Scott Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It seems that on a global scale, for every advance made somewhere, there is a step in the wrong direction somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It seems that on a global scale, for every advance made somewhere, there is a step in the wrong direction somewhere else.

AyG Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 And they haven't taken long to take action. Dozens arrested already. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/14/nigeria-arrests-dozens-anti-gay-law Interesting to note that the arrests are all in the northern part of the country - that is, the predominantly Moslem part. None in the Christian south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It's now clear that this is indeed Islamists targetting gay men. The 12 men are being tried by a Shariah court (not under secular law) and are facing being stoned to death.
