International News Report Namibian Official Says Gay Sex is Evil
Namibia's deputy home affairs minister, Jeremiah Nambinga, is
seeking to criminalize gay sex because he believes it's evil.
Nambinga made his suggestion April 19 during a budget debate in the National Assembly. "Homosexuality is evil, homosexuality is anti-social and should not only be condemned but should also be legislated against," Nambinga said. "Homosexuals are patients of psychological and biological deviations."
Namibian President Sam Nujoma has said: "Homosexuals must be condemned and rejected in our society. All necessary steps must be taken to combat all influences that are influencing us and our children in a negative way."
