Zambia’s anti-gay president wants US ambassador to leave the country after defending two men jailed for loving each other
The president of Zambia is calling on the US ambassador to resign and leave the country for defending a gay couple who were sentenced to 15 years in jail for having a consensual relationship.
Ambassador Daniel Foote said he was “personally horrified” by the harsh sentence passed down on the two gay men, Japhet Chataba and Steven Samba, for a relationship “which hurt absolutely no one”.
He also accused the authorities of having double standards when it comes to pursuing other crimes, noting: “Government officials can steal millions of public dollars without prosecution.”
From time to time my low intellect friends on here accuse me of being "Anti American". I would like to take this opportunity to salute a great American who is willing to stand up for the Liberal US values that we have all come to respect.
I hope that Mr Chataba and Mr Samba can get some justice from the backward colonial era laws that oppress Zambia.
Take a bow, Ambassador Foote. I hope that President Trump gives you his full support.
