A New Anthology of Rhymes from Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and also Transgender Africans

Have a look at this require a fascinating new compilation task led by Abayomi Animashaun out of the College of Wisconsin-Oshkosh:

Numerous African nations think about homosexuality unethical. In some, homosexuals go through corporal punishment, imprisonment, or death, just due to their sexual preference. These hateful acts are further galvanized by such mottos as \"to be homosexual is un-African.\"

With this anthology, we decline this slogan and all acts of aggressiveness versus members of LGBT areas in Africa. \"We preserve that to be homosexual is African.\"

We are calling for rhymes by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals residing in Africa as well as in the Diaspora. The poems might focus on loss, youth, physical violence, food, discrimination, love, fruits, disease, movement, strife, etc. In other words, poems on any subject are welcome-- as well as in any type of form. The only demand is that each poem has to be of high merit.

We choose unpublished rhymes. Rhymes can be in any language; nevertheless, translations need to be offered in English. If original poems are accepted, they will be released alongside the translations. If a translator is used, the writer needs to suggest exactly how credit score needs to be acknowledged. Please send no greater than 5 rhymes.
