People who are for repealing of the law should understand that majority of people copy what is surrounding them. Take it that a kid is growing among gorrillas, surely he/she will act like a gorrilla. The same applies to a situation where a kid is exposed to homosectual people, surely he will act like one. Therefore, much as we are of the view that let them act in privacy, surely this will have a bearing on future generations. Further, the current law prohibite homosectual acts, and these gentlemen have no right to request that the community police be investigated for… Read more »

Jj,

I am thinking you might be created upside down. I am sorry for that. But you mean you can not understand that God did not create gays? You mean you can’t know that after God created man and woman some human creatures rebelled against Him and are behaving in opposite manner? You mean an adulterer was created by God to be so? What a shall mind! l think you need to enrol in std 1 to have your mental capacity rejuvenated.

To all the homophones and Christians. I am sick and tired of your hypocritical nature like saying god created Adam and Eve, firstly if your god is that wise why create homosexuals in the first place? If sex is for procreation, why do millions of bigoted Christians use contraceptives? Have you ever considered the fact that your beloved jesus might have been a faggot himself, given his lifestyle? Surrounding himself with 12 men and being unmarried? Furthermore, jesus spent a night with a NAKED YOUNG man in the garden before being arrested! Do you read your bibles?

This issue is religiously sensitive. There is need to critically understand religious beliefs. I remember when one top Government official from one of our donors’ partners’ countries was asked as to whether their Aid would be tied to homosexuality issue, he said NO. He added that they he knew our cultural pattern on the issue and they (their countries) were in the same thinking situation 100 years ago. What it means is that their belief in homosexuality is different from what it was 100 years ago. Why is it that, over the years, there has been a change in the… Read more »

No one is asking anyone to become a homosexual. This practice is there in our society, naturally. We even have vernacular words for it. Why should people who love each other not be allowed to stay together and appreciate or celebrate their love in privacy? Just like heterosexuals cannot do certain things in public, so too homosexuals. Let the. Privately enjoy their acts, as long as it is between consenting adults. Don’t interfere in private intimate matters between consenting adults. It’s not your body parts being used!,

It is a good thing to leave to the participants matters of the bedroom between consenting adults. But indeed this cannot be through constraining law enforcement. Before a class action is taken against those who are frustrating law enforcement, the government must be transparent on its intention and repeal the laws it does not want enforced. The moratorium on homosexual laws must be escalated to de criminalization and mass social mobilization. The gay community should learn to respect laws and to use the right processes to gain community understanding. Activism though necessary is not sufficient. Education about social diversity and… Read more »

Zimbabwean president Sir Comrade Robert Gabriel Mugabe told the western countries that Gays are worse than Dogs once and for all, So why the Malawi Government is failing to make its stand on Gay issue like what Mugabe did?

Just remove the archaic law. We’re not concerned about what consenting adults do in their bedrooms. Bravo APM for the moratorium but you need to go all the way. we have bigger problems to worry about, not gay issues.
