I believe in, and will to the best of my ability fight for, equal rights and freedom of opinion for everyone, regardless of colour, religion, nationality, orientation - you know the rest.

I'm extremely optimistic about rapid transformation and change of things in Africa in general.
I, Binyavanga Wainaina, quite honestly swear I have known I am a homosexual since I was five.
