Call for Reporting Gays in Zambia
According to Behind the Mask, the Vice-President of Zambia has called for Zambians to report suspected homosexuals so that they can be prosecuted.

“Zambia is a Christian nation and it shall continue to be so because it is part of our constitution. And acts such as homosexuality are not part of the Christian norm. In 2005, this house passed stiff laws against homosexuality. For people having carnal knowledge of each other against the order of nature the punishment is a minimum of 15 years imprisonment. If you have carnal knowledge of an animal you serve a minimum of 25 years”.

Vice president Kunda said, as a good number of parliamentarians said “yes, yes” “ I know there are some prominent people in our society who are practicing homosexuality, some of them are engineers, some are lawyers and some are journalists.”

At this point there were shouts of “shame” and more laughter among many parliamentarians, including the vice president himself.

“If you have information about such people, report them to the law enforcement agencies. There are also some people who are bisexual and they marry to cover up their activities, but at the end of the day we know them,” said vice president Kunda as the laughter increased in the house.

1. Gee, is the Vice President looking for a dating list?
It just seems to me that the people who get so "upset" about gay people are way in the back of the closet behind the winter coats.

Whatcha wanna bet he's one of those "marry to cover up" types? Why would he know so much about this sort of thing?

I say whoever smelt it, dealt it!

2. Ann Coulter and Michael Savage will eat this up.
"Make the USA a christian nation too!"
Hello Fred Phelps - can I buy you plane tickets to Zambia?

4. Nice thought.
However, Fred Phelps would probably be scared s***less upon arrival in Zambia. Too many people of color for his comfort zone.

5. Yeah, Fred would most probably decline.
He'd be afraid the cannibals would eat his kids.
