Operation Gays Out: Kenya ska renas från hbt

Det började med ett rykte i Kenya om att hbt-personer skulle gifta sig. Detta ledde i sin tur till att religiösa ledare höll en presskonferens där de fördömde homosexuella.

“Come night, come day, we shall not allow that marriage to be conducted in this town tomorrow (Friday). We shall stand firm to flush out gays who throng this town every weekend from all corners of this country,’’ the religious leaders said in a statement after their meeting.

Gay Kenyans Warned to Flee for Safety

"In Kenya homosexuality is punishable by up to 14 years in jail.
Human Rights Watch is putting the spotlight on Kenya's antigay actions this week, as it calls on the government to stop allowing violence against gays. Several religious leaders have also come together to form a group called Operation Gays Out, which aims to "flush out gays"
“The government is sitting silent while mobs try to kill human rights defenders and assault people they suspect are gay,” Dipika Nath, Human Rights Watch's researcher on LGBT rights said in a report. “Inaction is complicity, and silence can be lethal."
A massive rally against gays is planned for Saturday, Sheik Ali Hussein declared on the radio. The attacks and the government’s failure to act have spread fear in the country's LGBT population, Human Rights Watch officials said. Several people have gone into hiding; others are preparing to flee their homes at a moment’s notice."

Ni kristna som så ofta med ett överlägset suckande och ibland förlöjligande ton vill påminna oss om hur syndiga vi hbt-personer är och hur vi smutsar ner sanning, tro, moral, heder och tradition för er... när ni har kallat oss syndare mår ni bättre då?

Operation Gays Out in Kenya: Christian & Muslim youths "baying for blood"
_____________________
They arrested five suspected homosexuals, including two who were rescued from youths baying for their blood but the local police chief later said no charges would be preferred.
“I sent Mtwapa OCS to rescue them from angry residents baying for their blood because they were trying to conduct that marriage between men,” said Kilifi police chief Grace Kakai.
--- But the protesting youth, banded together under the banner of the so-called Operation Gays Out, were not done yet...
Women who were among protesting locals, yelled at the top of their voices and called for an operation to flush out lesbians also claimed to be living among locals.
“God created men to provide sexual pleasure to us (women). What will happen now that they have turned to each other? Who will marry our daughters."

Orkar inte kommentera så mycket eller ens översätta galenskapen som sprider sig i Afrika. Jag blir bara förbannad, ledsen och ödslig. Så trött på hur överjävligt hbt-personer blir behandlade av kyrkan i världen, i Sverige.
Kyrkan sviker... gör ingenting. De små, ynkliga, slutna som predikar över vår synd, lämnar över oss till en mobb och tvår sina händer. Dom tror sig ha frälst en människa eller två.
Jag tillhör kyrkan också. Ibland vill jag inte. Jag vill mindre å mindre. Jag vill inte vara delaktig i det här. Varje gång jag lämnar min kollekt till kyrkans arbete i världen oroar jag mig för att delar av den summan jag ger skall nå de som gör hbt-personer illa. Jag vill inte.

...barmhärtighet, var tog du vägen?
Gud hjälp oss.

Jag återkommer när jag känner mig lite trevligare... eller hur jag nu ska vara.
