Malawi gay movement gets 15, 000 euros boost
The underground Malawi Gay Movement (MGM) will receive 15 000 Euros from their Netherlands counterparts (name withheld) to help in establishing the movement in the country.
According to MGM official, who declined to be named fearing the government wrath, some of the money will go towards bringing all the gays and lesbians together and build a powerful force.
“We want to have a powerful movement which will enable us to get settled in the country. We want to be recognised just as any other social groups. Currently it is threatening in the country to come out and say you are gay just like what happens to Malawian friends.
“We are also going to use the same money to help this couple in legal fees. They are our friends and groundbreakers, they have done us proud and we cannot leave them,” said the source.
The source said they are planning to launch a massive campaign to lobby the parliament to legalise gay marriages as human right.
However, the Minister of Information Leckford Thotho haswarned that any attempt by anyone within or outside the country to bring gay relationships in the country will be punished.
“This is a cultured and religious country, so nobody should try to bring in this issue,” he said
Recently Blantyre street children, disclosed that they have been molested, and foreigners, by forcing them to sleep with them.
The movement plans to launch a massive campaign to lobby National assembly to legalise same-sex marriages.
