Beyond African religious homophobia: How Christianity is a source of African LGBT activism
In this piece I’m not concerned with “African homophobia” as such – although I’d like to pose the question whether homophobia is the most useful term to understand the politics around homosexuality and LGBT rights in contemporary African societies.

How to Be Gay and Safe in Nigeria
Last Sunday, at a weekly literary gathering in Kaduna, a bearded dark macho guy openly said, smiling with a perfect row of white teeth, “I am homophobic, so writing this story was very difficult for me” as if he expected the audience to give him a standing ovation.

We then need to take a further step to determine the consequences of our “Coming Out” to family, friends, and co-workers. For many the losses are not worth revealing the truth and so they remain closeted. This is understandable.
Some essential facts. Homosexual, Sodomy, and Sodomite
There is no word in biblical Greek or Hebrew for sodomy. A Sodomite was simply an inhabitant of Sodom, just as a Torontonian is an inhabitant of Toronto.
