Take it from someone who's lived there. Africans are very sexy people. They're at it here, there and everywhere. You can see their love of what Private Eye calls "Ugandan affairs" in the high birth rates and the high incidence of HIV/AIDS.
But gays and lesbians (etc etc) should be aware and beware. Africans are very uncivilized and still living in the dark ages as well as the dark continent. Most Africans are dead set against homosexuality. And most African countries retain the old colonial laws against buggery, bestiality and other crimes against nature.
This is particularly true in Uganda, where a phalanx of evangelical Protestant missionaries and militant Muslims are leading the charge against same-sex immorality. Homosexuals are often isolated, discriminated against at work and in AIDS treatment centres, sometimes even lynched -- this according to a report in this week's Economist.
Now the Ugandan parliament is considering a tough new law against homosexuality and homosexuals. If the law goes through unamended, "aggravated homosexuality" will be attract the death penalty. Those found guilty will truly be well hung.
The love that dare not speak its name will be just that. Even talking about homosexuality will be punishable by a term in the crowbar hotel. Deviant practices such as anal sex [annual sex? ed.] will be punished, as will failing to snitch on people, gay or straight, who indulge.
Once again we see that Africans are not yet ready to take their place amongst enlightened people. Protests are planned for San Francisco and Toronto. Get your rainbow flag out.
