1 There is no definitive gene responsible for homosexuality

2 Homosexuality is not a disease but merely an abnormal behavior which may be learned through experiences in life

3 In every society, there is a small number of people with homosexuality tendencies

5 The practice needs regulation like any other human behavior especially to protect the vulnerable

6 There is need for further studies to address sexuality in the African context
