Robert Mugabe just shouted "We are not gays" in his UN speech

[MaxShimba]

Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe deviated from his prepared speech at the UN general assembly to declare "we are not gays", drawing some laughter and applause.

Ironically, the 91-year-old leader's remarks came during a speech on human rights.

Respecting and upholding human rights is the obligation of all states, and is enshrined in the United Nations charter. Nowhere does the charter abrogate the right to some to sit in judgment over others, in carrying out this universal obligation. In that regard, we reject the politicisation of this important issue and the application of double standards to victimise those who dare think and act independently of the self-anointed prefects of our time.

We equally reject attempts to prescribe 'new rights' that are contrary to our values, norms, traditions, and beliefs. We are not gays! Cooperation and respect for each other will advance the cause of human rights worldwide. Confrontation, vilification, and double-standards will not.

"We are not gays" was not in the prepared remarks issued to journalists ahead of delivery and appears to have been ad-libbed by Mugabe, whose government has been accused of blatant human rights abuses. Male same-sex sexual activity is illegal in the country and LGBT activists face repeated crackdowns and abuse.

Did u copy? This man is real. There's no reason for men to marry each other. I see this is heavily campaigned on Tv shows nowadays! I fail to understand how does it happen to feel moved to a fellow masculine?!

Are you emotional? Attack the point fella
Do you think is Mugabe right? when he used a phrase of "new rights"
There is nothing like new rights when people are claiming for equal treatment and respect as the conviction of human dignity presupposes. Is that a new right?
Equal treatment under the law is about justice and human rights.

Unajuwa Zimbabwe wana hali gani kwa sasa wewe? Kuna mambo anafanya ya kipuuzi huyu mzee akidhani anawakomoa wazungu. Hakuna mtu aliyemlazimisha aruhusu mapenzi ya jinsi moja nchini kwake ( japo wanafanya) kujifanya unawadindia wazunngu wakati hapo hapo unaomba wakufungulie uchumi maana wananchi wanapata tabu.huu mimi nauita ufa.la. Mugabe hanaga pointi ya maana ya kuongea zaidi ya kueneza chuki na ubaguzi dhidi ya watu weupe.

Gays have no place in our African culture. Whites people is a cursed generation

 

[UncleBen]

Kuna raisi mmoja sijui Wa Gambia alisema mwananchi wake yeyote atakahusika na huo uchafu atamkata kichwa
Uhuru Kenyatta nae alimpa Obama za uso kwamba Kenya Ina mambo ya muhimu ya kushughulika nayo sio ushoga
Mkwere Wa Tz anachekacheka tu msimamo wake haujulikani

Mugabe should walk quietly into the sunset.Useless dictator.

Human rights trump culture, any culture which is inconsistent with this nobel ideal ought to be replaced by new one.

 

[simplemind]

Gays have no place in our African culture. Whites people is a cursed generation

Is it true that African culture has no gayism? Is denial a matter of political correctness?
