African attitudes towards sexuality, LGTQ+ stuff, and American blacks

In general I don't like to group people together and trow them in a bucket with a sticker on it. Doesn't matter if it's about colour gender or what not.

So I'm not a fan of this bucket LGTBQABC+++ or something. It's like a gay person automatically lives in the same world as a transgender. So if not a fan of supporting under age sex hormone therapy, would somehow be also meaning having something against gay people because it's all LGBTQ issues. I find this nonsense.

About the topic at hand. I choose to not behave like a pastor waving fingers on other peoples culture and feel morally superior. Africa is a different continent. A huge one at that with plenty of different cultures within. There might be places that are homophobic, there might be places that are not. It's tricky to generalize when the place is so freaking huge.

I also don't understand what this 'black culture' is supposed to be. Does an Aboriginal have the same culture as a Zulu? Just because they both have dark skin?

I think that black people have taken these attitudes to a degree from their african descendants and thus we have their intolerance.  But nobody will say anything about it because of black people's historical legacy of oppression.   

If anything, black American LGBTQ intolerance is inherited from the Bible thumping southern U.S. rather than their African counterparts. Common mistake of conflating black Americans with native Africans.
