The bible was written by a bunch of idiots! If you say it was written or inspired by a god, then I am sorry to day that he (god) is one great imbecile, cruel and sadistic being! I would be very embarrassed to worship such a monster, given the contents of the bible! So, what ever you say about gays, the educated masses employ rational thought and objective evidence and Not ancient superstores dogma written for moronic sheep, oh I forgot that Jesus is the Shepherd and you are his flock of sheep!!!
We have our constitution that this Peter Mutharika swore to observe and protect. Now what is this about moratorium on homosexuality penal code?
