"It seems the Africans could FAR exceed 70% homophobes as compared to the voting blacks in California." If so, it just about confirms that this is a cultural trend. On "primitive societies" fostering homophobia: I'd avoid the idea, as homophobia is far from primitive. What we are in fact talking about is modern cultures that have not "caught up" with the pro-gay agenda for various reasons. In most "primitive" cultures (read: before the influence of - in no historically competent order - land-owning agriculture, development of nation states, Judeo-Christian religious morality, western culture, the scientific model, etc), you will find that things such as homosexuality and sexuality itself were hardly thought of. We may study homosexuality as a phenomenon now, and in this sense, the way that we tell its history is inherently revisionist. If you look hard enough, you will find even recent or present examples of tolerance (lesbianism, sodomy, boy-loving) on the African continent, in the history and anthropology. Morocco is one recent example of a culture where BL (once?) went on unchecked. |
