The idea that African homosexuality was a colonial import is a myth | Bernardine Evaristo | Comment is free | theguardian.com (via qbits)

Homophobia is a colonial import. The only faith or culture that opposed homosexuality were the Abrahamic religions; Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. The spread of all three, particularly the Christians of Europe who colonized much of the world, ended up spreading that way of thinking. Countries not colonized, such as China, Japan, Thailand, etc. ended up adopting such beliefs when they westernized.

This is interesting. I read an article recently that proposed that anti-homosexuality (for lack of better word; I know sexuality was viewed differently in ancient times) religious codes were only really prevalent in Abrahamic religions, and this made the anti-homosexuality behavior deviant by the norms of the old world.
