    there is nothing shocking about violent homophobia in Africa, unfortunately. it is a very common mindset on that continent. truly, the world is largely hostile to queer folks. they want us silenced and repressed or dead.

        Nigeria has both a large Christian and a large Muslim population. This is an abrahamitic problem, not just a European one.

            Patriarchy, Authoritarianism, Capitalism, all of this shit combined.

            and too many people are too invested in the system to change anything.
