The president of Zimbabwe continued his long record of vicious antigay rhetoric on Tuesday, when he told a group of supporters of the nation's ruling Zanu PF party that gay men should be decapitated if they cannot conceive children, according to U.K. LGBT site Pink News.
Speaking before thousands at a rally at Aerodrome, Mugabe said, "If you take men and lock them in a house for five years and tell them to come up with two children and they fail to do that, then we will chop off their heads," according to Zimbabwe's NewsDay.
Mugabe went on to say that gay people are "worse than pigs, goats, and birds." He also reaffirmed previous statements that Zimbabwe would never decriminalize homosexuality, chastising president Obama for tying international aid to support for the basic human rights of LGBT people.
"This thing [homosexuality] seeks to destroy our lineage by saying John and John should wed, Maria and Maria should wed," said Mugabe, according to NewsDay. "Imagine this son born out of an African father, [President] Obama says if you want aid, you should accept the homosexuality practice. Aah, we will never do that.

(794 posts)A lot of "intellectual" and legislative support for these obscene government attitudes towards the LGBT population comes from American right wing neo-Christian fundamentalists. They arent allowed to live out their right wing fantasies of murdering homosexuals in America because of our bill of rights, so the cowardly homophobes fund murder of LGBT individuals in countries with huge human rights issues. This is what that chicken sandwich from chil fila pays for. Nothing like funding the decapitation of your fellow humans with your lunch. Hate-filled cowardly bigots continue to support Chik Fil-a because they find humor in the murder of homosexuals. These sick fucks are sick fucks whether they are African politicians or American politicians. Fuck homophobes and the hatred they have for mankind.

Instead of worrying about two dudes screwing, he should worry about how badly he has screwed his country.
Mugabe is a useless bag of shit.
