Fascinating study of homosexuality in sub-Saharan Africa. Clearly shows up those who claim homosexuality is unAfrican.

Interesting consideration of different types of homosexuality: those based on old/young, those where one partner adopts a life usually identified with the other sex, and those where there is an element of equality. Also interesting as marriage tends to be viewed as compulsory therefore an element of bisexuailty is required.
