The extent to which Zimbabwe is endowed with narrow thinking, prejudiced individuals saddens me. No one has the right to limit what is allowed to be publicly discussed. Attempts to do so is one of the most serious problems we have in Zimbabwe today. The fear of allowing the issue to be publicly discussed may be driven by the fear that people may conclude there is nothing inhuman about having a different sexual orientation? or that more understanding may be sought by those who think more broadly than the narrow path of people bashing?

I am amused by the comment ‘next naked women will be walking down the street.’ Its right along the path of bashing women for not conforming to patriarchal norms in much the same way as homosexuality does not conform to these norms and makes those protected by them uncomfortable.

Hello Ticha

I’m presuming that when you say men are so wicked that you also mean heterosexual men because quite often heterosexual men (those men who go to Church and pray and look nice in public) also like to plough the sewage pipe (anal) passage of women when they have sex? So, maybe hetersosexual men shouldn’t have any rights protected in the Constitution.

These guys are right and it is a rare occusation that they agree on a subject. Homosexuality is inhuman and even animals can not do that.

We dont need public opinion on gay issues, thats totally bad and there is no need to apologise. I agree with Mugabe and Tsvangirai in all totality about this issue. If male dogs understand that they need a lady dog to have sex and they shun the sewage pipe (annal passage) but men have been so wicked and dicided to double task the anal passage. This is bad

A Headline in The Sunday Times reads Being Gay in Zimbabwe. The article following was well written and the young man being interviewed – well spoken. I think it is imperative for people like The Dalai Lama to read such articles. The young man being interviewed gives a personal account of how he has been ‘outed’ in an intolerant society: Outed and Proud. But also booted Out. The sooner governments start supporting the people as opposed to mowing them down (in any area – not just issues on homosexuality) the more like great leaders they will become.
