NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Members of Ethiopia’s LGBTQ+ community say they face a wave of online harassment and physical attacks and blame much of it on the social media platform TikTok, which they say is failing to take down posts calling for homosexual and transgender people to be whipped, stabbed and killed.

A local LGBTQ+ support group, House of Guramayle, said that some TikTok users are also outing Ethiopians by sharing their names, photographs and online profiles on one of the country’s most popular social media platforms.

In Ethiopia, homosexual acts are punishable by up to 15 years in prison. The East African country whose population of close to 120 million is split between Christianity and Islam is largely conservative, and while LGBTQ+ people have long suffered abuse, activists say the hostility has reached a new level.

Emphasis added. It isn't just Tiktok.

Don’t be LGBTQ+ in those countries, and you should be fine.

Really, do you need to be a Furry or have a sex change operation? No, you don’t.

You have psychological and spiritual issues, instead.

I definitely DO NOT condone physical attacks on LGBTQ+ people - HOWEVER, I DEFINITELY DO support people on Earth being aware of what the Lord Jesus Christ said in regards to the conditions on Earth, just prior to the Last Days really getting going. Jesus Christ is Lord; whether the population of the Earth wants to believe it or not (just my $0.02)

But I would propose that this article is written by those not in the pig pen.

You know what's next: A noisy subset of out legislative overlords will demand that these poor, poor, put-upon perverts be offered safe harbor -- and oodles of handouts -- here in the U.S. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you . . .

That’s Haille Selassie of them.

The East African country whose population of close to 120 million.

I didn't know thar. That's almost as many as Russia.

Ruled by Moslem nuts, why should this be surprising?

[Reily]

It’s 67.3% Chrisitan.

You are absolutely right!

[the OlLine Rebel]

Really?

So that’s why Christians are still there.

[Reily]

Christians have been there since the time of the Apostles. The Ethiopian Coptic Church is among the first Christian churches.

[ZULU]

“It’s not clear what sparked the videos, but Bahiru said Uganda’s new anti-LGBT law that prescribes the death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality” is playing a role.”

Triangulatiom by the left. No Christian “evangelist” would ever say this. It looks like they are propagandizing to secure repeal of that law, endorsement by the State and the same kind of garbage that is going on here withbthese perverts.

LGBTQ+, all fall into the category of “ABOMINATION!”

“Need?” No, these people have made choices with no regard for psychological or spiritual issues.
They demand that we all let them push their abominable lifestyle choices down our throats.
Not in my world. I am not in theirs. I will have nothing to do with them.
End of story
