Quite astute, their colonialization has legacies in the form of the imported vile Victorian homophobia and Christian evangelism.

Are you sure that homophobia wasn't present before the Victorians? It seems par for the course in parochial societies.

In the biggest and most flagrant example of colonialism, India, homophobia was absent before Victorian influence. Even under Muslim rule, India tolerated homosexuality.

There might have been depending on the place, no doubt, but British rule when they imported their law and culture, codified and criminalized what might have been something simply ignored or taboo.

It seems bi-sexuality was tolerated and allowed in most of Africa, but I am wondering about exclusivity.
