| Popis: |
Religious leaders are often associated with the politics of homo- and transphobia in Africa and other parts of the world. However, the picture is more complex than that and more nuanced analyses are required. This briefing article draws attention to the emergence of efforts to engage with and understand African religious leaders also as agents of LGBTIQ inclusion, specifically in East Africa. We highlight several initiatives in this field, identify key actors involved, and outline approaches and strategies that have been developed in Kenya and Uganda. We discuss this recent shift with reference to broader debates regarding religious leaders as agents of progressive social change, and to the development strategies in which such efforts are embedded. Overall, this briefing article will showcase creative and dynamic strategies, tactics, and networks that start to challenge dominant narratives around religion and sexuality in East Africa. |
