Human Rights Theory vis-a-vis LGBTQ2S+ Culture in Africa: A Philosophical Reflection
Abstract
This research aims at locating the offshoot of the 20th century sexual revolution, LGBT+ sexual deviation, within the context of human rights in Africa. This chapter argued that human rights hinge on the individualistic norm and as such can readily find cultural justification in the West. However, since it could be said that communalism has been Africa's traditional status quo, to that extent LGBT+ is a cultural anachronism. This chapter has posited that to subscribe to the perceived logicality in hinging LGBT+ on the human rights dictates is to legitimise cultural imperialism. The author has further asserted that the Westernisation of LGBT+ in Africa is, amongst others, one of the regrettable imports that renders the one way traffic called globalisation already suspect. To achieve this, the author employed critical analysis and the dialectical method as methods for this research.
