Is homosexuality really an import affair?

By Atok Dan Baguoot 

“Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run. 

The daily work that goes on, it adds up” As forces of globalization and regionalization are deepening and gaining wider fame in four cardinal points of the earth, another stressful part of it is strengthening its roots and tentacles in societies through vices that are unanimously condemned. Of these vices is homosexuality. It is a practice we all condemn in broad daylight but when the sun goes to rest and the moon and stars begin taking their usual routines, other nocturnal creatures tend to their night duties differently; homo sexuality begins to gain fame at night. 

Some go for homosexuality while others go for bisexuality. In homosexuality, guys and lesbians are active key players whereas, transsexuals play mediatory roles in this kingdom of madness. Transsexual is a combination of bisexual and homosexual. According to the literal meaning of the word homo-sexuality, it has two interdependent meanings of which homo means one or the same, whereas sexuality is a noun of sexual which means the ability to have sex with other sexes using sexual organs. 

It doesn’t always mean having sex with the opposite sex or the same sex but it entirely depends on which course somebody has chosen and that’s why there are rare cases of homosexuality. Biblically and biologically, it is supposed to be between two different sexes in order to have offspring because neither of the same sexes can’t have a child and that is why homosexuality qualifies as an abnormality. 

On rare occasions like in today’s world where human scientists are trying almost everything for the sake of invention, could there be a child between two men or two women who had shared a bed in sex, I don’t know. Curiosity kills the cat. With globalization, we are eating the same pizzas eaten in Tokyo while watching the same Chelsea playing against Manchester United in the UK together with the rest of the world. Likewise, nuances in New York affect us here in our local village in Juba. 

Homosexuality is commonly known as the Western madness but I would wish to differ with us deeply because back in our societies there used to have been cases of such. For example, there are cases where male cow mounting other male and it also goes on with other living thing. Therefore, homosexuality is as old as human history. In our societies cases of homosexuality were widely reported only that the way Africans treated it was different from the west. If homosexuals were legalized and rewarded, today you will wonder to see that their population would even make a county with a sizeable population. It is our cultures and norms which deny the healthy growth of the practice. 

As Juba continues to grow and become a cosmopolitan city, strange practices will crop in a matter less than our political six years transition periods because money will play a greater role in spreading messages after all western billionaires have poured in hell of money into funding homosexual projects globally. Homosexuality is now one of the lucrative projects being funded underground by those who would wish to see it prosper so watch out.

Its network is being intercepted globally even in Juba. Back in our traditional rural setup, elders used to ensure that such a practice is totally concealed in case it surfaces anywhere because it was considered an abomination. In any house where such a thing is reported to have occurred, elders could gather and appeal to ancestral diviners to intervene. 

Ritual offers are held to curse it away. If it occurred among males, it is given special attention unlike that of women; they consider it as live biological theatre where they could discover their self uniqueness. It was traditionally considered malpractice in men yet not knowing that this issue comes with consistent habits especially when one flocks together with the fans of homosexuals. 

Secondly, our strict cultures were ladies stay isolated from young men also aggravated it in the sense that you find young people growing up without knowing application of their different sexual instruments hence; natural sexual feelings tend to make the same sex mess up. In assemblies of men like in the male-dominated armed force, the practice could heighten because long isolation of female partners would make those sexual aggressive go wild and as a result, few could be tempted to bend sexual norms and whenever such persons succeeded in it, they tend to appreciate it and make it as a substitute. Those eating paste of sesame also finds it pleasant to eat sesame of groundnut. 

During our days in Red Army commonly known as Jesh Ahmr, there were cases of big boys trying to molest vulnerable young boys until our officers became tough on those accused of doing that. Lastly, it is the secrecy of our cultures to expose really live situations that homosexuality is today seen as an imported affair; otherwise, it is a practice older than human history.
