MR. GAY WORLD TO BOAST FOUR AFRICAN FINALISTS
Organisers have announced that the upcoming Mr. Gay World contest in Johannesburg will, for the first time, see four finalists from Africa taking to the stage.
“It’s a major development. It’s the first time that black Africans will participate, which sends out a powerful message of hope to LGBTI people in Africa. A message that there are role models and that one can live as a successful and open LGBTI person,” said Coenie Kukkuk, Africa Director for Mr. Gay World.
The delegates representing Africa are Robel Gizaw Hailu from Ethiopia, Wendelinus Hamutenya from Namibia, Lance Weyer from South Africa and Taurai Zhanje from Zimbabwe.
Homosexuality is illegal in 38 African countries, with Mauritania, Sudan, and northern Nigeria allowing for the death penalty.
Kukkuk noted: “It’s significant that an Ethiopian delegate is participating. The capital city Addis Ababa is the seat of the African Union, so it sends a strong political message”.
He added that other African delegates might be considered for the contest.
“Only those countries that have national competitions which are licensed to Mr Gay world are invited to participate. Due to space and logistics there is a quota for every continent and the four spaces allocated to Africa are now filled,” explained Kukkuk.
“However, should any other continent not fill its quota then applications for extra delegates will be considered.”
South Africa previously won the Mr. Gay World title in 2010 and 2011.
In December last year, shortly after he was crowned the first-ever Mr. Gay Namibia, Hamutenya was assaulted by men who demanded his winnings. There were fears at the time that the incident could hamper efforts by Mr. Gay World to secure more African delegates.
Earlier that year local group LGBTI Namibia declined to endorse the Mr. Gay Namibia contest, in part due to fears of a backlash against gays and lesbians in the country.
The 2012 Mr. Gay World competition will be held in Johannesburg from 4 to 8 April. Mr. Gay World describes its mission as being “to advance national and international gay rights through education and public performance”.
Rovi, you did it indeed! I am really proud of you! And I wish you all my best. Your old friend from A.A

As a national of Ethiopia It is really frustrating .For Ethiopians who are highly cultured religious and conservatives it is unacceptable. This is and indication that the time to lose our last breath as a nation and as culturally prosperous country is coming closer. Our religion, culture and ethics were our wealth and now it is being washed away . We are economically poor but culturally proud and prosperous in-front of the world. No choice; the choice is only between Blessed Ethiopia or cursed Ethiopia . Every body has to decide right now no time we are on the verge death as a nation.
Hello
Do u think that being culturally richer than economically benefit for one country?
Think before speak
ato Temesgen! our country is also full of dark history; dont be blinded to it: our church has rejected technology and science in the name of faith for years! if it was not for strong leaders who resisted and pushed for change we would have been like afganistan, saudi and other religiously fanatic countries! so stop displaying faults as victory! of course we have good history but we also have bad history and its upto a rational mind to see the difference….
So do you want to remain in darkness if so that is your choice. For me as a human being i always pick the good from the past history and look a head to build more beautiful history. That is how humans normally expected to think. I think your brain need to be formatted so that you can get more space in your brain to think 360 degree.
This is not civilized way you build an argument. Culture is the value system that guides how the society should interact with nature. People who have no culture are confused people. To benefit from the economy you need to have good value system and that comes only from culture.You cannot become prosperous by selling your culture. So it is not about which is better. You do not build an economy on space. Read and think in civilized way.
hey u..do you think economic problem is going to solve by disrespecting the culture …i am really sorry for this kind of thinking …
weather u believe it or not Ethiopia doesn’t want gay people !!!! we have enough culture to be proud of ..we don’t need extra bad thing…….
Eden , I agree with you. These people are getting mad. Gay right is not an issue for us. Why not they speak about other basic rights. First we have to know where we come from , who we are and the value system of the community we come from. If we are not willing to know all these things and abide by the norm of the community we are definitely wrong and we need to look inside until we understand the value of being created as a human being.
tanks for ur stupidity u have no right to kill some one else coz he is born like this way this is not ur business at all. why u are not live ur live as u are. do u think u love ur country and staying in south Africa?
OMG!! its shocking !!
…. and turn back & scan your life. Confidentially, there’s something Embarrassing more than this. may be more than ONE!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Seriously! it’s not a curse. i’ve been gay ever since i opened my eyes. no one pushed me through this or forced me to be. am just Me! i mean… if its a kind of curse or result of something awful… why am i created with a feeling? no one touches me or lay a hand on me still.
would you guys just shut your f*** mouth. before you start teaching or judging someone learn to follow or accept someone for who he is or be. First, start working & try to pull out your ‘Blessed Ethiopia’ from poverty…. i am an Ethiopian. i know my country. it’s an honor to be called a blessed country, but for sure …. are we good enough to be called ‘Blessed’? i don’t think so! Robel is living his life, so you’ve learn something from him, LIVE YOUR LIFE. !!!
Go Robel all power to u.
We are very proud of these guys and we stand with them – despite what these people who live in the dark ages, like the other (not all) Ethiopians one here, say.
PROUD OF YOU
YOU BECOME THE PIONEER AND THE SUPER MODEL FOR ETHIOPIAN GAYS
WE LOVE YOU ALL
YOU CAN’T KILL HIM FOR SURE YOU WILL DIE BEFORE YOU TRY IT
matured
You are a beautifull brave man… pride and Joy to all queer Ethiopians/Africans!
Thank you Robi
do u think development is like this,open your eyes and watch what u are really doing.. guys u should be out of your mind….what the hell you are thinking? this is Ethiopia the faithful country .. the whites are using u as a tool for their stance ….this is evil…be back to your normal state of mind…
Wish you all the best Robiye…you are a brave soul…
but I fear for the gays back in Addis…maybe the religious leaders will force the Government to change the law and impose death penalty/life imprisonment for gays…especially coming so soon after the ICASA fiasco…
u guys should be out of your mind….what the hell you are thinking? this is Ethiopia the faithful country .. the whites are using u as a tool for their stance ….this is evil…be back to your normal state of mind…

wow what a nice comment this one? but i have one big question for u HOW DO U KNOW THIS IS DISEASE? ANY WHO GAVE U RIGHT TO KILL HUMAN BEING BEFORE TO SAY ANY THING BE SURE ABOUT UR SELF? THIS IS HIS BUSINESS NOT UR BUSINESS OK. REALLY I FILL SHAME BEING ETHIOPIAN COZ OF UR MIND. U HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK SOME ONE BUSINESS DO UR BUSINESS ONLY!!
This is the big advertising by western people , I will call all Ethiopian to get together to force a law a Death penalty for those homosexual in Ethiopian , Ethiopian governors to keep self interest from wester countries . For example , one englishe paralament said give ethiopian goverment give freedoms for gay or we gonn stop donation , so the government screamed .we Ethiopian Christian and Muslim must infore a law for homosexual is a death penalty in Ethiopia I swear a god I will kill all of them , because homosexual is white people disease and they want to transmits to Africa , those davil white people give u money to make advertise right , I recogenised u face , I will kill uuuuuuuuuu , I will burn uuuuuuuuu
call Ethiopia to work and grow … not to hate. Why don u wory much when a 78 yr old man rapes a 9 year old girl ?
Hey Robi …. I thought u were a kind of guy who would not out in centuries. You shared the first experience to know a lot about this life in one of the towers with me and while we talked u were some what brave and said u would face any consequence which would come cause u happened to be wht u are. I guess u did wht was in ur mind. Now … what is done is done and I hope u would be comfortable with ur decision. Any ways Robi ….. take good care of yourself and try to play down what some try to escalate.
And to those … the stupid ones who say that u r losing ur identity over what an individual did using his right as a free human being let me tell u one thing. U have lost ur identity long ago … when u gave ur rights to the others and started begging while the brave ones keep on pushing u downwards to hell. Yeah …. its better to die than live hungry for all ur times.
To tell u one fact ….. country begins with individual, then family, then it grows to society and keeps on going like that. What is a country to you if u are not privileged to live like a man ? If that is the case you are just animals like a donkey which does all the chores assigned to it by the owner.
Just get sth to eat first and then … may be you would have the moral value to talk about social and individual rights.
Thank you!

Tturn back to the original intention of your creator, believe in the word of God, Jesus, you and your family will be saved. You’re originally planned to have dominion over everything and be husband of Eve and head of your family; clearly Satan wanted to displace you from your position and take your authority totally and finally take you to hell – dangerous place, this place was originally planned for Satan and its Angeles only, why do you go there willingly?
Yes he is promoting tolerance, human rights and dignity to all. How can Africa expect to be treated as fellow human beings to the rest of the World if this is how they treat their own. You either support Human Rights or you don’t – and gay rights are human rights. That is international law.
Shame on you ur not ethiopian
Mr “Ethiopian” Gay, please come back safe home and you will get another expensive price for your sickness.
Honour and respect to da guyZ!
Mr Gay, you did very shame, you dont have religion. You will not return in Ethiopia forever. This not civilization, it is not bring Africa out of dark. If we need to bring Africa out of dark, we must come together to fight poverty, but not like Robel did.

Gay IS African: “The Africaness of homosexuality is an increasingly engaged in and consistently controversial topic. While it is continually claimed that homosexuality is un-African, studies by historians and anthropologists have found same-sex relationships to have been in existence in pre-colonial Africa. What has also become apparent in research is that the social meaning of same-sex relationships has changed since the 1800s, with the onset of colonialism transforming it along rigid Western ideas of sexuality and gender, and formulating the idea of same-sex relationships as foreign to Africa.
In pre-colonial African societies same-sex relationships were often constituted through informal rites of passage. Roscoe and Murrays Boy Wives and Female Husbands reports that the Yan Daudu societies of the Hausa described such relations in terms connoting frivolity and irresponsibility, such as wasa (to play), thus allowing same-sex relations to be ignored or surrounded with a sense of invisibility..”
(2) The importance placed upon procreation denied same-sex relations the degree of social significance to threaten hetrosexuality. The Yan Daudu saw their same-sex relations as compatible with procreative roles, with men often marrying women and having children while maintaining their playfulness with other men. They saw the importance of reproduction, forbidding same-sex relations to overrule communitarian obligations and inheriting no social meaning. Nonetheless same-sex relations were present. Similarly, in Lesotho, relationships between married mpho women were often not hidden by their husbands. They saw these relations as un-sexual, conceiving them as differently constructed and thus not threatening, but rather compatible with heterosexuality.
What has become evident is that heterosexual compositions remained intact within same-sex relationships. The Nigerian anthropologist Ifi Amadiumes study of Nigerian Igbo society shows how the fluidity of gender construction meant that females could become female husbands as long as they had acquired the same amount of status and wealth as a male. Abiding by fulfilling the gender norms associated with being male, same-sex relationships resembled the composition of both the male and female gender norms of a heterosexual relationship. This in turn would have led to the inability for same-sex relationships to adhere a secular identity and therefore a social meaning even though they were extant.
(3) Furthermore, spiritual leaders in Zimbabwe believed sexuality to be related to spiritual powers and possession. Men involved within same-sex relationships were left alone, as they could return as an ngozi, an avenging spirit, which could cause greater havoc to the communitys procreation. In many cases in Zimbabwean traditional healers regarded same-sex relationships as respectable if caused by certain types of spirit possession, rather than the offence and usurpation of natural order they are deemed to be today.

Robel Gizaw Hailu are you serious ? you gays what a hell human right you are talking about !! i don’t blame those of you who are supporting him because you are not Ethiopian,you didn’t grow up in this God fear ppl culture, even if our country is poor and weak ,we Ethiopian are not slave ,our land and mind have never been slaved in history and reality .Robel are you out of your mind ?is this what you pay for our country ? pls take a deep breath and think over it again,i swear if i were you i would kill my self,believe me for no more reason it is not too late to regret and walk away from this nasty and life long shameful sin. you are not only representing yourself ,you are representing our country that is why we are all here …………..
U r Retarded…you have more reading to do…
sure i have to read more thank you but can you recommend me the book you read ….i was wondering one single book if you recommended me that talk about your naturally retarded personality.
Think of yourself waking up one morning and find out your son or your daughter or for that matter someone very close to you is gay. Will you do the barbarian, retarded, and not well thought actions you said you will do? I don’t think so. Wake up and rise above to win your poor and sickening mental thought process. Nobody has the right to take anybodies born Rights. If you don’t know the meaning of the word “Right”__-which most Ethiopians don’t__’. please read. If you have extra time and money to spend, please help your starving neighbor. You can never change a gay to a straight but you can definitely change the life of the the poor who has nothing to eat and has no shelter. I am a proud Gay and every negative thing you say makes me feel that I am ten steps ahead of you in mental development.
My fried do you really know what you are talking about ? do you really know what mental development and human right from gay perspective ? do you think that it is a matter of knowledge or lack of reading that we couldn’t compromised the gay right ……how dare you are !!!!! yes we don’t deny that we are poor but we are growing and we don’t have starvation, our problem is politics but let me tell you something, for sure you are from one of African country who had been under colonization, you lost your identity ,even if your country is free from colonization your mind is still under slavery.Moreover pls don’t rush in to deductive generalization about Ethiopian because from your point of view i can assuredly say you have no idea about Ethiopian culture ,religion and social because what you are saying is what they told you nothing else.
Will you kill your own son or daughter? Then you don’t belong to the human race.
Ethiopia is a backwards country. It is infested with corruption and extreme poverty. These Ethiopians who are blurting out their Hatred on this page are swarming into FREE South Africa to steal our jobs and promote their Intolerance. We WILL NOT tolerate the backwardness from any African country in South Africa and especially Ethiopia. Ethiopia has been cursed for decades because it denies its citizens the most basic of human rights. Wake up Africa!!! This is 2012 and you are living in the dark ages. Let my people be FREE! I call on all African Gays to stand firm and be counted! You are Human and No one has the right to take your rights away. Be Proud. Be Strong. Let us bring Africa into the modern world. There is another Famine coming to Ethiopia because they will not give Ethiopians Freedom to live their lives they feel fit. Freedom to all Gays in Africa.
It is you who is backward who dont know the function of your body. let me tell you dude Your ass is for toilet not for sex.
And your mouth is for the garbage heap ! Parasite
@ The truth…..It’s fact that Ethiopia is a poor country.This doesn’t mean that we allow this animalism to dwell in our country our country is holy in this regard .You can exercise ur colonisers culture..let alone Ethiopia I still doubt wherther this s
lets condemn Robel who is destabilizing the face of the holy country ethiopia. i think he is an animal.
lets kill Robel gizaw hailu just now. seitan ….
wuy wuy yihen lij anatun yemilew yitifa yasazinal!! ende gesho mekeretatef neber!!!Animal!!!u are not from Holy land!!!!Psalm 68:31
I dont blame him, He is just “PSYCHO”. It is not surprising to find one PSYCHO from 80 million population. Ethiopia is rich in faith and culture, dont count poverty in terms of dollar and euro only. Robel will soon be psychotic.

All below rantings is proof of how uncivilised and barbarian you are. Please one day – join us in the 21st century. Whenever you ready …
what?uncivilised? u animal,son of slave .. u used to worship white people and take everything they do as a blessed ,let me tell u.u better repent for what u r doing,what amazed me very much is most of our African brothers and Sisters don’t have athing of their own it’s really is acurse…..don’t worry as for the Idiot Ethiopian we will handle it in our own way!!
Question for gay people !!!!how can you make a man pregenant ,don’t you think if every one turns to be a gay life will end .you always talk about your right pls know first what is right or wrong
Homosexuality bringing an end to humanity is an insanely stupid logic. No one is trying to convert heterosexual people into homosexual orientation therefore it will remain impossible for the human race to die out. And yes, while the heterosexual majority laud their brand of selfish hate filled laws against a vast minority we WILL continie to fight for our rights!
Embodiment of true Ethiopian bravery, unlike most of you idiotic, ignorant haters.
1)First and foremostREAD YOUR OWN HISTORY- before going on about how its so special and no 1 from Africa.
The Agaw tribe (ancestors of Amhara and Tigre) which most of you are probably from Did have Legitimate Same sex Marriages from as early as the 17th century. FACT!!!!
Gay men existed in Ethiopia as long anywhere else.
2)Most of you leave these horrendous comments from the safety and comfort of western nations where you run like coward hyenas when Derg persecuted you for your beliefs. Yet for the hypocrite imbeciles you all are you call for an innocent fellow Ethiopian to be mistreated
3)All of you seem to agree Ethiopian culture is so so special.well while doing so, you might as well acknowledge this special culture was founded up on Extreme Mysogynyamong other disgracefull back ward as shite Traits!
Dont be idiots, be true to your self. Dont take what who ever told you to be wholly sacred and faultless. Use your brains,reason and decide for your selves.
You dont like his sexualityAsk your selves 1 question
Did you ever wake up one day to be straight/Did you ever choose what sex you are attracted to??????????????
No human being on earth chose their sexuality, gay or straight.

Let he without sin cast the first stone.
nited Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has urged African leaders to respect gay rights.
Discrimination based on sexual orientation had been ignored or even sanctioned by many states for too long, Mr Ban told an African Union summit.
Homosexuality is illegal in many African countries – a situation which has drawn increasing criticism from activists and the West.
Mr Ban also said the Arab Spring proved leaders “must listen to their people”.
The two-day summit, in the AU’s new building in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, is set to elect a new AU Commission chair.

Ban Ki Moon in Addis Abeba: “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a promise to all people in all places at all times.
Let me mention one form of discrimination that has been ignored or even sanctioned by many States for far too long ? discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
This has prompted some governments to treat people as second-class citizens, or even criminals.
Confronting this discrimination is a challenge. But we must live up to the ideals of the Universal Declaration.”
do you want the universal declaration of human rights to guard a person who committed a rape on a 3 years old child? you gays are doing the same thing. you are infecting youngsters and tied them with this sinful habit. you deliberately target the young ones. it is just like the case of the raper above. as he has no right to get protection from the UDHR, you gays have no right to get the same protection. i have an advice for you, PLEASE, MAKE THIS UNNATURAL SEXUAL ORIENTATION BURIED IN YOUR DAMNED FLESH.
Gosh you don’t sound what is know as human at all – but then again I’m sure there are millions roaming this continent just like you – parasites

It’s a well known fact that seriously anti-gay men are using insults to hide their own deep homosexual desires or feminine habits. They are so disgusted when they see this desire in themselves that they need to project that rage outwards onto gay people. It is you who are sick. And after you kill all the gays and enforce all the death penalty laws you want… you will still be sick inside ….and unable to sleep, or forget about that male friend you still desire from high school. The gay people you condemn will rest in peace. You will forever be filled with hate. Self-hate.
Message to every Ethiopain who says homosexuality is a Western import: “will you also please do us a favour and refrain using your computers, internet, tinned food, televisions. Don’t get into that small blue meter cabs driving along the roads of Addis. Don’t enter the tiled shopping malls, especially not the shops that are in February decorated in red hearts, with valentine messages – more red decoratiosn I never saw before going to Addis Abbaba in my life. Do not eat in any restaurants with western menus. Sit there, chewing your chat and just keep all aspects of your life out of the Western world.
Shut up , you are animal and you don’t know which one right or wrong
For visited Ethiopia before first know who innovated computers and other staff it is not only westerns. Pls pls get educated before you give such kind of comment
To “Answer” – I do not think I got my point accross the way it was intended. It was not meant to be a priviledged/ westernised oblivious answer – instead, my point tried to show that if people want to dispell one part of westernisation, they should also be willing to give the comforts of the western world up – if they want to claim tradition and ‘homosexuality is western import’ type of ranting.
Furthermore – not to go on too much about it, but as much as preserving of food is ages old: the concept of canned food was invented by the French, cans it self by British, TV’s by Americans cars by Germans etc the examples I used was actually from the west.

It only one animals people need money that why he clam he is Ethiopian but he not an Ethiopian . All most all Ethiopian reject of fight animalism (white people ) disease from my country Ethiopian , According to the 2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project, 97% of Ethiopian residents said that homosexuality should be rejected by society, which was the second-highest percentage rejecting homosexuality among the 44 countries surveyed, exceeded only by Mali at 98%, if u came in Addiss ababa , you are gonn died passionly, I will organized nation wide protest in addis , passed dead penalty for those animals !!!!
do not curse our mother land mama Ethiopia!!
Let My Lord God free u from the evil spirit!!
In Jesus name!!!
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
(Matthew 5.3-12 ESV)
gays have every right except the right to spread their shamefull and sinfull habit. we all pray for them to be free from it. but they have to admit this thing must be buried with their flesh. they have no right to convince others about homosexuality. i don’t want them to be excuted or imprisoned. b/s it’s their right to do so. but they have no right to guide our children to this umhuman experience. if you want your human rights to be guaranteed, try to be a human being, humans have to think!!! gayism has nothing to do with westernization, my dear ethiopian friends. but it has a lot to do with devil spirit. george washington and many founding fathers of USA designed the constitution based on the holy bible, but their preceeditors diverted the way it works. this asian animal tried to explan it in the AU summit in addis. LET US ALL PRAY TO GOD TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN FROM THIS DEVIL SPIRIT.
what!!!!! u get your self fucked by another man. My God, tell me Roble are you playing a role of a man or woman????? i cant believe you bend like a women to get******think of it you moron Sodom. A person like you disgrace this humanity with your shameful deeds.
Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brothers eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brothers eye
(Matthew 7.1-5 ESV)
God has punished sodom and gomorah for the sins they did. homosexuality was the major one. a real christian, do you want them to bring the same thing on us? do you want to cover their sins with words from bible which has nothing to do with it? be a real christian and tell them their sexual orientation has regarded as “shameful” in the holy bible, and pray for them. homosexuality has no religious or legal basis, weather it is UDHR or other. it is just a result of uncontrolled persuit for sexual desire. this kind of desire always lead us to unethical and unnatural sexual orientations with opposite or similar sexes. making unnatural (oral or anal, you mention them) sexual inercourse, waching pornographic movies or thinking about them is also uncontrolled desires which highly leads to seeking a higher level of satisfaction with the same sex. YES, WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN FROM THIS THINGS.
robel, i know very much. we went to the same school. Now, am totally disgusted when i % think of i sat next to u while in my college studies. Okay, be what ever you want to be, but pls do NOT mention u r representing Ethiopia in your evil doings. dont curse Ethiopia and all your brothers and sister Ethiopians. As I said earlier, you have the right to follow your own heart, but to represent Ethiopia on evils work, which 97% of the population snub homosexual, just don’t make any sense.
oh typo: i know u from high school till we graduated from university. poor robel. u were nothing but Rubbish and dirt minded.
As i am Muslim i will just mention the verdict of Islam. Islam is against home sexuality. Allah sent prophets to their peoples to warn them against Worshiping other than Allah and some other message. prophet Lut was sent to peoples engaged on Homosexuality, he told them it is against the commandment of Allah but they refused then finally Allah punish them with great torment. Ethiopia is a religious country, how on earth that an evil named Robel Gizaw tried to represent Ethiopia???? in Islam devil is of two types human devil and jinn devil. Homosexuality is the work of a devil and evil peoples. let alone home sexuality, sex before marriage itself is evil. why then Robel Gizaw and his evil friends are trying to corrupt Ethiopia? but all this works for those who believe in the one lord, worthy of Worship. but for those who worship devil and evil, the devil beautify it for them, but they will be the losers finally.
All the Devil and Evil that resides in Ethiopia, why do not you come openly and you will see the reaction of Ethiopians, be it Muslims or Christians. if you really believe in what you do go out to the streets and the religious Ethiopian citizen will do it’s proper reaction from Quran and Bible. we saw one program in Ethiopian Television, it was about raped young boys. if it is not a devil thing you brought to This peaceful country, then why do you have to rape kids? the raped boys were having a difficulty of sitting. if you are truly hero men please go out on the road of Ethiopia, we will show you what we have prepared and Allah will help us destroying every piece of you. we Ethiopians are better in poverty without HomeSexuality, we do not need your help anymore… inshallah Ethiopia will succeed in winning poverty and destroying this Homos.
Who is allah ?
Ethiopia should also follow the likes of Sudan and other countries to kill this evils. the Father of Marvingie killed his son the singer marvingie. this is the only way to protect the society from such evil acts. May Allah protect Ethiopia.
I sincerely call for all human being to fight against this wickedness & immorality.
Well that would exclude you then !
I am gay and Ethiopian…… a real Ethiopian, who is serving his country not less than anybody in the country if not more than every citizen. Being gay is not something I chose, it is my nature….. I just can’t change it. I tried to read most of the comments here…………. and death???? why????????/ can anybody answer me why I deserve death? why something I do in my bed is the country’s business….. why it bothers you so much. I am your brother, uncle, best friend, even your father……..
Well said.
