Amnesty International condemns 'homophobia' in Africa
BBC ^ | 25 June 2013 | BBC

Posted on 06/25/2013 5:10:16 PM PDT by Salman

Homophobic attacks have reached dangerous levels in sub-Saharan Africa and must stop, Amnesty International has said in a report.

Governments are increasingly criminalising "homosexual acts" by seeking to impose new laws and draconian penalties, it adds.

This sends the "toxic message" that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are criminals, the report says.

Some of the continent's leaders say homosexuality is un-African.

In 2011, the US and UK hinted that they could withdraw from countries which did not respect homosexual rights on the socially conservative continent.

However, Amnesty said US religious groups "actively fund and promote homophobia in Africa", while many of the laws were inherited from the colonial era.

Considering how widespread AIDS is in Africa, I am not sure fear of sodomites is unwarranted.

Amnesty International — still a communist front group.

Africans, who labor under the most extensive AIDS butchers bill in the world, are saying “doh!” and waiting with barely concealed jubilance.

Cultural imperialism at its worst. These countries have standards.

Soft target, obviously a fundraising ploy. Sub-Saharan Africa could care less about the trendy lecturing of AI. Why don't these people try the same lecture with the Saudis, or da Brudderhood there in Egypt?

Or the "Asian Yutes" in Merry Ol' England?

Because they're chicken.

One out of six (1:6) of Obama’s high dollar political campaign contribution bundlers is an out-of-the-closet homosexual. The hysterical screaching over “gay rights” (a misnomber) is no accident. Obama has been purchased by the homo lobby, and they seek forced normalization of their perversion into mainstream society, by force and/or brainwashing if necessary.

Here in Houston we have a lesbian mayor. She saw donations to her campaign from other cities and states.

If you don’t live here, who are you to say who my mayor is? I have to live with the consequences (higher taxes, corruption, etc.). She even tried to institute a “rape kit tax” at strip joints. Sexist witch.

Meanwhile the city’s homosexual pride parade is this week and anything goes (sex in the bathrooms, etc.). Can’t even see nipples in strip joints now.

Say what you will about adult entertainment, that was “consenting adults in private” and it is now verbotten. Her freakshow is in the public arena.

On the topic of sodomites (I refuse to call them ‘gays’), I was watching Fox News Watch last Sunday and saw Richard Grenell who is a Fox contributor. Grenell, who is an open sodomite, was completely bald and looked like death warmed over. I did a little googling and discovered he has recently been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which is one of many AIDs-defining diseases.
