Gambian President Yahya Jammeh: Gays are ‘vermin’ and should be treated worse than mosquitoes

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has referred to gay people as “vermin”, saying they should be dealt with in the same way as mosquitoes which cause malaria.

President Jammeh made the comments on Tuesday. He has in the past referred to gays as a threat to humanity, saying a year ago that gay rights were a “great mistake” for Africa and that “human beings of the same sex cannot marry or date”.

“We will fight these vermins called homosexuals or gays the same way we are fighting malaria-causing mosquitoes, if not more aggressively,” he said in a speech made to mark the country’s 49th anniversary of independence from Britain.

Echoing similar sentiments made by a representative of the Ugandan Government also today, the Gambian president suggested the country would not accept aid from any country if the welfare of LGBT people is a condition.

“We will therefore not accept any friendship, aid or any other gesture that is conditional on accepting homosexuals or LGBT as they are now baptised by the powers that promote them,” he said.

“As far as I am concerned, LGBT can only stand for Leprosy, Gonorrhoea, Bacteria and Tuberculosis; all of which are detrimental to human existence,” he added.

Mr Jammeh has ruled Gambia since a military coup in 1994.

In 2008, he was strongly criticised by EU officials after he vowed to introduce laws stricter than those in Iran, where gay acts between men are punishable by death.

The president retracted a threat to decapitate gay people in Gambia, but said they would be driven out of their homes.

Same-sex activity in the country is punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment.

Earlier today a Ugandan minster said Ugandans would rather “die poor” and give up international aid, than give up a soon-to-be introduced law which further criminalises homosexuality.

Is it wrong to post such topics, or is it best that we don't post them, for a worry about causing offense?

Please Discuss...

I find Yahya Jammeh's views far more offensive than posting them and showing them to the world ...

I post such topics, because i believe in human rights, and when some fucking racists and homophobes, they tell me that it's wrong to post these stories, then they cling to the gay people, that don't really say that much over civil rights issues, but merely contribute to such threads (when they feel the need to)

I say FUCK YOU!....You can pick and choose the discussions that you want to get involved in, but some get in bed with racists and homophobes, from time to time...Perhaps we need the militants as much as the lilly livered Liberals, that don't know what they are talking about?

COWARDS.

LIBERAL PARTY!

C**s!

Abhorrent views like above should always be highlighted and condemned.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with posting such threads.

Who has said you shouldn't, Mr Catman?

Black people all over the world seem very homophobic.

I recall these issues being brought up on British TV - homosexuality in the black and asian communities. Apparently it is a very sensitive subject - why is it so different in those communities Mr Catman?
