Oh, I'm that am I?
"We will fight these vermins called homosexuals or gays the same way we are fighting malaria-causing mosquitoes, if not more aggressively," Jammeh said in a speech on state television to mark the 49th anniversary of Gambia's independence from Britain.Again, if this was any other group, there'd be a worldwide outcry. It's almost that people expect gays to be persecuted in these countries because that's just the way it is and there's little that can be done about it.
Britain and some other Western nations have threatened to cut aid to governments that pass anti-gay laws.
But Jammeh said his country would defend its sovereignty and Islamic beliefs, and not yield to outside pressure on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues.
"We will therefore not accept any friendship, aid or any other gesture that is conditional on accepting homosexuals or LGBT as they are now baptised by the powers that promote them," he said.
"As far as I am concerned, LGBT can only stand for Leprosy, Gonorrhoea, Bacteria and Tuberculosis; all of which are detrimental to human existence," he added. more
I mean it's easy to just shout "Stop the fuckin aid from us then!", but aid to who? Surely this aid would go to humanitarian things like food, water, shelter, etc to those in need. By stopping aid we hurt them. What do you do?
