This episode tackles the widespread stereotypes and misconceptions about being gay, from the belief that homosexuality is "un-African" to the dangerous myth that queerness is a "Western influence."I also address harmful assumptions, such as the notion that homosexuality is a choice, that LGBTQIA+ individuals are promiscuous, or that queer individuals can be "fixed" through marriage. Drawing from my personal experiences and larger cultural observations, I highlight the impact of these misconceptions on the lives of queer Africans and emphasize the significance of challenging these narratives. Through this conversation, I hope to encourage critical thinking, dispel myths, and push for a society that values truth over misinformation. This episode is about reclaiming our stories, redefining perceptions, and advocating for a more inclusive world.
