And it puts gay people in prison for up to 14 years. That’s inhumane as hell.

“John Kerry recently said that one of the core missions of the State Department is to promote gay rights around the world...”

John Kerry is Satan’s catamite.

If elected president, I promise to order a grand jury convened to consider his many crimes.

The harsh letter form John Kerry today:

The United States is deeply concerned by Nigeria’s enactment of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act.

Beyond even prohibiting same sex marriage, this law dangerously restricts freedom of assembly, association, and expression for all Nigerians.

Moreover, it is inconsistent with Nigeria’s international legal obligations and undermines the democratic reforms and human rights protections enshrined in its 1999 Constitution.

People everywhere deserve to live in freedom and equality. No one should face violence or discrimination for who they are or who they love.

We join with those in Nigeria who appeal for the protection of their fellow citizens’ fundamental freedoms and universal human rights.

Nigeria has a lot of Muslims in it and they must be appeased.

The reaction from Washington....we shall see....

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan signed a bill on Monday that criminalizes same-sex relationships

I think Obama and Reggie Love should make a trip to Nigeria to express their personal outrage against this unexpected outbreak of sanity.
