Can someone of African descent...

Please explain this to me? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34331632/ns/world_news-africa/ What is it about dark-skinned cultures that are homophobic in the EXTREME? We saw this in the United States in California a short time ago when blacks, as an ethnic group, voted against gay marriage overwhelmingly relative to their numbers (about 70%, if I remember correctly, whereas the general population was against it by just over 50%). Africans, whether Christian, Muslim, or pagan seem to be FANATICALLY homophobic... anyone got any ideas why? This seems to be a racial characteristic rather than a merely religious, cultural, or even ethnic stance. This curious fucking mind would like to know... (The reason this is on-topic is because the article refers to a common African belief that homosexuals RECRUIT kids to become homosexual, just like the religious conservative nut-jobs in America do -- tying homosexuality to pedophilia. Also, I remember reading a story many years ago how a white missionary was skinned alive and forced to run on a barbwired track strewn with glass shards until dead -- as punishment for having sex with a native teen boy. The boy's only punishment was castration and a beating, heh.) Nickless
