    Not enough people are aware of colonialism’s role in spreading queerphobia across the globe. When I try to explain it, they look at me like I’m making it up.

      Ethiopian here, Ethiopia was never colonized but unfortunately we’ve managed to be incredibly anti-lgbtq all on our own.

      Personally, I blame our long history of Christianity and Islam which both carry anti-lgbtq beliefs.
