“I’ll Behead Homosexuals...” Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe

Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu was quoted saying, “If God is homophobic – hates gay or has negative attitudes and feelings towards homosexuality – then I will rather go to hell instead of worship Him”. Shocked? Hold on till you get The Pope’s statement, “If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him?" Now your mouth can be left ajar for centuries.

These men of God happen to know the bible back to back and if religion can be dug up one more time, then it’s narrated that God Almighty destroyed a whole city (Sodom & Gomorrah) because of this same behavior. Confused? Not yet!

The Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe has probably enough of these big talks. So he came out to make it categorically clear to all his citizens that he ‘will not’ give God any reason to destroy the country he loves so dearly as to die serving it.

The president has always been against legalizing this behavior in any part of the world referring to it as ‘unnatural and unacceptable’. Addressing the Zulu PF Party members prior to the July 31st elections, he stated that gay citizens are worse than ‘pigs, goats and birds’ put together and he will not stop criminalizing them.

“If we take two grown men who claim they are homosexuals and lock them up in a room for five years and if they fail to produce children, I will chop off their heads... Instead we will raise the statues of women and then accuse other African countries of adulterating our African Culture just for aid”...President Mugabe sternly delivered.

There have been some mixed reactions coming from his people who fear if he’s just being cynical or his old age is having the better part of him. “We will wait and hope he keeps to his words” were some of the comments put out that same day.

Good thing there is a famous old face saying something different, at least now we all have the option of choice. However, the continent has more pertinent issues on her plate to deal with rather than pouring too much energy into something that those practicing it in Africa are even ashamed to step forward!

Am I right or am I right?
