AN ETHICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HOMOSEXUALITY AMONG THE AFRICAN PEOPLE
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 12
Abstract
It is sad to note that the culture of homosexualism which is a form of sexual perversity has enveloped the world and it has become a canker worm eating into every fabric of society and leaving in its trail tales of woes as it has negatively impacted the lives of not only those involved in the act, but has brought about a negative image for the Church who is suppose to be a harbinger of hope for the world. Interestingly, the Church is enmeshed in series of contradicting controversies which has dented the image of the Church and as such, she is losing grip over the essential responsibility she has over the spiritual as well as the social lives of the people whom she is to cater for. Consequently, the issue of homosexuality has become a cancer that is eating into the live of the Church with the ordination of gay bishops and the recognition given to the group by various peoples and governments. It is in this light that the paper delved into the response of the African people on the issue claiming that homosexuality is unAfrican and it is culturally unacceptable. The paper posited that homosexuality is unethical and unnatural. Therefore, it should be condemned in strong terms.
