To anyone reading this, LGBTQ Africans aren’t an “agenda” or “Western influence” we are your neighbors. Your children. Your colleagues. We are Africans, fully and completely, and we deserve to live without fear. We’re naturally born like this, no law shall stop or erase our existence. #lgbtq

This is what makes being so human so hard: bigots who project their own fears and desires onto other groups, thinking that erasing them will end suffering. The fact is that these prejudices *cause* much of the suffering.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
