Who is the Olodo that wrote what is showing on FP?

Title should be "Mozambique Decriminalizes Homosexuality" or "Mozambique scraps Anti-Gay laws"
not "Cancels Ban".... sounds so unprofessional

CFCfan:
Mozambique decriminalized homosexuality Monday when a new penal code came into force that swept away old Portuguese colonial laws, in a victory for campaigners for gay rights.

The old code, dating back to 1886, targeted anyone “who habitually engages in vices against nature” — though no known prosecutions took place after Mozambique became independent in 1975.

Breaking the law was punishable by up to three years of hard labor.

“It's a symbolic victory, as social inclusion remains the main challenge,” Frank, a student gay rights activist who declined to give his full name, told Agence-France Presse.

The new penal code, which was announced last December by then President Armando Guebuza, also decriminalizes abortion after lobbying by civil rights organizations.

Women can now end a pregnancy until the 12th week. Extraordinary circumstances, such as rape or threats to the mother's life, allow for the procedure until the 16th week.

The code came into force on Monday, though no official events or celebrations were scheduled to mark the occasion.

The majority of African countries outlaw homosexuality, but Mozambique has seen little anti-gay violence or social friction over the issue.

Dercio Tsandzana, an influential blogger and activist, said there had been an absence of public discussion over homosexual rights.

“The government instead abides by the external pressure put by some embassies and foreign donors,” he said.

“Most Mozambicans don't deny homosexuality, but one can't say either that it is accepted.“

Despite a seven-year campaign, the Mozambican government has not officially recognized Lambda, the only gay rights organization in the country.

In neighboring Zimbabwe, President Robert Mugabe is known for his crusades against homosexuality, and discrimination is widespread across the continent.

Homosexuality is punishable by death in Sudan, Nigeria and Mauritania.

Nigeria is like someone standing in his house while it is on fire. However, he is looking out the window, complaining that the shirt a pedestrian walking by is wearing does not match his tie.

Nigerians need to focus on the mountains of rot that defines Nigerian society, and quit distracting themselves with issues that DO NOT affect their daily lives.

Few years ago it was a toboo for women to wear trousers, i mean good trousers. Not the nylon women wear now in public. And now trousers are are now accepted by my christian brothers, even many churches are even allowing ladies to wear bump shorts to church.
Now this gay issue! Oh my God is so irritating to discuss about talk more of watching a picture of it, is encrouching the land of birth (africa). I fear for our unborn children because soonest my country Nigeria will soon join them for not to be left alone by the so called civilisation. Hmmm.... Our children will lose sense of morality. They will term me it normal. Oh i cry for my fellow Africans, bc once we accept this rubbish over sabi go dey worry us. We go over do d thing.

Pls stop exaggerating, no one wears bump shorts to church. When you give birth to your girls, make them wear mary amaka skirts. Just so you know, women wear trousers for more reasons than trying to show curves. But you wouldn't know that, anyway please stop being ignorant. And don't even compare this day to the days of old. At least then, the men actually took care of their women so they really didn't need to go out much. I'll stop here.

Kiss ass Mozambique bending their laws for a dollar. angry

Even if the world accepts gay rights, Robert Mugabe will never take it into consideration not to talk of reviewing it. And The Gambia's president earned my respect when he said he'll kill any citizen found practicing the act

I know ignorant hateful people will rush to comment based on some cultural/religious trash.
Bottom line is we cant wish gays away. If u pretend they dont exist, the consequences are worse:

1. Gays will be forced to marry the opposite sex. Which means either you, your bro or sister will be married to a gay without knowing.

2. Risk of disease will increase. Because whether or not u ban gays, they will continue to secretly have sex (DL). Which means the risk of contacting std will be high

3. More divorces in future. Revert to 1 because a gay man can never love a woman. Its basically a marriage of convenience

4. Bad for d economy. No foreigner wants to come to a place thats notorious for violation of human rights

5. Hiv increases. Revert to 2

You should see a psychiatrist. Your comment is full of unnecessary hate and anger. Either you are secretly gay and pretending or you are in denial. A real straight person is not affected like this by issues that dont concern him. I mean, whats your business with what two people are doing inside their room?

Are sure you attend church at all... Ok to make things easier for you, try and watch the so called christian musics..... You'll cry. I don't wanna call names but i have visited a church where ladies wore bump shorts and performed on the alter. No matter any escuse dear, its wrong. Just give us any reason why women should dress indecently in such a holy place.

What is good is good what is bad is bad, gay is against nature lets forget about religion, if we all start practicing gay who or whom will bore the children we will adopt. No to gayism in nigeria, frankly speaking it will lead to bloodshed especially among naija men for instant if gay is legalise in naija the homos will have the full confidence to approach another guy on the way for sex/friendship which might result in attack, if any naija love being gay he/she should save people and travel to mozambique or any other europeans/america country that is allow

If its made legal here, the rights would be over-abused . Gays will make advances at any kind of male as a form of exercising their rights . Same sex rape cases everywhere because hell has been let loose.

Homosexuality is an abnormality ...religiously or not . Moves to correct this sexual defect should have been made and not condoning it.

Pedophiles will soon be seeking their own rights .

Why is homosexuality accepted and not Pedophilia or in.cest or beastiality ? Its all about love right? And freedom of sexual preference?

The end is truly near ... more drama will unfold

America will be FREELY IN BONDAGE

[b] PLEASE READ FREINDS grin

I saw an ad :"lose 5kg in a
week" in a newspaper.
I called the company & lady says
be ready tomorrow at 6am.

The next morning i opened the
door & finds a hot babe with just
shoes, undergarments & shirt
saying : "u catch me u Bleep me!"
&
the girl starts running.
I started running but doesn't
catch her. During the whole
week
i tried to catch her but couldn't.
However i lost 5 kg.
I then asked for the 10kg
program.

Next morning at 6 i opened the
door and saw an even hotter
babe in shoes, thong & a shirt
saying: "u catch me u Bleep me".
I lost 10 kg that week. So i
thought this program is
awesome!
Lets try the 25 kg! So i asked
for
the 25 kg but the lady said "R u
sure ? its really tough".
I said
"YES! grin emoticon "

Next day at 6 i opened the door,
i found a gay in just underwear
saying.. "If I catch u, I will Bleep
u.."
.
.
.

.
.
That day i lost 40KG!
