Homosexuality should never be encouraged in Africa.

Killing people because of their sexual orientation, is nothing, and I repeat, nothing to be proud of. However, please continue, freedom of speech, regardless of how abhorrent, and all that.

Same sex sexual orientation is unnatural and something must be wrong psychologically that needs to be dealt with instead of accepting it as the normal functioning. People should not shut out or kill people because of their orientation but should help them.

What is unnatural will prevail if we do nothing.

In agreement with the quoted post below.

A little

- I joined this board upon recommendation from a friend, thinking it'd be more enlightening than some other boards I've been on. But when I read threads like this, I see that nothing has changed under the sun.

I'm not here to change anyone's minds about whatever beliefs one might have about this topic (or any other topic, for that matter). But some of the things being said in this thread are very extreme and downright nasty. Just because someone is not practicing what you may not think is "right" or "holy" or "righteous" or "natural" does not give you the right to speak so nasty about them, nor does it give anyone the right to kill them.

If they're not bothering me or mine, I don't give a damn what they do. It's too bad that so many other people care so much that they're willing to see them killed for what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms.

If the tables were turned and people looked into our (heterosexual) bedrooms and didn't like what they saw, how would we feel?

But then again, I'm probably just talking to myself right about now.....

I have read this post and at least the majority of all the people who posted have said that they do not agree with gay people being killed for their sexuality or beaten.
The majority of people are saying that it is up for other countries to decide their policy.

If you had actually read the posts as you claimed to have done (as opposed to 'getting a general flavour' from reading snippets that do not concur with YOUR views) you would see that people here are NOT advocating KILLING people for their preference).
The central theme among the posters here is that CULTURALLY, homosexuality is alien to our culture (which is not to suggest that there are NO Africans who practice it), just that it is something which in general Africans abhor and think to be UNNATURAL in the scheme of life.......IN OUR CULTURE MAN WAS NOT MADE TO GO WITH MAN OR WOMAN WITH WOMAN.....If such were natural in the scheme of things, the world would be very different from what it is.
Furthermore, people here are saying that it is the RIGHT of each country/government (e.g. African countries) to choose the stance their take on homosexuality and NOT be 'directed' by Europeans/Western views/preferences on the matter.
Whilst out and out killing of people who happen to be homosexuality cannot be justified in a humane world, the fact that there are those who are totally disgusted and opposed to such practice is something other should learn to accept. WE FEEL THE WAY WE DO, THAT IS IT!

Respect

Just wondering New Improved Morris are you Jamaican or of African descent? I have not really seen any of your posts about you on the board so i am wondering.

The majority of Africans and Jamaicans don't want things to be normalised like it is over here in the West. I don't think that gays should be sent to prison either.

rachie · (#59 (**permalink**))

Hi thanks for replying i was just wondering like i said for the reasons that i mentioned in my other post.

Your political aspirations sound interesting.

I wouldn't have mentioned this normally but richie would make me a guy my username is rachie this is not an issue at all and typos happen but i thought that i would mention it just for clarity sake for the future.

You sure you're not the prospective parliamentary candidate for Hammersmith?

You might as well say "Afrika WON'T Bow To Women!!!" or "Afrika WON'T Bow TO Black People!!!"

Much as I hate t admit it, I agree with you on that one.

@NewImprovedMorris
Oh!!..give a rest already...If you don't like it you know where to shove it...Africans do not accept the gay lifestyle..people have gone on about not wanting to kill they just don't want that liberal crap IMPOSED on Africans...in AFRICA..not in the WEST...so what really is your problem...
You are of Norman descent so explain how you know how an African would react??
