The inexplicable phenomenon of people with “the strange sexuality” was never an issue, nor were they mocked and abhorred in ancient Africa. Though this crucial knowledge seems almost forgotten, LGBT persons were once culturally described as physical beings with “Two Spirits” in old African societies.
Today, with the modern world employing every other yardstick but the ancient cultural denominators of spiritual vibrations to make sense of the deeper purpose of the existence of these unique souls on earth, non heterosexual persons, aka LGBT+, are now, to a large extent, classified with a subtle hint of ridicule. Dehumanizing phrases like,” The confused people with a thousand alphabets”, or ” It’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve”, are standard derogatory remarks
In countries where minds have been heavily muddled and reprogrammed via modern religion, any sight of the harmless LGBT+ alphabets, trigger nothing but disgust and aggression, and often times in climates overran by religious zealots, government backed mob violence can be expected
Sexual minorities regardless of skin color, are the target of opportunists and the ill informed worldwide; and sadly where Black ” Two Spirits” are concerned, encounters, depending on location, could often turn deadly.
The alarming belief by many is that sexuality falls within the realms of “choice and preference”: Azu Ekpo
