L’exemple de l’Afrique du Sud a interpellé la conscience de plusieurs membres de la société civile dans d’autres pays africains, surtout les pays de l’Afrique Australe.
Cependant, les homosexuels, soucieux de leur condition et conscients des inégalités sociales basées sur l’orientation sexuelle des individus, ont décidé d'être maîtres de leur propre devenir. Ils se constituent en associations pour lutter contre les violations de leurs droits individuels. En 1990, le vent de démocratie qui a interpellé la conscience des Africains à faire respecter leurs libertés individuelles, entre autres, a aussi favorisé l'émergence des associations de lutte pour les droits des personnes homosexuelles. La plus vieille association en date est la Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ), fondée en 1990 (Epprecht, 1998). Elle était d’abord une association de Blancs mais avec les taux élevés de personnes homosexuelles noires infectées par le SIDA, l'association a commencé à s’occuper aussi des besoins des homosexuels de race noire.
La lutte contre les inégalités sociales en Afrique du Sud a ouvert le champ à la lutte contre toutes formes de discriminations y compris celles basées sur l’orientation sexuelle. En 1990, Simon Nkoli et Beverly Ditsie, deux militants homosexuels noirs ont initié la première marche de la fierté gay dans les rues de Johannesburg où Noirs et Blancs, dans les mêmes rangs défilaient ensemble pour manifester leur fierté et pour revendiquer leurs droits.

Writer Profile
Joel Nana
I am a Cameroonian LGBTI rights activist.
I believe that we all are born equal.
And i am sure it was so before, somehow some people decided some day of what should be normal, what
should be moral and what should be the truth, ignoring that the world is diverse and that in a world of diversity, equality comes first.

An issue worth taking into consideration Bemoute serge Mario | Dec 27th, 2007
My brother the issue you raised is worth being discussing in africa. People will say that the practice was found centuries ago here but i will say hat it does not take the dimension it has now. Africa is prone to values than vices so we are inviting brothers and sisters of the continent not to be embarqued into this practice which corrupt human being.
