The only problem i see is the way you talk about gay people and sexuality.
Your narrow-mindedness seems to know no boundaries and i think that is sad because you also seem to be a nice guy.
High unemployment rates among gay people imo is a side effect from still not being accepted in most societies.
Not being accepted just because who you are, not because you did anything wrong or harmful to anybody but just because you are alive will sooner or later have a profound effect and people like you with ideas like you have sure don't help Daniel.
Drug use ... could you be a little more specific about that because i've learned over the yrs that most people have quite a distorted view on what that really is.
Typically people who aren't accepted by their mainstream society can also have issues with drug abuse. In this context, it's a means of escaping one's ostracism and even becoming accepted by a subculture. Plus, there's a lot of violent history that many Africans have lived through... Watching your village, including your family and friends being murdered would be enough to cause some serious mental instability for most people. So they turn to drugs.... Even in cases where someone didn't witness violence, the general hopelessness/impending destruction of one's home culture, society, and country is pretty depressing. Of course this is not applicable to all cases, but I'd bet it's still a high percentage for drug users.
