What madness is this that when we have beautiful women in our country some people want to marry men?

A member of the Zimbabwe Parliament yesterday called for gay people and their allies to be forcibly evicted from their homes and banished from their communities.

Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo has urged traditional chiefs to banish "people who support homosexuality" from their communities and take away their land. The ZANU PF MP was addressing villagers in Lupane who had come to witness the installation of Chief Mabhikwa Khumalo last Thursday. "The chiefs are there to protect and promote our cultural values and those who support same sex marriages must be banished from the communities and be dispossessed of their land. What kind of madness is this that when we have beautiful women in our country some people want to marry other men," he said.

Local human rights lawyers condemned Chombo: "Chombo's appetite for forced evictions, especially in the month of May, is reminiscent of the scorched earth programme of Operation Murambatsvina which had far-reaching consequences on a large portion of the Zimbabwean population."

2. Exactly what I said to a friend of mine at a bar about 25 years ago. I was

telling him gay guys shouldn't bother us at all. "If anything we should be unhappy with lesbians but we're not, why is that?" Drunken logic and I was trying to be funny. I hadn't quite gotten over any prejudice toward gay people at that point but was working on it.
