Nigeria is preparing to pass laws that makes it a crime, punishable by 5 years of hard labor, for two gay people to be in the same place, or for someone to express gay love in a letter. What the fuck? Actually I guess they're getting off light, considering that under Islamic law, gay sex requires the offenders be stoned to death, which also happens in lovely Nigeria.
But it isn't just the asshole Muslims that are behind this. Jesus is all in favor of it too:
The new bill has the support of Nigeria's Anglican Church, and its leader Archbishop Peter Akinola who has been at the forefront of opposing gay clergy in the denomination. Conservative Anglican churches in the US have aligned themselves with Akinola.This gigantic bigotard, who is some kind of Christian leader in the United States, calls Akinola "a shining example of one brave man" for his inflamation of hatred.

The Anglican support of this is related to a huge schism going on right now in that denomination. More sensible Anglicans are obviously opposed to this but this guy Aginkola or whatever has been scooping up followers largely in Latin America. At least that's my recollection of this.
