Is Being Gay Un-African? A Philosopher's Perspective TC_Africa: Africa

was introduced in parliament. It aims to promote"proper human sexual rights and Ghanaian family values, and proscribe the promotion of and advocacy for LGBTQ+ practice".of the discussion of homosexuality in Africa since the 1980s suggests that this view is not uniquely Ghanaian, and that homosexuality nags at the conscience of Africans.

Being gay in Africa can pose culturally specific problems which the dominant, heterosexual culture may find hard to accept. But I think African culture can also offer a solution to this nonacceptance - a moral theory that allows people to embrace both their sexual being and their cultural being. Being gay and being African need not be seen as a contradiction.

Some people describe homosexuality as"unnatural","anti-social" or"un-African". This is not true. Several studies, includingon 50 societies in every region of the continent, decisively support the conclusion that homosexual relationships constitute"a consistent and logical feature of African societies and belief systems."
