This article argues that the Haitian Vodou spirits (lwas) of fertility and death, Gede, do not promote homosexuality or the fluidity of sexuality in Haitian culture. The latter position is a Western reading of Gede grounded in postmodern and post-structural identity theorizing. Gede in Haitian ontology and epistemology is lwas of fertility and death not sexual identity confusion or fluidity.
