There is something nasty and undignified when the leaders of faith based oganisations club together to incite young people to threaten blood shed in homophobic attacks on fellow citizens. It is interesting how faith based organisations retreat into righteous indignation and violence in their reaction to those they do not approve of.
CONGRATULATION TO THE TWO BISHOPS; AFRICA DO NOT NEED SUCH A/AN EVIL AND DIRTY SEXUAL LIFESTYLE THAT WILL END UP HAUNTING AND FINALLY DESTROY US "AFRICANS" SOMEDAY. IF WE "AFRICANS" ALLOW SUCH A BEHAVIOUR, NEXT TIME WILL BE BATTELING AGAINST CHILD MOLESTATIONS AND OTHERS. THEN THE ENEMIES WILL BE HAPPY BY SAYING: THIS IS WHAT WE "THE ENEMIES" WANT - FOR AFRICA NOT TO BE DEVELOP IN ANY FORM OR HOW HARD THEY "AFRICANS" TRY TO DEVELOP THEIR CONTINENT!!! AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH BISHOPS IN KENYA.
