about

Prior to European colonization, we see far different, more relaxed attitudes towards sexual orientation and gender identity. As far back as 2400 BC tombs have been excavated in ancient Egypt with two men’s bodies Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep embracing each other as lovers. In addition to their acceptance of same sex relationships, ancient Egyptians not only acknowledge a third gender, but venerate it. Many deities were portrayed androgynously, and goddesses such as Mut (goddess of motherhood) and Sekmeht (goddess of war) are often depicted as women with erect penises. Many African countries did not see gender as a binary in the way that their European colonizers did. In no African country (prior to colonization) do we see any persecution of LGBT individuals because of their sexuality, nor any anti-LGBT laws.
