in the rich
world. Homosexuality was and will always be a reality. A fact.
Yet, the problem (at the
moment) is not acceptance or not acceptance but, perception. The average
African views “being gay” in the “physical” sense. The actual words constantly
used on social media after Denmark’s announcement three weeks ago, were Sodom
and Gomorrah. To Whites (and all others who have legalised it) gay
lifestyle is viewed on a broader sense.
Not just as two people of the same gender agreeing to have sexual
intercourse, but as humans, loving each other. That is why prominent
individuals of the same gender openly
“marry” and live happily after. Check out famous musician Elton John and his
partner Mr David Furnish or Luxembourg Prime Minister, Xavier Bettel and Mr Gauthier
Destenay, tying knots, recently.
That is Europe.
