Pls keep quiet
Republican party is full of evil people who only care about white interest.
Education to them they don't care. They defund it.
Womens rights zero.
Racism is their best friend.

Obviously you don't live in America that's why you're opening your big mouth to support the party that loathes you and your kind.
Mscheew
i hope u know the party who gave freedom to the african americans was the republican party, under prez bush africa saw alot of development. What did our brother obama and the democrates bring to us? Gay marriage. White americans are rascist be they republicans or democrates so u cant single out jux one party.

Its funny how people use 'God' only when it favours them in a debate like this one. When it doesn't, I'm sure you will say 'God works in mysterious ways' but on sexuality, you know God's thoughts.

Bravo!!!
lol, when GOD gives us permission, then we will allow gay marriages over here. For now we say no!

Did God give you permission to post this? I believe the permission won't come from God on same sex marriage. We aren't ready yet, but when we are, we will say a resounding YES! The decision is with us, the people.

Homosexuals are not responsible for the bad governance and poverty prevailing in Africa.


My position is that Homosexuality and the emphasis placed on it by Africans is just a waste of time that could be used to address real concerns and issues.

I can't debate with you bro.
It's obvious you're speaking with sentiments.
No sane black man who LIVES IN America would vote for a party that support the systematic oppression if black folks.
Like I said, it's easy to support republicans when you're not going to suffer the consequences of their horrid policies.
Republicans my foot. Their party and their policies are dying. And will keep dying.

1 Corinthians 11:14
Does not nature itself teach you that if a man
wears long hair it is a disgrace for him,

simply helps you to undastand d contradictions inherent in the bible u preach....if being a christian, implies being like Christ, and d bible says wearing a long hair is a disgraceful thing, is it then ok to conclude Jesus was a disgraceful person as it is on record, no blade ever touched his hair?

it is a disgrace for him however does not equate to it is a disgrace for God. If i go to church on foot n my mate or someone younger drives in with a rangerover, i might feel disgrace for myself, does dat make me a lesser in the sight of God?

This is a wonderful improvement...perhaps there's still hope for humanity...but I'd like to clear up a few misconceptions...

#1 Marriage is not a religious act at all, it is the state considering that two or more individuals are or have become one unit and are responsible for each other...the state can give said permission to religious people and sites like churches, mosques, Jedi temples, dudists,etc...

#2 Heterosexuality is not the default sexuality in most chordates,but it is the most common, other creatures like the Mexican whiptale lesbian lizards have to engage in s.ex with their fellow females to reproduce after the males went extinct..so if you're a fan of god/gods,why did it/him/her change it's mind 2000+- years ago?...or was it a human homophobe that inspired divine texts?.. undecided (I'll link this to an earlier post
https://www.nairaland.com/2410708/tb-joshua-reacts-new-gay/4#35250019

)

#3 Marriage is a right that has to do with consent...and also has to do with human rights...sadly we that claim "holier at thou" still have child marriages, death marriages, inheriting late wives,etc....this doesn't bother anyone here....but two grown individuals that willingly want to spend the rest of their lives together is a problem? undecided

#4 Open display of homosexual acts doesn't make you gay...I remember my early Schooling and could tell you that back then people freely expressed themselves freely...I saw a great many gals being explicitly attracted to other gals and boys being attracted to boys....it's not the perverted "sex,sex,sex,sex" that everyone or most people routinely think these relationships are about....they actively care about themselves like another pair or couple would...and today I have a girlfriend...so why didn't my interaction with them unleash a "gay demon" on me?... undecided

#5 Stup.idity isn't good...I'd hate to call anyone stupid but there comes a time when one needs to have a rethink over certain issues and have a balanced mind....as an atheist many people think of the phrase "there are no gods" as my catch-phrase, but it isn't....it's basically I don't believe in god/gods because of the same reasons you don't believe in other god/gods...they are either silly,not based in reality and at worse change ones perception of reality to a hostile one...like this homophobic thing...
So now, some things need to be considered when thinking about homosexuality for heterosexuals....like;

Can you wake up one day and instantly reject pu..ssy indefinitely?... grin

Can you also stop divorced prior from marrying, stop eating jerky and shrimp and mixed fabric like the bible also says?

Can you kill your own family member if you found out he/she was attracted to the same-sex if nothing appears to "change him/her"? undecided

#6 Why aren't people bothered with asexuals that do not even find sexuality speaking at all, nobody is screaming "death to asex" or "adam and eve,not adam alone"?....afterall most arguments people against homosexuality can be asked too and it'll still be nonsensical... grin


You better clear out from here, you disgusting gay.If we catch you, you are a dead man.You better repent from your sodomic way of life that is hated by God and every normal person before your mercy time is up.Seek for help and deliverance from the demonic spirit of homosexuality that you are clearly possessed with whether you agree or not.

As long as it doesn't affect us in anyway, i don't see how that is my business. What we won't tolerate is if they start forcing down their issues on straight people.
It really pains me the moral path people use to justify their hate of homosexuals. Their only REASONABLE EXPLANATION is that the bible told me so period. Other minor explanations include "it doesn't feel right and think about the impact on the growing children etc", now let's analyze this if these hypocrites would can explain why other non christian religions are legal in Nigeria or why you feel don't feel that way about Muslims or non christians knowing fully well your bible told u they are going to hell (jehova witness not exempted) if you cant offer any REASONABLE EXPLANATION then please crawl into your outdated last century rock and die a painful death. I keep wondering how people use this christian morals selectively. So next time you see a non christian brother or sister do the world a favour and tell them they won't make heaven because the bible says so. Homosexuals are as harmless as non christians and if you are afraid of impact on your kids or gays sexually molesting u..... Ask yourself what have you done about the public binge alcohol consumption and chain smoking by some Selected folks, also last time I checked sexual molesting involves both males and females and the females have been having it worse since the beginning

Clear out from here, its people like you that were inhabiting the cities of Sodom and Gomorah that provoked God to anger and made him release fire and brimstone from heaven to destroy the cities.Whether you want to change or not.Nigeria has no place for disgusting folks like you, who has left the natural use of women as created by God to go after strange affection with another guy and in the process bringing damnation.You are possesed with a homosexual demon.You badly need deliverance to return to normal state and that you should seek.

What the gay pride movement is about is the right of gay people to live in society without persecution or discrimination.

Isn't better if its about racism, making all race equal and above none??

Won't it be better if the black race in america or europe is given the right to live in society without persecution or discrimination??

OUR PRESIDENT IS MUSLIM pls hypocrites pray for his condemned soul and all other billions of Non christian souls cause on judgement day its gonna be surreal, imagine not all Christians will make heaven then you factor in other non christians who evidently might be upright and their only sin is not believing in christ and you begin to wonder how God will judge mankind

Look at your hateful comments. You are also sinning. It will be both you and homos in hell-fire.

God told us to love but he also told us to hate gay practice.Its impossible for any normal person to accept your way of life on the platform of love.No. Not possible. If your parents were Gay, Would you exist?

Wouldn't it be better if Africans put the eradication of poverty, meaningful development, education, and technological advancement in the forefront of discussions rather than discuss all day about the choice of two consenting adults to be together?

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.

I'm not gay by the way...although I wouldn't be offended by the term as it's just a place-holder for your insecurities.....

Stories of the christian god just seems to indicate mass failure and anger at everything the character in it does....make perfect images of itself.... FAIL! ....make perfect home for itself....
