Many have asked before "who do we know as black people that is wrong to have homosexual relationships" - at least one of you have asked me find scripture from an african religion that forbids such conduct. I had the info, but I needed to dig around for it. As the topic is a closed one for me, I dont keep the "proof" readily handy.

This scriptures or Odu are from Ifa the manifestation of God's wisdom and teachings as personified and recorded by the Yoruba of Nigeria, passed on to mankind through the Prophet/Priest Orunmila (who coincedently taught Buddha in his early years).
Odu are usually considered more accurate than say Bible or Quron verses (no offense) because they can not only be verified in daily living, but anyone can seek divination and regardless of the source or diviner - the scripture should hold its validity in the findings provided. I Ching and Joytish, as well as other forms of divination protect the sacred nature of other scriptures in a similiar fashion. Because of this way a person doesnt have to blindly trust the word of anyone's opinion or strong assertion or sermon, but rather can have the moral dictate checked for himself. Of course many avoid the risk of asking, so that they can be afforded the priviledge to live in ignorance. In any case, you are empowered now with a truly African source to base your opinions.

Odu is considered the living word & unfailing wisdom of God.

It is wrong to make love while standing
(subtle reference to men being with each other)
