Happy Pride!

On Sunday those on us who live in Toronto will be enjoying the Gay Pride Parade. This is the perfect opportunity to discuss vodun and homosexuality. The short answer is it’s complicated.  It’s perfectly acceptable in Haiti and there are even spirits devoted to gay men and lesbians. In Benin, however, it’s not. But this may be because of the strong influence of Christianity. The Rada Community in Belmont?  We found no written record but we say Happy Pride!
