“…The correlation between LGBTQI policies and climate change cannot be examined independently of the speci c circumstances surrounding African corporations (Osinubi, 2020). African enterprises, akin to their international counterparts, are progressively acknowledging the imperative of addressing LGBTQI concerns, not alone as a matter of social justice, but also as an integral aspect of their dedication to social and environmental accountability.…”

This study examines the intricate connections among LGBTQI legislation, investor conduct, return on investment (ROI), and demographic trends in African businesses. We examine the historical progression of LGBTQI rights in Africa, closely analyzing its influence on the legal framework and public reception. The paper examines the existing LGBTQI policies in African companies and assesses their possible impact on investor trading behavior. The analysis takes into account both positive and negative factors that impact ROI, including enhanced employee engagement and possible expenses associated with implementation. This analysis examines the correlation between LGBTQI policies and climate change, with a focus on promoting inclusion to support the development of resilient and adaptive organizations. An analysis is conducted on population dynamics, which include demographic shifts, urbanization, and migration trends, to determine their impact on the development of LGBTQI inclusion and legislative reforms. The objective of this study is to provide a thorough comprehension of these intricate relationships, enlightening stakeholders about the consequences for Africa's economic, social, and demographic future.

This article examines how queer authors from sub-Saharan Africa use writing about their lives to expose the vulnerabilities that they face in their specific communities and how they try to elude the restrictions of homophobia in their activism. I read Siya Khumalo’s You Have to be Gay to Know God (2018) and Brian Pellot’s edited collection Hopes and Dreams that Sound Like Yours: Stories of Queer Activism in Sub-Saharan Africa (2021) as autobiographical testimonies that explore means of queer activism in sub-Saharan Africa’s homophobic publics to challenge the sustenance of homophobia by dismantling its systematic ideological structures of power differentials in these societies. By championing activism, African queer writers engage in a process of creating new subjectivities that demand rights and visibility for their unthreatened presence on the continent. I argue that these life stories suggest that queer activism in sub-Saharan Africa ought to be multidimensional, inclusive, and cross-sectional to circumvent the prohibitions and restrictive forces of heteropatriarchy. The narratives also reveal that activism can become therapy and a source of resilience in the face of homophobia.
