US President Barack Obama has told the BBC he will continue to deliver his "blunt message" to African leaders about gay rights and discrimination.

"I am not a fan of discrimination and bullying of anybody on the basis of race... religion... sexual orientation or gender," he said.

Mr Obama is on his way to visit his ancestral home of Kenya and he will also go to Ethiopia.

He said the trip showed US commitment to fighting terror in East Africa.

In the wide-ranging interview with the BBC's North America editor Jon Sopel before he left Washington, President Obama also said:

◾His failure to pass "common sense gun safety laws" in the US was the greatest frustration of his presidency...

How much money do homosexuals give this guy?

[twister881]

He gets loads of contributions up the wazoo.

[Dr.Deth]

He gets loads of contributions up the wazoo.

Yeah, but we were talking about money ;)

[madprof98]

I suspect he will be provided a supply of pretty boys at his disposal for the rest of his days. Otherwise, there is no explaining his priorities.

LOL! I see what you did there. ;-)

0bama needs to stay there and fundamentally change them in his immage.

Well, if you're looking for an expert on corruption, Obama's certainly your man...

[twister881]

Yeah, that too ;)

Islamists will be Islamists. Embrace diversity.

"I am not a fan of discrimination and bullying of anybody on the basis of race... religion... sexual orientation or gender,"

Unless they happen to be Caucasian... Christian... Heterosexual... Men.

In which case; OK.

I thought they were going to throw him out of the country if he brought this gay krap up!

[Mrs. Don-o]

There are plenty of normal, moral African Christians who will tell him to go to hell.

[ImNotLying]

And when you finish there Mr President, please go talk to ISIS about gay rights. I’m sure they will be receptive.

Hoping this will be a memorable journey for all of us

[Lurkinanloomin]

I hope he does go over there and preach to them on homosexuality.
It will not be well received.

No better expert on corruption, either.

[onedoug]

If these countries were not so beholden to US foreign aid contributions they could just bar entry to this islamist bastard.

Lay down with the devil and get burned.

[Uncle Miltie]

Those black Africans are strongly homophobic.

This is going to be good.

[Uncle Miltie]

You guys set up da bomb!

“I thought they were going to throw him out of the country if he brought this gay krap up!”

Maybe the (surprisingly conservative) Kenyans can find a still-practicing witch doctor who can “cure” him.
