    What the hell is this motherfucker talking about? God have mercy on us

  • The African Patriot 10 years ago

    It is world wide known that Popes and Bischops especially from the Roman Catholic are all GAYS!!!

    If we need to lynch anyone we should start it from the TOP. The Gay leaders come first.

    Before doing so, one must ask him ...

    What is your point here,should we disregard pastors or what the pastor is saying and start to kill homosexuals? I belief you have demons in you which is even more horrible than being homo.

  • THE SOLUTION MASTER 10 years ago

    Unlike Obama and Cameron of UK; I will propose the governments of Africa to make strict laws against harassments towards gays highly punitive, instead of legalisising the acts.

  • The African Patriot 10 years ago

    The act is already legalised by those who practise it. As one commentator said it before, gay is a feeling that can not be shift away like powder. Gays existence is nature that means from the beginning of our nature.
