Many Africans are not yet ready to embrace homosexuality, at least not openly. But I see this changing in the next fifty years with a more progressive and tolerant generation.

Thirty years ago, homosexuality was still frowned upon in the west. A number of ministers and high-ranking Govt. Officials in the UK and America were outed and forced to resign under humiliating circumstances. A top footballer in Enland, Justin Fashanu dared to comeout but was hounded and forced to flee to America where he committed suicide. Even in the entertainment industry, many gay celebrities chose to hide their orientation as coming out amounted to career suicide.

With time, their societies evolved and became more tolerant. Today, we have openly gay top Govt. Officials, entertainment glitterati and even Archbishops.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same scenario is replicated in sub-Saharan Africa in the coming generations. Homosexuality knows no boundaries and permeates across ALL races, religions and cultures.

Having worked in several hotels across the country, where gay parties are not uncommon, I'd say that homosexuality is alive, thriving and kicking, albeit on the downlow. The coming generations will see to it that gays are accorded their rights. Afterall, what went down at Masaku sevens would have not have been countenanced a few years ago. Now, we just shrug our shoulders.

I doubt whether Africans have the luxury of fifty years of burying heads in the sand. And even if they did, the problem am highlighting now would still need to be resolved.

So if 'TIA' is about escapism and waiting for change to implement and direct itself under neurotic conditions then be prepared for uncontrollable damage in all or most aspects of African culture.

"Exposure" Haha Rollout is it within Kenya or outside? I have worked with 40 of kenyan tribes & a good number of foreigners my question is Must I practice a bad character to myself or allow my family just because I'm " exposed" and saw it somewhere? E.g FGM , west Africans eat fisi, tesos used to kill first borns,asians marrying inside family. Gayism ni UPUZ hii exposure ya kutafuta nyuma na mbele iko Sawa I agree with @guru DEATH

In Kenya, male gay s3x is frowned upon, with expletives like those used here. But suggest a 3some, to some of these men calling for death, and all of a sudden, women gay s3x is not so taboo.

And what's with the 'casual' call for death, then a turn-around castigating terrorism?

Hii double standards mingi sana!

That said, my take is that permisiveness is how the devil creeps up on you. Brute force, however, cannot be the answer.

Change doesn't come from within only. It comes from within and without.

Am aware of what's happening in our exchange, given previous exchanges. And at least, I also understand your position, and something about change and its challenges.

And since ALL is well for me, I'll just be still.

It's no longer a question of tolerance or intolerance it's a question of being and becoming. The barriers are illusions.

Evolution.

I am intolerant to that. Can I be tolerated?

Is there any reason why it cannot be you?
Or Mtu Biz?
Or anyone else?

Embrace or forget.

Who decides what who embraces?
