So African Christians are more funked up than American Fundi Christians....or do they just have more power? Or is this more of a cultural thing?
In this case, it is mostly as Afleitch says. The African Christians weren't particularly radically homophobic until American missionaries and priests came preaching fire and brimstone within the past twenty years and starting blaming teh gheys for famines and birth defects and witchcraft and terrorism and the Holocaust, and made listening to their speeches a prerequisite to receiving church-provided aid. African Catholics are still not all that radical, so this is somewhat surprising (but Ghana is mostly Protestant). Most of the Protestants have been converted by radical American pastors (even if they remain nominally Anglican or whatever).
