Miss Botswana: Homosexuality An “Unnatural Act”
The Right Perspective ^ | 5/6/09

Posted on 05/07/2009 12:15:52 PM PDT by lewisglad

Newly-crowned Miss Botswana, Sumaiyah Marope, has caused an uproar after declaring same-sex relationships to be an “unnatural act.”

In a scenario that mirrors the recent controversy at the Miss USA competition, Marope was asked by judge DJ Fresh if she would advocate gay marriage.

“It is unnatural act,” Marope proclaimed. “God made us men and women [... ] It is only proper for men to have relationships with women as God created us.”

The crowd erupted in a loud roar of approval of her comments.

Unlike Miss California, Marope went on to win the competition, and was awarded a US $700 bracelet from rapper Russell Simmons, a brand new Mercedes Benz, and an academic scholarship.

Miss Botswana’s comments come at an unusual time in Botswana, as several gay rights groups are pushing for the removal of legislation that does not recognize same-sex relationships.

Gee, Miss California was only against gay marriage ... Looks like the ante has just been upped.






Or maybe the "uncley" has been upped

Botswana, who we may consider a back-ward country- and in many respects is- is probably a culture that respects modesty, unlike ours.

(Now, where’s those pictures?)

“Olberman needed material for tonights show else he’d have to have reruns of Miss California show and Sara Palin attacks.”

I was channel surfing last night and landed on Olberman for a few moments. He was making fun of something Bill O’Reily said.

The thought that ran through my head was “Is this what news has come to?” Most boys stop acting like that when they reach puberty. Yet, here is a grown man (on a news channel) making comments and funny faces like a 12 year old child.

Are there really ADULTS out there that think he is acting in anything like an adult manner?

Amazing... She states what is obvious to most common sense people, and it's going to cause an uproar?

She deserves the crown. She and Miss California are two of the more courageous women in the pagent scene.

God bless em.

Now, who are the intolerant?

No one can't say a word against them.

I have so been enjoying the #1 Ladies Detective Agency. Seemed a little slow at first, but once you catch on, it is really addictive. It is so different from anything else being offered. After a couple episodes, I decided to find out a bit more. Jill Scott was a name I’d heard as a music person, so I did a search, and what I found was wonderful. I can’t find it now, but the interview I came across with her was so wonderful. What she discussed was how unusual Botswana is, totally apart from all the other African countries. And how she was taken in by the gentleness of the people.

That seems to be what is happening here. The people of Botswana are very special, and this lady is showing us why.

I am afraid that will be the mantra as the militant gay activists and the secular left continue to work to demonize Christian thought and philosophy.

We are in a cultural battle for souls. No time to back down from these creatures.
