It's all in the Mind. If you believe that you are gay, then you will become gay. If you believe that you are straight, then you will become straight. It's all in the Mind. There is no devil expect the one running around your heart. The world without is a reflection of the world within. Listen to your Spirit and not to the desire of your flesh. Seek the Truth and the Kingdom of Heaven. Your flesh will do anything in its power to keep you away from the Truth.

Blessing to Africa.

Thanks for starting this discussion and allowing it to continue. I'm an American woman who identifies as bisexual and I studied abroad (2005) in Tanzania and worked in Ghana (2006). I'm very open about my sexuality in the US, even when it is difficult. When I've dated women, I hold hands in public the way I would if I were with a man.

In Tanzania and Ghana however, I had to remain in the closet. At first, I thought there was a chance that I could be open about my sexuality, but I soon realized that for my own safety, it was not a good idea. While I was studying at the University of Dar es Salaam, I had one class in which the professor reminded the students that, "There are no homosexuals in Tanzania, but if there were we would stone them." The class erupted into cheers. Despite this hostility, I did meet people that I knew were gay, and there was a shared understanding between us. I also was able to have good conversations with some of my Tanzanian and Ghanaian friends about homosexuality, and the fact that it's actually not a deviant lifestyle. The open mindedness that I encountered in some people gives me a great deal of hope.

It's a shame to be an african. Let me explain why why should we waste time conserving foreign ideals that owners themselves are abandoning? It irks me to see how rubbish can africa remains. I don't see any problems with people having sex of whatever imagination so long it doesn't affect me. I am a christian who believe in the omnipotent GOD who can stamp out what he thinks is sin. Who are we to suggest for god and for others what is more godly? Africa is full of failures most of them blighted with imported religions, who have failed to run their own lives yet they want to run lives of others. That's why we're so ravaged. We commit all our energies on trivial issues ie. Some people's sexuality while commit serious business in prayers to alien gods who can't even hear our vernacular prayers and incantations, or worse still, we're so black that our desperation can't be seen by these gods.
