    THE TRUTH IS THAT AFRICANS ARE JUST NOT RECEPTIVE TO THIS TYPE OF PRACTICE.. AFRICANS STRUGGLED FOR THIER INDEPENDENC E THEY WERE TORTURED BEATEN WOMEN RAPED CHILDREN RAPED BY THE OPPRESORS. SO WHEN WE HEAR OF THIS FOOLISHNESS COMPARING THIS TO THE LIBERATION STRUGGLE OF ALL AFRICA TO EQUATE SODOMY WITH REVOLUTION AND STRUGGLE IS OFFENSIVE RUDE DISRESPECTFULL. THERE ARE OVER ONE BILLION PEOPLE IN AFRICA MOSTLY YOUNG OR VERY OLD THESE PEPLE OF AGE WENT THREOUGH LIFE AS SAME SEX PEOPLE RAISING THEIR CHILDRFEN HOPING FOR GRAND CHILDREN AND EVEN GERAT GRANDCHILDREN!!!.. THIS ALEIN ASSERTION THAT AFRICANS NEED TO SUBMIT TO THIS INQUITY IS JUST NOT WASHING WITH THE MAJOURITY OF AFRICANS . SHOULD YOU CONTINUE TO SURVEY AFRICA FROM THE NORH TO THE SOUTH EAST TO THE WEST YOU WILL FIND THAT AFRICANS ARE JUST NOT INTO THAT SEXUAL PERVERSION. I WILL MAKE MENTION THAT AFRICA IS THE OLDEST CONTINENT ON THE PLANET WITH RESPECT OF THE OLDEST CULTURES ONTHE PLANET; SO IF YOU HAVE TO COME TO AFRICA AND MAKE SUCH A FUSS AS IF YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING THAT NO ONE WANTS TO BUY!!!. IF THIS BEHAVIOUR HAD ANY MERIT AFRICANS FROM COAST TO COAST WOULD NOT NEED TO BE PRESSURED YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO MAE SUCH DRAMATIC REMARKS AS IF THE PEOPLE DO NTO EMBRACE THIS LIFE STYLE THEY WILL DIE IMEDIATELY????THIS SHOWS YOU THAT THE CAMPAIGN YOU ARE RUNNING IS WEAK AND FALLING ON DEAF EARS!!! HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS WORTH OF CULTURE!!!! THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER??????????THIS "THE LAND OF MONOTHEISM AND POLYGAMY"!!!!! NOT POLYTHEISM AND MONOGAMY

    This is Africa not west. our leaders should come up with laws that can stop unnatural and inhuman practice like homosexuality lesbianism and gay that is allow in the west. such practice is against God's law which is the ultimate law for mankind. homosexuals and lesbians should be sentence to death by hanging.

    Which society is this? If it is Cameroon, I am not surprised. Remember last year when I made a few fair comments about them? Some guy who claimed to know everything about me claimed that he was coming to Miami to hang me. See for yourselves! Am I wrong to under-rate their thought process? Think before you answer please.
