This class for countless reasons called my attention, however I always try to deeply get interested in the classes I take.  For example, I ask myself questions that I hope to have an answer to by the end of the semester.  When bloging I chose a certain subject that will make me want to research even more.  

            For this blog, I was wondering how the gay community is treated in Africa.  After reading just ONE article about the gay community in Africa, my mind was blown away.  Being a gay young male in the United States, at times I feel as if I don’t have my freedom, but being compared to the young gay males in Africa I’m much well off then they are.  These gay males are kicked out from their homes, get stones thrown at, and many are afraid to come out so they live a lie, being something they are not.  In Ghana Africa, according to the article Ghana’s Secret Gay Community it is illegal to be gay in Ghana. Heart breaking as it sounds but homosexuals in Ghana can not run to not type of higher power for protecting.  Many gay humans in Ghana according to the article do not come out to each other because they fear that they will bring them out to the community as a gay human. It can be fearful because humans who have come out have scars all over their bodies form being attack by others who do not accept it.  I would really love to interview a young gay African male, who was born and raised in Africa.
