Gambian president promises to ‘fight homosexuals like we fight malaria’

[William769]

BANJUL, Gambia — Gambia’s President Yahya Jammeh said Tuesday that LGBTQ people are “vermin” and said his government would tackle them in the same way it fights malaria-causing mosquitoes.

Jammeh, made his remarks in a televised appearance marking Gambia’s 49 years of independence from British rule.

“We will fight these vermins called homosexuals or gays the same way we are fighting malaria-causing mosquitoes, if not more aggressively,” said Jammeh. “We will therefore not accept any friendship, aid or any other gesture that is conditional on accepting homosexuals or LGBT as they are now baptized by the powers that promote them.”

“As far as I am concerned, LGBT can only stand for Leprosy, Gonorrhea, Bacteria and Tuberculosis; all of which are detrimental to human existence,” he said.

1. How many more of these stories are we going to read?!

It seems parts of the world are jumping forward and others are sliding back in a hard, fast way!

2. Unfortunately it is going to take external intervention.

We have seen it before and we will continue to see it until the civilized world stands up as one and says enough is enough.
