    That isn't fair Adam, a lot of the homophobia in africa can be traced back to previous interference and 'support' from the west.

    For reasons like this I beleive Europe & the UN should stop all aid to these countrys. The aid is to help them develop, when clearly they show no intentions of improving there human rights, Fuck them.

    Edit: yeah they are most likely getting some of this from western Influences, however they should have there own mind on what Is right and what is wrong,
    Sure dosn't sound like a country we want a share of our tax being payed too.

    My two cents is basically that the West are going about trying to develop Africa the wrong way. Education is a much better way to fix problems like this, rather than throwing money at a corrupt and dysfunctional government.

    Gay rights is basically the product of getting the cause for gays to be seen out and about through education of the general populace. That just isn't happening in Africa unfortunately. :frowning2:
