What traditional African homosexuality learned from West

Mon, 20 May 2013 21:52:58 -0400

What traditional African homosexuality learned from West:

sonofbaldwin:

Homosexuality has a long history in Africa, says anthropologist Patrick Awondo, contrary to the claims of politicians who consider it a recent Western import.

But Awondo acknowledged in an interview last month that two key elements in the debate over homosexuality in Africa did come from the West — first, colonial-era laws against homosexual activities and, more recently, the establishment of groups opposing discrimination against gays, lesbians and transgender people.

“Homosexuality has always existed, but some of the current forms of gay self-identification and gay activism originated elsewhere,” he said.

Awondo was in Cameroon last month to help lead a training session on HIV/AIDS.

Citing historical records of homosexual practices in Africa, Awondo mentioned evidence of same-sex sexual relationships in Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Burkina Faso and Benin.

It is helpful for Africans to know about ancient practices such as Mossi kings’ sexual relations with their pages and marriages between women in Dahomey, he said.

“Knowing historical truths lets us avoid unhistorical lies,” he said.

Awondo has a doctorate in political sociology and medical anthropology from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris. A translation of his interview with Cameroonian journalist Eric O. Lembembe appears below.

Lembembe is a leader of the Cameroonian Foundation For AIDS (CAMFAIDS), an association with the goal of promoting and protecting human rights.

I think ya'll are super dope but I wish you would be even doper by calling out theesatisfation for playing michfest. I haven't heard a peep from ya'll.

Mon, 20 May 2013 16:58:00 -0400

Sarcasm was buy one get one free today at the store. We stocked up.

A couple of (not really)shamey things:

1. (not really) shame on us ‘cause despite our rocking with them in TO for pride in late June and generally being their friends we didn’t know they were playing Michfest. We should be keeping better track of where our international music friends play sets.

2. (not really)shame on us for not being plugged into Michfest at ALL. Once we understood Michfest to be anti-trans *WE* chucked up the deuce. Basically any talk about Michfest probably got washed out by more accessible, meaningful community gatherings not rife with antiquated separatism and monotone diversity.

On to TheeSatisfaction — are they going in solidarity with transwomen? Are they planning to speak up on stage? Do they have the information they need to make their decisions about performing Michfest? Are they plugged into the political implications of Michfest? Are they planning to sing a song about a genderless mandyke who sips peaceflowers and appreciates the safe space Michfest creates around sexual-identity (ie., will they let their sarcastic, subversive feathers fly)? The answer to all of these questions is: We don’t know. So before we reach the next level of dopeness-to-you we’re going to go ahead and do what you didn’t. We’re going to reserve judgement, not make hasty conclusions, reach out, share our position and ask questions.

And frankly, we’re not going to do it publicly. Loving conversations meant to challenge friends and specific people aren’t for you.

You could’ve articulated this a number of ways but it’s actually great that you phrased your statement just like this. It wasn’t a question or a concern. It displays a type of ownership over how you think WE should handle this.

Does that sound like the way community is effectively and lovingly built, by carrot-sticking your ultra approval? Nah. But good looking out on our homies. We’ll def be in touch.

Hi Bklynboihood! How is Genesis doing? I haven't heard much about her.

Ayo! Gen is doing great! She sent a message to the universe here (on our Bois Will Be Bois Blog) back in January. Her art is growing, her reach is growing and we’re excited for her journey :). -the bois
