Gambians should watch out that their leader is out of step with the rest of the world in his condemnation of gays. He stands in the way of progress for the country as others might see Gambia as ignorant as he is. The American Psychiatric Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychological Association, and American Psychoanalytic Association confirmed that sexual orientation is natural, biologically induced, morally neutral, immutable, neither contagious nor learned, and has no relation to an individual's ability to form deep and lasting relationships, to parent children, to work, or to contribute to society; and endorsed civil marriage for same sex couples because marriage strengthens the mental and physical health and the longevity of couples, and provides greater legal and financial security for children, parents, and seniors. This is the future and Mr. Jammeh is going to be way left behind.

Go to hell the so-called Dr, what is it you have to tell to Gambian people about their president. Do you think your so-called progress is what dears to civilized nations like ours. what is it you think of America, A COUNTRY THAT BELIEVE IN NOTHING BUT a state that propagate insanity like GAYs and its like. We need not to tell you Islam and all its teaching is against homosexuals a behaviour that completely demonstrate how degraded some nations and societies are. Shut UP!

This is in response to the so-call Dr.Gambia is a muslim nation and most of them value their religion dearly. Homosexuality is one of the un-natural acts that the Quran clearly warned us not to engaged in.Most homosexuals are foreigners who come to the gambia to exploit poor young children by giving them gifts in exchange for sexual favours.I strongly agreed with the president for taking this hardline stand, a stand that will create a better society based on the teaching of the Quran.Gambia maybe poor but we are better off poor than living in a immoral and dirty society committed by very few but growing assholes...

The so-call doctor and his useless citations of mad psychologist should close their mouths. As far as the Gambia is concern,both Christians and Muslims, no gay or whatever they are called would be tolerated here. If development and progress must be accompanied by such vices, then we prefer no to join in such development. According to the association of God fearing academics, sexual orientation is hetrosexual but people can fashion it to defy nature.Humans are at the point of diminishing return where materialism will make them worst than the so call lower animals. May our homeland be saved from such demons and their promonents.

While there are no perfect people on this earth, I congratulate President Jammeh on knowing that, while his country may be hurting in many different ways, allowing free reign to those who break the laws of God and nature will not only hinder further progress, it will begin an undermining that will destroy it. In the comments by OHanlan, he references four American associations. As an American I will not bother to check ~ he is probably right. The homosexual lobby and movement have been tearing apart our country from within for a very long time, and with the active help of said associations. This is not being done because of good ‘science’, for if real science was involved, there would no such endorsements. It took a number of years, but the homosexuals and their hyper-liberal friends finally had enough votes to change what is common sense into their agenda. While I do not personally know President Jammeh or his overall value system, he at least knows one, or both, of two truths: On the spiritual side, God said No. On the secular side, there is a REASON why two members of the same sex cannot have children ~ it is not meant to be, nor will it ever be. I pray that his country will never have to witness what mine does on a daily basis; children are not allowed to pray to their God in school, yet being taught that it’s perfectly normal to mate with one’s own sex. I love my country, I have spent many years serving my country, and I weep for my country. Bravo, Mr. President!

I am not a real supporter of President Jammeh, but I am really in support of his initiative to fight against gays and homosexuals. These type of creatures I would call them are not good in any society and MUST never be entertained in any God fearing society. BRAVO Mr. President you have taken the bull by the horn. By this I mean, you have taken the bold step to kick against what the super powers are legalising. They kick against the use of drugs, but encourage gayism which can lead to AIDS. DOWN WITH GAYISM and BRAVO TO PRESIDENT JAMMEH for fighting the gays and homosexuals who are in the peaceful and loving Gambia to distroy the societal norms and values. KEEP IT UP YAHYA JAMMEH GOD WILL FOREVER PROTECT YOU.

I wonder how many gays will be running for their lives. President Jammeh a desperate man indulging in a divide and rule politics...while he appeases his Iranian masters...desperate....desperate.....Let us campaign for the law to come after you one day.

gambians are ignorant, never-changing, stuck in the past.. Yes it was once said if you don't stand for something you fall for anything. Every one is entitled to their own opinion. But don't think because of a few new landmarks and etc that we are coming up...sure it looks good from the outide but there is no shit being done elsewhere.with all the respect to islam there are only a few of us that actual practice what the quran says, some of us merely pick and choose, live in a world of infidelity and inequality..way to go! the president can go to hell for all i care along with his blind followers

this measures that the president took is certainly necessary to keep the country from those ill minded thinking that the so called freedom is to act sub animal thank you mr president may God help you

Well, I certainly understand religious beliefs, but let me ask you this; Which is worse, a homosexual, or someone who will MURDER any other human who doesnt share the same beliefs?

Wish next time Dr.yaya,worries about all old nordic and british prostitutes travelling in the gambia to have sex with young gambians.The gambia is a sexual touristic destination to all frustrated old and young but mainly ugly fat women looking for sex.The gambia is the thailand of africa.i'm sure that islam forbidden too these practises and not only homosexuals.So #dr.yahya something# worry about the level of poverty of your people and don't be a clown.Your country is one of poorest of world,people ignorant is paining,and all your silly tricksis to distrait the people.Half of your tourists are gays and old swedish ,norvegian and other nordic vicious women,and if they stopped move to your country your tourism will be in bankruptcy.Many gambians males have secret sexual gay reports with foreigners.Is taboo in your coutry but is the reality.Don't be hypocritic dr.yahya,don't forget in past you was fulani and now you are a fake muslim

GAMBIAN IS RULED BY MAD MAN. WHAT ASHAME.

GAMBIANS ONE DAY THEY WALK UP PRESIDENT JAMEH KILLED 100 PEOPLE AND KILLED HIMSELF. PLS GAMBIANS WALK UP WALK UP BEFORE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GAMBIA.

Indeed, Gambia may be rule by a mad man but at the same time we Gambians have never and will NEVER condone homosexuality in her society.

We still hear the echos of the West of "protecting their beliefs and values..". Maybe one of those values include homeless people sleeping rough in the streets or children as young as 12 years involve in BINGE drinking!

Gambians too have beliefs and values to protect, and we are determined to defend those values at any cost. Am sorry homosexuality is NOT a value that our society cherish.

Gambians are good and friendly and welcome ours to visit and stay with us BUT at the same time we expect you to RESPECT our beliefs, laws and values.

GAMBIAN IS RULED BY MAD MAN. WHAT ASHAME.

GAMBIANS ONE DAY THEY WALK UP PRESIDENT JAMEH KILLED 100 PEOPLE AND KILLED HIMSELF. PLS GAMBIANS WALK UP WALK UP BEFORE BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GAMBIA.

WE are very much concerned about this discrimination of the Gambians president. It shows that homophobia and rassisim are going hand in hand. Its not only that thousands of tourists will not come back again to The Gambia, but also that noone will investigate money into a country that behaves like we in europe did in the middle ages. This president is just a fool cause he dont understand, that those gays who used to come also brought money into the country. They helped the families finanilly, they supported school fees, private schools and a lot more. This has now an end, until Gambia has got a new president and a liberal politics. Fact is also that there are also Gambian gays. They will have to seek for refugue in Europe or America. Real love never can be a sin, but prostitution, lying, to steal, corruption.... is. So he has to cut off everyone head, couse nobody in this world is without sin. I feel sorry for my Gambian friends and their families, but i wont come back again into the Gambia. I believe in the One God, but God is Love and not a hater of people who have a heart for the poor.
