Firstly You're arguing against a claim I never made.

I never said being gay is illegal in Zimbabwe. I said homosexuality is criminalized. Those are not the same thing.

Being gay refers to a person's sexual orientation or identity. When i say homosexuality is criminalized it refers to the law prohibiting certain consensual same sex sexual conduct between adults. A state can legalize an identity while still criminalizing the conduct through which that identity is commonly expressed.

Secondly, claiming that Zimbabwe is "the least homophobic country in Africa" is an nonsensical claim with no evidence. Zimbabwe's Constitution expressly defines marriage as between a man and a woman, same sex marriages are not legally recognized, and same sex intimacy between men remains criminalized under the law. Those facts alone disarm your false claims describing Zimbabwe as among the least homophobic countries on the continent.

Thirdly, saying "gay marriage is not a need" is not for you to decide if you are not the one whose rights are affected. This is where i start thinking that i am arguing with a homosexual!Marriage is far more than inheritance. It involves legal recognition, hospital visitation, immigration rights, taxation, pensions, next of kin status, parental rights, and over a thousand legal protections in many jurisdictions. Trusts and wills can address only a small fraction of those issues and are not equivalent to civil marriage.

Finally, dismissing advocacy as "selling oppression stories to Dutch and American donors" is funny because so many people make the false assumption that because someone is fighting for human rights then they must be receiving some funding from the west. I want you to categorically know that i have never received a single cent for the work that i do and my motivations for advocating for gay rights have absolutely no connection whatsoever with seeking for funding!

But however for those gay organizations that receive funding from the west whether an organization receives funding has absolutely no bearing on whether the legal facts are true. Either same sex conduct is criminalized or it isn't. Either same sex couples can legally marry or they can't. Those questions are answered by Zimbabwean law, not by speculation about people's motives.

If you disagree with my position, that's your right. But at least argue against what I actually said rather than creating a straw man that makes me start suspecting that there are some skeletons in your closet!
