Gay Couple in Malawi Get Maximum Sentence of 14 Years in Prison

14 years of hard labor (if they live that long in prison). This is so horrible.

seaneldridge:

Where is the outrage? Where is actual political pressure from the international community, not just empty words? Where are the sanctions?  Across Africa, 37 countries ban homosexuality outright.  And this couple will now endure 14 years of hard labor because they are gay - and no one has come to their defense. We cannot stand idly by…we must remind our elected officials that basic human rights are always in America’s interest.


The Ten Most Alarming Things in a Poll of Republican "Values" and Beliefs

Besides thinking Obama is a racist, illegal alien, terrorist & should be immediately impeached, they have some pretty disturbing opinions of gay people.

8: Only 7 percent support same-sex marriage. Not surprising, but still disappointing.

7: Sixty-eight percent don’t think gay couples should receive any state or federal benefits, while 21 percent are not sure. This is more surprising — it’s not even marriage, just benefits. And not even every benefit, necessarily, just some.

1: An astounding 73 percent believe that openly gay men or women should be prohibited from teaching in public schools, and 19 percent aren’t sure. That puts them at odds with Ronald Reagan, who openly opposed a measure trying to do just that. Over 30 years ago.
