BLACK ZIMBABWEANS IN THEIR OWN WORDS:
"[My father] knew about my [gay] relationship... He wasn't angry with
me. Instead, he said it was normal in our society for men to sleep
together, but only up to a certain age. It would be possible for
some young men until they had served in the king's army. Then they
would be given wives by their elders. Ndebele society is a fairly
conservative society such that roles are defined for every age group
and every gender." - Ndebele Contributor, _Sahwira: Being Gay and
Lesbian in Zimbabwe_, 1995
