Lol, people are starving to death, crime is everywhere, skyrocketing drug use and homosexuals are the biggest problem. Shows clearly what these religions really care about. They need a separation between church and hate.

Having watched the whole show, I can say this situation is shocking and unacceptable.

I am frequently asked in my apparently "failed" Western country to donate to help those less fortunate in Africa, even as they demonize, imprison, and kill gay people. A stand must be taken. My money now only goes to organizations working to end anti-gay oppression in Africa.

I think you don't see the big picture. I'm talking about the future 50 or 30 years from now.

look at the city of San Francisco and New york, the gays population is the highest in america and growing. births of baby boys are in decline in the world, an environmental issues and GM foods. then we will see the number of gay and straight men almost becoming equal after 50 or 30 years from now, that's when we see male rape, just like in jails. May allah help us all.

@thuglifexo Our corrupt governments are going around the world murdering innocent people and stealing your resources? Tell me...how is my government, the Swedish government, murdering your people and stealing your resources? We never had an African colony. Never had troops there. So how is it doing it? What it HAS done is give billions of dollars in aid money. We are having a tough time with our economy so if you deem that money to be "murder" then give it back. We could use it right now.

@SuperKaynaan Gays will outnumber straight men? You do realize that homosexuality has been completely decrimininalized in most of Europe for a very long time now. And the acceptance of gays in Europe has not lead to an increase in gay men. 10% of the population was gay before decriminalization and 10% if gay now. Wherever you go in the world, about 10% of the populace is gay. So what grounds do you have to suppose that gays would ever outnumber straight men? You are afraid of your own shadow.

@LADSAR South Africa's apartheid regime ended in 1994. And there are a number of African countries where rape is a problem. HIV is prevalent in most of Sub-Saharan Africa at high rates, which includes Uganda! If Uganda had such a better life they won't be flocking to South Africa to live. South Africa = democracy, Uganda = oppressive dictatorship. Think again which nation really has morals and dignity! Go to school and educate yourself!

[LADSAR]

@hewi868 dont compare South africa with other african countries. we all know that SA is a fucked up country with all the apartheid, rape and hiv. south africa is messed up. at least other african countries have morals and dignity

[SuperKaynaan]

anal sex, that's nasty. You know people, when a population of homosexual men grow large than straight men they will start raping straight men. This what happen in Sodom and Gomorrah, history is repeating it self. Straight men should stand up, and destroy this practice and the people who's behind it.

[tooyella210]

the last thing africa needs is more gay men because lets be real SHIT human waste is the nastiest thing to mess with and especially fucking another mans smelly hairy asshole ,i mean with a woman you have a vagina and asshole why limit yourself to another masculine man with a butthole? with a woman you can suck and rub on her tits, you can pound her pussy from the back slow of fast ,soft or hard . man on man i mean there isnt much but africa has the highest hiv/aid statistics
