Some Africians seem to live in the middle ages.  It doesn't help when the Pope is against gays and considers this as a sin. It sickens me that this still happen in the 21 century. We, humans, need to progress and accept those who are different to us. May your God be with You. From an Athiest !

What a fucking outrage!! There is something wrong when you are jailed for loving someone. It shouldn't matter what happens in someone else's bedroom! Every one needs love. I am so fucking PISSED off that we seem to still live in the ice age! There are enough problems in the world with out stepping back in time and punish people for loving each other! Ughhh! I am so pissed I just can't get the right words out! I signed the petition, I have written my senator.

The continent of Africa suffers from the world's highest levels of HIV/AIDS infections & deaths. United Nations statistics have indicated the vast majority of AIDS related deaths in Africa occurred in the heterosexual community. There needs to be a recognition that AIDS is a human tragedy, and a need exists to stop stereotyping its victims. In countries where gays & anyone can be open about their HIV status, education has dramatically cut new AIDS cases, and the sick have gotten treatment.

@kupooknight again the whole thing is The Goat Herders' Guide to the Galaxy is what it is. A gullible-people management tool. which is so Ineligant, Inarticulate, Idiotic, Illogical, Irrelevant. When the bible was written people didn't even know women enjoyed sex smh!

@kupooknight The stuff that happened 2000 years ago is still happen now. There's nothing new under the sun. Why don't you read the Bible and get to know God? There's nothing to lose its a good investment on saving your soul.

@TOW3RA 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

New International Version (NIV)

9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

That's what happened when sin take its place. Being gay is an abomination in God's eyes. A man should be with a woman and woman should be with a man. Those who are gay (and who have sinned in any form) should repent to the lord, ask forgiveness and live their lives for God's purpose. God -loves- everyone no mater what you have done and He will forgive you if you ask wholeheartedly.
