There's yet another trick to LGBTQ and Religion that makes them two of a kind.
Coming out of the closet is a way to get you to demand some rights and respect and forget and disconnect from who you primarily are: African.
Same game already been played and ran on us with religion and many other identities. For example, being Christian hasn't given us any better rights. African Christians are treated the same as African Atheists, African Muslims, etc. But yet, we still love to wear our religious identity and declare it to the world. We allow religion to separate us from other Africans.
Don't think for a minute that you can pledge your allegiance to an LGTBQ identity and that is going to put you in a better category than being African. The White LGBTQ are still viewed as better than you.
How often do the LGBTQ and Religion-minded go around declaring they are African?
Come out of the closet Black People and Be African First!
Stop falling for the tricks of the enemy and okie doke.
Religious freedom and sexual orientation freedom is all good for whoever; however, when it interferes with focusing on being African First & Foremost, it is best to keep all other identities quiet and practice them at home, at least until we achieve the unity we need and have strengthened ourselves.
We already have enough problems trying to get past and over political identities, country identities and the basic male and female gender identities. These are just a few of several more identities we allow to come between us. This is why we need to put all of them back on the down low and quit wearing them out front and proclaiming them as who we are. We are African. End of Story.

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani
