We say it here all the time on the sexuality blog in response to the hateful and very inaccurate statement that homosexuality and queerness is some scourge brought in by either by colonialists or post-colonial, tv crazed, godless white men looking to ‘corrupt’ our ‘culture’: There were always Gay/Queer people in Africa, get over it...
