I cannot even believe I typed that question because it should be regarded as totally absurd. Right? But sadly there are still people who walk around imagining that heteronormativity is intrinsic to being African. Bizarre.  Well, about ten years ago I took part in what was a difficult but productive debate about this question hosted by Zeinab Badawi. It featured politicians and various activists. I too was one of the panel members.  I thought it would be useful to re-broadcast that debate so we continue the critical engagement about sex, gender and queer politics
