It’s not like homophobia (or, say, racism) is unique to western civilizations.
of course not, but the modern African wave of homophobia is very much inspired by Christianity and Islam

Nah, people did move around a bit. Herodotus discusses the “Aetheops” (subsaharan Africans) in his Histories, for example. Rome straight up had emperors who we wouldn’t consider white.
The real catalyst seems to have been the situation in the New World, where coincidentally black slaves were suddenly cheap and abundant, and the colonisers where much lighter than the natives. It was a convenient worldview, basically.
