Some thoughts on above article:
In this article “The ‘two-spirit’ people of indigenous North Americans,” Walter L Williams explores the prevalence of homosexuality within Native cultures, uncovering the existence of gender-nonconforming individuals throughout time. Like many other articles written about queer history, this one also exposes the undeniable effects of colonialism on the rise of homophobia within non-white cultures. It also indicates how big a role religion played in encouraging this discrimination. I found it to be enlightening because it shows that homophobia was taught and that people always have a choice on how to treat others.
