DAKAR - Several hundred protesters rallied Sunday in Dakar to demand that homosexuality be made a crime in Senegal, according to AFP journalists. It is not illegal to identify as gay in the deeply conservative Muslim nation, but same-sex activity is already punishable by up to five years in prison. Religious leaders and civil society figures addressed hundreds of jubilant protesters, who had gathered in a central square for the rally organised by And Samm Jikko Yi, a civil society collective that promotes "correct values". Ousmane Kouta, a representative of a student religious group, told the crowd that Senegal is a country of faith and values. "It is homophobic and will remain so forever," he said, to cheers and chanted slogans. Aminata Diallo, a member of an association for young Muslims, told AFP that she attended the rally to protest homosexuality and demand its criminalisation. Other protesters were more extreme. "We will kill them, or we will burn them alive. We'll never accept homosexuality," said 56-year-old municipal official Demba Dioup. Senegal's government has repeatedly ruled out legalising homosexuality. Senegal's President Macky Sall has previously stressed that gay people are not ostracised in the nation of 16 million however, and that the same-sex activity ban reflects cultural norms. Consensual same-sex relations are legal in 21 of 54 African countries, according to a 2019 report by the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association. Source

Namibia is reportedly making moves to officially abolish its colonial-era sodomy laws from its books by the end of this year. According to local news publication Windhoek Observer, the move has been several years in the making. In 2018, the country’s Law Reform and Development Commission (LRDC) began a project of identifying obsolete laws “that need to be done away with, amended, or repealed.” On Monday, the LRDC submitted a report on its criminal codes outlawing same-sex intimacy to Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab, who plans on a proposal to the Cabinet striking down the laws in two weeks. Namibia’s anti-sodomy codes are a legacy of Roman-Dutch common law, similar to many other nations that are left with homophobic statutes imposed upon them by their former colonizers. Although there’s no direct criminalization of same-sex sexual activity on the books via the country’s laws, 2004’s Criminal Procedure Act outlines the requirement providing evidence of sodomy in prosecution. While the precedent for enforcing these laws exists, the laws are rarely used, according to the report submitted Monday. Between 2003 and 2013, 115 sodomy cases were reported to the police, resulting in 64 arrests, according to national newspaper The Namibian. The report also claims that the law is “very likely unconstitutional,” as it violates the rights of LGBTQ+ people and creates a culture of intolerance. According to the U.K. publication Gay Times, Dausab said the abolishment of the outmoded statutes is a way for the south African country “to move in a direction that will make all Namibians feel included” and “make all Namibians feel they are members of the Namibian House.” But while pushing for greater inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community, she also denied the existence of state-sponsored homophobia. “Homophobia, transphobia, any phobic tendencies are not state-sanctioned,” Dausab said. “But we must allow people to have their own views. What we should not allow is that there is any active or passive discrimination against any segment of our society.” Omar van Reenen, founder of the Namibia Equal Rights Movement (NERM), pushed back on this claim. In comments reported by the website Afro News, he asserted that it was “disingenuous to not acknowledge that former president Sam Nujoma told police officers to arrest, deport and imprison the LGBTQ+ people.” “It is sad to not acknowledge that former justice minister Albert Kawana was the person responsible for not removing sexual orientation from the labour act,” he added, referencing a labor law that provides protections for Namibian workers. Still, van Reenen welcomed the abolishment of the laws, while also calling for greater governmental accountability and for the passage of an LGBTQ+ equality bill. While things are looking up for Namibia’s LGBTQ+ population, circumstances remain grim further north in Ghana. In February, an LGBTQ+ community center in Accra, the country’s capital, was raided by police, forcing it to shut down after only a month of operation. The following month, Ghanaian lawmakers introduced a bill that would criminalize LGBTQ+ advocacy, with President Nana Akufo-Addo indicating that he would sign it into law if passed. Despite the fact that this bill is not yet law, 21 LGBTQ+ activists were arrested for “unlawful assembly” in the city of Ho last week and are currently being held without bail. This most recent incident has attracted international attention. On Tuesday, the U.S. State Department issued a statement to the LGBTQ+ news publication Washington Blade on Tuesday in which it claimed that the Biden administration is “monitoring the situation closely.” “We urge national leaders in Ghana to uphold constitutional human rights protections and to adhere to international human rights obligations and commitments for all individuals,” the statement reads. “This includes members of the LGBTQI+ community. We call on all Ghanaians to respect the provisions under Ghana’s constitution that guarantee freedom of speech, expression, and peaceful assembly. Source- 1 reply

Come on RuPaul’s Drag Race fans, let’s get six-ening! Less than a year after All Stars 5 crowned Shea Couleé a winner, another returning queen is ready to assume her throne. Earlier today, Drag Race All Stars announced the lineup for Season 6 which premieres June 24 on Paramount+. The new season looks to be a ray of sunshine… literally. The color theme for this year’s cast photo is creamsicle realness. (Someone run Tina Burner her check. While you’re at it, make sure Kacey Musgraves is a guest judge this season, because it’s giving Golden Hour.) Off the bat, the cast appears promising. One could even say they’re... shining bright. (Okay, I’ll stop with the sun puns. They’re burning your eyes.) Season 6 appears to have no clear frontrunner, which is a refreshing change of pace. Plus, Drag Race OGs are equally matched with newer cycle queens. Here’s the lineup: A’Keria C. Davenport (Season 11) Eureka (Season 9, 10) Ginger Minj (Season 7, All stars 2) Jan (Season 12) Jiggly Caliente (Season 4) Pandora Boxx (Season 2, All Stars 1) Ra’Jah O’Hara (Season 11) Scarlet Envy (Season 11) Serena ChaCha (Season 5) Silky Nutmeg Ganache (Season 11) Kylie Sonique Love (Season 2) Trinity K. Bonet (Season 6) Yara Sofia (Season 2, All Stars 1) Once again, there are returning players who are returning again: Pandora Boxx and Yara Sofia both competed on a debut season and All Stars 1, while Ginger Minj returned for the first time in All Stars 2.

Daddy Freeze further added that a disciple of Jesus, Peter once called him "Lucifer" which means "bringer of light". He wrote; I declare to you today that praying in the name or title ‘Lucifer’ is more potent than praying in the name your colonial masters gave your savior. - Jesus has NO meaning in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin or English, while Lucifer’ on the other hand means ‘light bringer’ as used in the original Latin scriptures quoted below, correctly translated from the Greek word ‘φωσφ?ρος’ which has the 100 percent exact same meaning as Lucifer. - Below, you can clearly see a well documented instance of Peter calling Christ ‘Lucifer’ in the Latin Bible and ‘φωσφ?ρος’ in the Greek Bible. The original language of the New Testament is GREEK and to properly understand scripture, you can’t neglect it. - The Greek and Latin bibles were written more than 1,600 years before the grossly erroneous biblical mistranslation called the King James Version was declared as the ‘Authorized Version’. - ? 2 Peter 1:19 ?

In Nigeria, many Nigerian parents disown their children or subject them to very harsh and dehumanizing treatment after they find out about their sexuality. But the 26-year-old graduate of computer science said he is still in shock about the way his parents reacted after they found his gay porn online. Speaking to NoStrings, he said; “I was very shocked and still am. I was also very scared when my mother called and started telling me about how my father and her saw me misbehaving with another man in a video online. Before I could explain myself, they cut in and told me that they wanted to see me” Ikechukwu who finished from Abia State University three years ago with no job said he was frustrated, disappointed, and broke, hence, the reason why he dabbled into gay porn with the hope that he’ll be able to make some money to sustain himself. “I got into acting gay porn through a friend. I was so broke, frustrated, and disappointed in myself and so desperately wanted to do something to survive and keep myself going. Things have become so hard now in the country, and as a jobless young man, it was even so difficult for me. I couldn’t turn to my parents because that’ll further make me feel like a total failure. Even though acting porn wasn’t as lucrative and sustainable as I had thought, it did help me pay some bills”. During his days at the University, Ikechukwu learned how to cut hair, and was so good at it, but after he left school and moved to another state, it became difficult for him to find new clients. He also tried looking for a job and sent in several applications to several organizations that never called him back. Also, the few who called did not get back to him after the interviews. However, things took a positive turn for Ikechukwu after he received a call from his parents who afterward, decided to help him start up a business. “I still cannot believe it. I was thinking they’ll scold and condemn me. I know my dad to be very harsh, and they are both very religious. I was even thinking they’ll talk about my sexuality, but instead, they only asked me why I was acting porn and I explained to them how things were not going well for me and how broke I was. They blamed me for not telling them, and then after a week or so, gave me money to set up my saloon. Now I am a proud owner of a classy hair salon. The business is still growing, but I am so grateful to them” He said with excitement. Source

Hello Ladies, What better day to start your journey of healing and wholeness. So.... I had an epiphany the other day and figured it would be useful to share it with you. We all go through life carrying an inner child who sometimes is broken and plagued by a variety of unresolved issues which ultimately frame how we react, love, expect to be loved and express emotion. In this case, the first step to healing is to acknowledge your inner child and to recognize that she's hurting and to understand where she's hurting. To pinpoint exactly what the hurt is e.g. feeling that she didn't have enough love or acceptance growing up, feeling the need to always please to feel loved or earn whatever love she gets, feeling inadequate because a parent figure didn't step up, feeling closed-off because she was raised in an environment that didn't allow for expression etc... I don't want you to dismiss your inner child or how she feels. To move forward and to be whole, you need to soothe her pain. You need to close your eyes and see her in your mind's eye. You need to apologise to her for how she feels and how she had nothing to do with the non-acceptance. How it is not her fault and how she must forgive those who hurt her because if people knew better, they would act better. You need to kiss her and embrace her tightly while telling her that you love her, that you are proud of her for being so strong. You need to kiss her and hug her intensely so that she breaksdown in your arms. Then you need to tell her to stop expecting love and acceptance from those figures (parental or otherwise) in her past because it may never come. You need to help her accept that situation because it is only after acceptance and letting go of those expectations and cravings of love from sources that cannot give it that healing can truly begin. Still holding her close, you need to tell her all about what amazing things you've been up to and how there is so much to look forward to. You then look her in the eye and kiss her one more time. This simple exercise of self love brings with it fresh perspective that will allow you not expect another to fill an unfillable void. instead, you will be in a place where you simply allow another (a partner or any other) to love you how they know how without projecting unmet needs and expectations on them. Selah 📿🖤🏳️🌈

Kehlani, who has long identified as queer and bisexual, proclaimed herself a lesbian via a TikTok post today (April 22). In her video, the singer and songwriter said, “I am gay, gay, gay. … I finally know I’m a lesbian.” The Oakland-born artist joked about coming out to her family as a lesbian. “We know, duh,” she says was her family’s reaction. The news won’t come as much of a surprise to fans either. As a member and advocate of the LGBTQ community, Kehlani who goes by she/they pronouns, had comments about their sexuality previously, writing in a now-deleted tweet: “I felt gay always insisted there was still a line drawn as to which ‘label’ of human I was attracted when I really just be walking around thinking ERRYBODY FINE.” However, she hadn’t come out to her family at that point. But she had also posted a video where she said, “Never have I identified as a lesbian.” Eagle-eyed fans had noticed Kehlani drop the news earlier this month via a short Instagram live video where she confessed, “You wanna know what’s new about me? I finally know I’m a lesbian!” In that same video, she adds, “I just wanted y’all to know that everyone knew but me.” The 25-year-old has a two-year-old daughter, Adeya, and just last year released her second album, “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t,” via Atlantic Records. The album featured guest appearances by Tory Lanez, Jhené Aiko, Lucky Daye and James Blake, among others. Watch the video (via PopCrave) below Source

LGBTQ+ South Africans Demand Justice After Hate Crime Wave
FlyJ posted a topic in Latest News and Gist
Lonwabo Jack, a 22-year-old gay man, was murdered in Cape Town, South Africa on Sunday, according to police. Jack, who was out with his friends celebrating his birthday, was sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in Nyanga, a town in the Western Cape, a township home to nearly 58,000 people. His father, Mzwabantu, remembered Jack as a “nice kid” who was “always surrounded by his friends and liked fun and good times.” “He was a quiet kid and would not say some of the things he would experience because he felt like he could handle them just like any other man,” he told the South African news website Independent Online. “However, when he told us that he was raped we knew as his parents that we had to take a stand.” “It’s heartbreaking to give birth to a child and also bury them,” Mzwabantu added. A suspect in Lonwabo’s murder was reportedly detained following a police investigation. A representative for the South African Police Service did not identify a suspect but claimed in comments to the website Eyewitness News that a 17-year-old individual “was apprehended early this morning.” “He is expected to appear in the Athlone Magistrates Court once he has been charged with murder,” said media liaison officer Noloyiso Rwexana. The escalation of hate crimes against LGBTQ+ South Africans has prompted concern and outcry from local LGBTQ+ community members and organizations. According to the U.K. LGBTQ+ publication PinkNews, Jack is believed to be the fourth LGBTQ+ person murdered in the country in less than a month. LGBTQ+ advocates led a Friday protest at the Houses of Parliament in Cape Town. Protesters demanded that the country’s government take action to address the surge of anti-LGBTQ+ violence and to specifically call for justice in the case of Andile “Lulu” Ntuthela, a 40-year-old gay man who was recently murdered in the Eastern Cape. As PinkNews reported, Ntuthela’s body was discovered in a shallow grave 11 days after he was killed. The suspect, who is 28 years old, has not been named in media reports. The group also delivered a memorandum to parliament, in which they called for increased government action in the face of these hate crimes, as well as for harsher punishments for offenders and for the development of long-term solutions. “We are calling for justice for Lulu and and for other queers who have suffered at the hands of this country in the most brutal ways,” said Kamva Gwana, a representative of the group Justice for Lulu, in comments cited by South Africa’s News 24. “We want hate crimes to be dealt with. We believe the police service is queerphobic and we are done begging the public and the government for change.” Source -

Welcome to For fags sake! Here, you have a safe space to be a faggot in Nigeria. All members of the LGBTQ community are welcome. I make videos on queer issues while being fabulous. Don't bother being homophobic, I've heard all you have to say and honestly, I don't care! In this video, I and Matthew react to a video of a man claiming to have gone through gay deliverance. It was important to debunk this myth pushed by Christians and reiterate that being a homosexual isn’t something to be delivered of.

Heterosexual Nigerian women speak out about being married to gay men
FlyJ posted a topic in Latest News and Gist
In societies where homosexuals face severe social stigma and potential criminal penalties under harsh laws, gay and bisexual men often turn to marrying straight women either to hide their own orientation or meet social and family expectations. Queer men in Nigeria often say they choose to marry women to preserve the privileges that are afforded to them when they “pass” as heterosexual. Phillip, a Lagos-based Nigerian bisexual, says his job at a top tech consultancy firm would be at risk if he were known to be queer. “I love men and if I am given the opportunity I will choose to marry a man. But how can I even do that? Everything is on the line here. I will lose everything including my precious job. In fact, I’ll be jailed and humiliated. I can’t stand all of that, that’s why I am going to marry a woman, and of course, she doesn’t have to know,” Phillip says. But while queer men face extreme social pressures to conform and marry women, this can put their female partners in difficult situations as well. To explore these struggles, five straight Nigerian women who married gay and bisexual men shared their stories. “He deceived me” Judith, a mother of two teenage boys, says though it wasn’t entirely bad being married to her ex-husband, whom she described as “loving and caring.” But she admits that it was really painful to discover that her husband lied to her throughout their marriage. “What pains me is that he deceived me. He loved men, yet married me. After I found out about him and his young lover, he admitted that he never loved me, but liked me and that he won’t be able to change,” Judith says. “We were married for 15 years. I don’t think I will be able to forgive him even though he was a good man and took care of us. He is a very loving and caring man. I will admit that about him,” she says. “Eager to change” Not every woman who is married to a gay or bisexual man is completely oblivious to his sexual orientation. Elisa, whose marriage did not endure a full year, says she was aware her ex-husband was gay. “I knew about who he is from the very beginning. We spoke about it several times, and he sounded like someone who was also eager to change,” Elisa says. “But it all crashed after I caught him crying one night that he was tired of denying his true nature. He said he was no longer happy. “I tried everything, even seeing our pastor, but nothing changed. He became even more miserable and depressed. It was last year that we both decided to go our separate ways after eight months of being married,” she says. “I gave him everything” Due to widespread misconceptions about homosexuality, many believe that being gay is all about a lack of access to sex with women. Victoria, an Enugu-based fashion designer, is one of those who believed so but is now very disappointed and shocked to find out that this is false. “Everything is still a dream to me. I loved him, gave him everything that a good wife gives to her husband, I never cheated on him, not to talk of the numerous times we had sex, yet he chooses to remain in that dirty act. Sleeping with a man like him, so disgusting. It is not easy leaving, but I can’t remain in that marriage” Victoria says. “He only wanted my womb” Some gay and bisexual men find selfish reasons to justify marrying women. Agnes, a 27-year-old banker, says her husband told her that all he wanted was to have kids and the only option was to marry a woman. “I feel completely used. How wicked. He only wanted my womb,” Agnes says. “After three years of being married to that scumbag, he told me he was leaving the marriage and that I wasn’t the kind of woman he wanted. Something was so off, so I had to dig him. To cut the long story short, it turned out he was gay and tired of being with a woman. I exposed him before leaving, and I am sure he will forever regret it.” “All I feel for him is pity” Sometimes, gay and bisexual men are pressured by their families to marry women. Patience, a Lagos-based fruit seller, is in a similar situation. However, she seems to have accepted her situation with some positivity. She says she doesn’t quite blame her husband for not letting her know that he is gay before he proposed, stating that her husband was pressured by his family. “I understand with my husband. He is the only son of his family and they want him to marry so that he can continue the family’s lineage. But I am not happy,” Patience says. “Every time he leaves the house I am afraid. He likes young boys. It was after I caught him sleeping with our house help that I knew. Now all I feel for him is pity. I am going to stay with him because we have a child together and I can’t raise my child without him.” Source
