Pa vyaru 55 ivyo vyakumanyikwa na wupu wa United Nations panji African Union panji vyaru vyose viŵiri, wupu wa International Gay and Lesbian Association ukati mu 2015, kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha nkhuheni mu vyaru 34 vya mu Africa. Wupu wa Human Rights Watch ukuti vyaru vinyake viŵiri, Benin na Central African Republic, vikukana yayi kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi pera, kweni vili na malango ghanyake agho ghakususkana na ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi pera. Malango ghanandi agho ghakukanizga kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha ghakaŵako mu nyengo ya ufumu wa Britain.

Ku Benin, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Djibouti, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, na Rwanda, ŵanthu ŵakugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha ŵandaŵikeko mulandu. Ku Angola, Botswana, Cape Verde, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Lesotho, Mozambique, São Tomé na Príncipe, Seychelles, na South Africa, ŵanthu ŵakukana kugwiliskira ntchito mankhwala agha. Mu Novembala 2006, charu cha South Africa chikaŵa chachinkhondi kuzomerezga nthengwa za ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha. Mu vyaru vinkhondi na viŵiri vya mu Africa, muli malango ghakukanizga kusankhana pakati pa ŵanalume na ŵanakazi ŵa mtundu unyake (LGBT): Angola, Botswana, Cape Verde, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, na South Africa. Nangauli boma likulimbikira kukora dango ili, kweni sonosono apa ŵamazaza ŵanandi ŵayowoya kuti ŵanthu awo ŵakugonana na ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵanyawo ŵaŵe na chilango chikuru. Mu 2009 na 2014, dango la ku Uganda lakukanizga kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha (anti-homosexuality law), ilo pakwamba likapelekanga chilango cha nyifwa ku ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha, likakopa ŵanthu ŵanandi.

Kwambira mu 2011, vyaru vinyake vyakurughakura vikughanaghana vya kukanizga panji kukanizga ŵanthu awo ŵakutemwa kugonana na ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵambura kutemwana. Nangauli vili nthena, vyaru vinandi vya mu Africa vikukana kusazgirako wanangwa wa ŵanthu ŵa mtundu uwu, ndipo nyengo zinyake vikulemba malango ghakusazgirako chilango ku ŵanthu ŵa mtundu uwu. Ŵalongozgi ŵa ku Africa nga ni Robert Mugabe wa ku Zimbabwe na Yoweri Museveni wa ku Uganda ŵakayowoya kuti nkharo ya ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa LGBT yikiza mu Africa kufuma ku vigaŵa vinyake vya caru. Ndipouli, kafukufuku wakulongora kuti kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha kwaŵako kale comene mu vyaru vya mu Africa.Anthony Appiah and Henry Louis Gates, Encyclopedia of Africa, Volume 2 OUP, USA, 2010

Mu 2011, pa ungano wa wupu wa UN uwo ukazomerezga wanangwa wa ŵanalume na ŵanakazi ŵa mtundu wa LGBT, ŵamazaza ŵakapika mwaŵi wakuti ŵayowoyepo ivyo ŵakugomezga pa nkhani iyi. Mu vyaru ivi muli vyaru nga ni Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritius, Rwanda, São Tomé na Príncipe, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, na South Africa. Vyaru vinandi vya mu Africa vikasuska fundo iyi. Maboma agho ghakanjilirapo ghakaŵa Angola, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Republic of Congo, na Zambia.

Mu vigaŵa vya kumwera kwa Somalia, Somaliland, Mauritania, kumpoto kwa Nigeria, na Uganda, ŵanthu awo ŵakugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha ŵakulangika na nyifwa. Mu vyaru vya Sudan, Gambia, Tanzania, na Sierra Leone, ŵanthu awo ŵakugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha ŵangakakika umoyo wawo wose. Padera pa kukanizga kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha, chalo cha Nigeria chalemba malango agho ghakukanizga ŵanthu ŵaviŵaro vyakupambana na vyawo, ŵabwezi na ŵabwezi ŵa ŵanthu ŵaviŵaro vyakupambana na vyawo kuti ŵaŵawovwire. Kuyana na dango la ku Nigeria, munthu uyo wakukolerana na ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵambura kutorana "uyo wakuchita vinthu ivyo vikususkana na kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha" wangakakika vyaka 10.

Boma la South Africa ndilo likuzomerezga ŵanthu awo ŵakugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha. Charu cha South Africa ndico nchigaŵa cimoza pera mu Africa umo kusankhana mtundu uliwose kwa ŵa LGBT kuli kukanizgika na dango. Mu 2006, charu cha South Africa ndicho chikaŵa chakwamba kuzomerezga kuti ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵatoranenge ŵekhaŵekha. Ndipouli, kusankhana nkhucepa comene mu misumba yikuruyikuru, ndipo mu misumba nga ni Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, East London, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit, Pietermaritzburg, Kimberley na George muli ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa mtundu wa LGBT. Msumba ukuru wa Johannesburg, Durban, na Cape Town, ndiwo ukuzomerezga ŵanthu ŵa mtundu uwu ndipo ndiwo ŵanthu ŵakuŵatemwa chomene. Ndipouli, nangauli boma likuzomerezga kuti ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa LGBT ŵa mu charu cha South Africa ŵakusuzgika, kweni ŵanthu aŵa ŵakusuzgika chomene mu vyaru vya ku mizi. Vyaru vya Spain, Portugal, Britain, na France vikazomerezga nthengwa za ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha.

Nkhani yakumanyikwa comene ya kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha mu Eguputo wakale ni ya Nyankh-Khnum na Khnum-hotep. Ŵanalume ŵaŵiri aŵa ŵakakhalanga na kuteŵetera mu ufumu wa Farawo Niuserre mu nyengo ya muwuso wa fuko la 5. 2494-2345 BC).

 Mbili yasono 

 Kumpoto kwa Afilika 
Ku North Africa kukaŵa ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha. Mu mabuku gha Ciarabu agho ghakalembeka na ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yose, kanandi ŵakalongosoranga vyakusanguluska vya kugonana na ŵana. Pali nkhani za ŵanyamata Ŵacikhristu awo ŵakatumika kufuma ku Europe kuti ŵakagwirenge nchito ya kugonana mu Egupto. Ku Cairo, ŵanalume awo ŵakavwaranga vyakuvwara vyakupambanapambana, awo ŵakachemekanga kuti "khawal", ŵakakondweskanga ŵanthu na sumu na kuvina.

Ŵalendo ŵanyake ŵakwambilira kwa m'ma 1900 ŵakalongosora kuti malo gha Siwa ku Eguputo ghakaŵa gha ŵanthu ŵaviŵaro vyakuyana. Gulu linyake la ŵasilikari mu cigaŵa ici ŵakamanyikwanga kuti ŵakupeleka ndalama zakwendeskera nthengwa ku ŵanalume ŵawukirano.

 Kumafumilo gha Dazi gha Afilika 
Mu vyaru vinandi vya ku mafumiro gha dazi kwa Africa, ŵanthu ŵakutemwa kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi pera. Mu vyaru ivyo vikaŵako pambere Charu cha Africa chindambe kulamulirika, pakaŵa ŵasembe ŵanalume awo ŵakavwaranga nga mbanakazi. Munthu munyake wakusanda vya ŵanthu wa ku Britain, zina lake Rodney Needham, wakalongosora kuti ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Meru na wa Kikuyu ku Kenya ŵakalondezganga chisopa ichi. Kanandi ŵanthu ŵa Mugawe ŵakugonana ŵanalume pera, ndipo nyengo zinyake ŵakutengwa kwa mwanalume.

Mu nyengo yinyake, mulongozgi munyake wakacemeka kuti wazakayowoye za cilango ico ŵanthu ŵakapelekanga para ŵacita uleŵi. Mu nyengo yose iyi, Epprecht wakasanga kuti ŵanthu ŵabulumembe na ŵafipa ŵakayananga waka na ŵanthu wose. Ndipouli, wakuwona kuti ni vinthu ivyo vikamanyikwa na makhoti pera ivyo vikapangiska kuti ŵeruzgi ŵaleke kumanya. Milandu yinyake yikatoleka na ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalira lumoza yayi panji awo ŵakapokera yayi malipiro kufuma kwa awo ŵakagonana nawo. Nangauli kanandi mwanalume muwukirano wakagonanga pasi kwambura kukondwa, ndipo wakakhumbanga yayi kugonana na mwanalume munyake, kweni Epprecht wakasanga kuti ŵanalume ŵafipa ŵakaleka kugonana cifukwa ca kopa kunjira mu nthumbo, kweni yumoza wakakhumbanga kwambiraso.Will Roscoe and Stephen O.

Ku Gambia, pulezidenti wakale Yahya Jammeh wakadangilira pakukhumba malango agho ghangaŵika malango ghakususkana na ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha agho "ngakusuzga comene kuluska gha ku Iran", ndipo kuti "wazamudumura mutu" wa mwanalume panji mwanakazi waliyose uyo wazamusangika mu caru ici. Malipoti ghakulongora kuti boma lake likakhumbanga kukoma ŵanalume wose ŵakugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi pera mu caru ici. Mu kayowoyero ako wakapeleka ku Tallinding, Jammeh wakapeleka "ciyezgo caumaliro" ku ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi awo ŵakutemwa kugonana na ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha mu Gambia kuti ŵafumemo mu caru ici. Mu nkhani iyo wakayowoya ku United Nations pa Seputembala 27, 2013, Jammeh wakati "munthu uyo wakugonana na mwanalume panji mwanakazi munyake pera mu mitundu yake yose na umo wakuwonekera, nangauli ni uheni chomene, wakususkana na ŵanthu kweniso Chiuta, ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakumuchindika nga ni wanangwa wa ŵanthu".

Ku Uganda, ŵanthu ŵakayezgapo kuti ŵaŵike chilango cha nyifwa pa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi awo ŵakuchita uzaghali m'paka pa Malichi 22, 2023. Nyuzipepara ya ku Britain yakucemeka The Guardian yikati Pulezidenti Yoweri Museveni "wakawoneka kuti wakukhozgera" fundo iyi, ndipo pakati pa vinyake wakati "Ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe awo ŵakugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha ŵakulemba ŵanthu mu Africa", kweniso kuti kugonana kwa ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha nkhususkana na khumbo la Ciuta. Mu 2014, Museveni wakayowoya kuti ŵanthu awo ŵakugonana ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵekhaŵekha "mbakuseluska", ndipo wakati nkharo yawo njambura kwenelera. Wakayowoyaso kuti wakasora gulu la ŵasayansi ku Uganda kuti ŵamanye usange ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi awo ŵakugonana na ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵanyawo mbakusambira. Ivi vikapangiska kuti ŵasayansi ŵanandi ŵayowoyepo, ndipo munthu munyake wa ku National Institutes of Health wakachiska ŵanyake ku Uganda kuti ŵasande ivyo ŵasanga.
