Cape Town. Anti-gay pastor defies court, says he’ll continue to preach the same message
A Cape Town pastor, who may find himself behind bars for defying a court order barring him from making anti-gay comments, accused the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) on Wednesday of trying to make an example of him.
Tous libres d’aimer? L’Afrique, entre tolérance et répression
En Afrique, la communauté LGBT reste vulnérable face à l’homophobie, aux persécutions et aux discriminations commises en raison de l’orientation sexuelle et de l’identité de genre, qu’elles soient réelles ou supposées. En plus de criminaliser les pratiques sexuelles entre personnes de même sexe, plusieurs dispositions pénales perpétuent et promeuvent les stéréotypes, augmentant la vulnérabilité de la communauté LGBT.
Le «mariage homosexuel» en Afrique, est-il possible et souhaitable d’en parler?
Je suis allée pour la première fois à Madagascar en avril 2013 dans le cadre de l’association missionnaire pour laquelle je travaille, la Centrale de Littérature Chrétienne Francophone. Sans étonnement, j’ai constaté que tous les protestants que je croisais avaient une énorme envie de discuter de ce que les médias, chez eux, appelaient « l’inter- LGBT [Lesbiennes, Gays, Bisexuels, Trans] du mariage homosexuel ».
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. Neither am I concerned with the reasons why Western media tend to depict “African homophobia” in rather sensationalist ways – although I do wonder whether it has something to do with the deep-rooted perception of Africa as “backward” that allows the West to see itself as “progressive” and “modern”.
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.
I had to confirm what he had said by asking him to repeat himself, which he did in clearer terms. I couldn’t even wait to hear his short story.
I am a Christian homosexual. Proud by Choice!
I am PROUD that I knew intrinsically, in spite of being surrounded by all the negative messages, that I was not bad.
I am PROUD that although it took a lot of years to come to terms with
my sexuality, I finally arrived and accepted myself for who I am.
Until that time there was a HOLE in me and now, in its place, there is a
WHOLE me.

Gay by God. Proud by choice!
PRIDE in being gay is not something that comes naturally when we live in a world that tells us we are “evil” and “immoral”. For most of us it is first a road of self-awareness, and then of self-acceptance. 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.
