Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, who in the
past has called tolerance for gay rights “unnatural” and “filth,” has yet again made his views known
surrounding recent political and social gains made by LGBT individuals.
Speaking on Tuesday at a rally at the Aerodrome
Grounds in Mutare, Mugabe described LGBT people as “worse than pigs, goats and
birds” and threatened to behead them, according to NewsDay.
“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. This thing (homosexuality) seeks to destroy
our lineage by saying John and John should wed, Maria and Maria should wed…
Obama says if you want aid, you should accept the homosexuality practice… We
will never do that.”
