  3. What’s “moral” about being against a sexuality? That doesn’t sound very
    moral. Being against love sounds very immoral.

  4. Of course they should! The hatred comes out of ignorance and misinformation
    just like in the USA. Oh and the worst of all, Religion!

  5. Our values and norms can’t make some of us be patient about a man fucking
    fellow man . Whoever rises up here your dead .

  7. Should not think about it all guys thats not we came for in Africa and we
    afrikkans shall not such sinful habit in life

  9. i am not the only one in this situation people from every African country
    and those countries where they claim so-called to be more religious and
    cultural people claim to be gay,even from that country that the president
    claim we are lower then pigs and dogs

  11. people should ask themselves questions why, they have a gay sister,
    brother, cousin, uncle, auntie and so on, before saying that it is
    un-african because those people are also blacks and africans

  12. Homos isn’t Afrikan! It’s completely foreign. There are lots other things
    that Afrikans could identify each other with than trying to copy a culture
    thats nothing but shit.

  13. So my question is where do these gay people come from in Africa, like for
    my personal experience, i have never been in western countries, i born in
    Congo, i only came in south africa in 2010 and my first baby was congolese
    like me, so i happen to start having samesex feeling during my adolescence
    no one blackmailed, forced or recruited me with money into homosexuality

  15. I liked the reporter, very fair open discussion. Pastor Sempa: ‘Man marries
    woman, or women, and/or cuts their clitoris off. That is the way of GOD!’

  17. You may have access to healthcare, but it would be nice to maintain
    culture. Do you think God will be happy with you?

  18. So you would advocate harming someone in Africa, because other people are
    harmed in the US and Europe? Is it some sort of contest?

  20. i’m against any discrimination. but i have the right to be morally against
    homosexuality without attacking them or harming them. you can’t force
    people to become gay friendly.

  21. No my friend, gays are nt lower than dogs or pigs. they are humans like all
    of us. But it does nt mean what every human being does is right. Every
    society has what we call social norms and values. It defines who a group of
    people are so if they say homosexuality is not acepted among them then its
    nt acepted. Every society has lots of stuff goin on but it does not mean we
    should accept homosexuality becausepeople are doing it among us. Gays are
    not new to africa but its promotion and spread is.

  23. We Gays are in AFRICA we will live and die here just like straight people
    will live and die. so decrminalizing does not stop us from Gay just as
    criminalizing does not stop us ..infact criminalizing spreads it more but
    decriminalizing is a sure course for national developemnet and cohesion and
    thus economic growth

  24. actually all men are born polygamists,it i their state or their religion
    that don’t allow polygamy.look how many cheaters there are in the world.
    And sexual orientation is a private matter.for centuries the norm in
    africa,on the gay question was “don’t ask don’t tell”. What you do in your
    bedroom should stay in your bedroom. Why today homos are making so much
    noise?

  25. Pastor Martin Sempa needs to ask the wizard of Oz for an active brain,
    otherwise the one he has apparently is just simply occupying space in his
    skull.

  26. “Coming up next on Africa Speaks: Child witches and baby demon possession,
    should we kill them outright to boil their bones for magical anti-AIDS
    potions, or just perform an exorcism and burn their left palm? Stay tuned!”

  27. Discussion should start at using the right terms first. Homosexuality is at
    term which was introduced in Europe to make sexual praxis sound like a
    desease thought it was common in the world all history long. It is not a
    behaviour. Would you agree that Africans are biologically like all human
    kinds? So why should they differ in there sexuality?! Which is biological
    and not social or cultural. Did straight people learn to be attracted to
    the different gender or is it juts natural for them? Think!

  28. By criminalizing Homosexuality we continue to encourage homophobic
    behaviour among our people while marginalizing our fellow homosexual
    citizens … personally i think that it shouldn’t be treated as it is now
    gay people should be allowed to express their sexuality so long as it is in
    their own privacy.

  29. Only difference is that people are not born Polygamists. Its as if someone
    was to pass a law making it illegal to be a heterosexual.

  30. america and europe should decriminalize polygamy first.Why we should accept
    their way of life when they refuse to accept our’s? Every continent has its
    own values.

  32. This madness must stop!! We need to stop finding reasons to hate each
    other! What difference does it make to you who someone else prefers to love
    and be intimate with?
