Anti-gay hatred is not "natural" in Africa, There is plenty of evidence of its prevalence in African societies  well before the arrival of western missionaries and colonists. It needs to be remembered that US evangelical preachers, with huge financial backing, have been creating  and subsidising   churches there for decades which, like similar ones in the US, even now  are  asserting that same sex love is "unbiblical" and  wealth  is "good."  The "prosperity gospel" . In a financially-deprived society  it is an even more potent doctrine than in the US, where millionaire televangelists boast of their private jets. while speculating what terrors they would enjoy imposing on people like us

Perhaps it is unfair also to note that that some of these same preachers have sometimes been caught in seedy hotels with rent boys. Or indeed women.
