MANERELA links religious leaders and homosexual groups in Malawi

July 31, 2016 Elijah Phimbi -Nyasa Times

Malawi Network of Religious Leaders Living or Personally Affected by HIV and Aids (MANERELA+) on Friday 29th July 2016 held a Regional dialogue interface meeting between religious leaders and groups of people who engages themselves in different types of sexual activities called LGBTI [Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual, Transexual and Intersex].
The meeting held at Mkango Lodge in the Commercial City of Blantyre brought together pastors, Sheikhs, Prophets and individuals who are openly practicing LGBTI.

According to MANERELA+ official Allie Mwachande, the meeting was aimed at establishing gaps that exists in the faith community on issues to do with LGBTI.

Mwachande said it is high time Malawi as a nation including the faith community accept the reality that LGTBI is being practiced in Malawi and to talk openly about sexual diversities in human sexuality.

Being LGBT is an inherent characteristic, religion is a behavior and a practice. This is like a missive from the 1950's.
