Granta Contributor Targeted in Anti-Gay Attacks

Pwaangulongii Dauod reports that his home was vandalized and a guard attacked after his essay “Africa’s Future has No Space for Stupid Black Men” was published by Granta Magazine. The essay addresses the homophobia that remains prevalent in Africa, and reveals the story of Dauod’s friend “C. Boy,” the young founder of an underground gay club who committed suicide in 2015.
