You haven't experienced the pressure to conform until you've lived in Utah. Not fun.

JURIST - Paper Chase: Zimbabwe leaders deny new constitution permits homosexual acts

Wow that is pretty scary, to think a government is going in the total opposite direction of human rights and decency. It really makes one appreciate living in the US even with Obama.

Seriously though this is really sad.

If homosexuality is a learned behavior (as opposed to an instinctive one), then can it be unlearned? Is forced heterosexual sex a good method for correcting this aberrant behavior?

And rape is NORMAL behavior???? To even suggest this is neanderthal.

What is and what should be are two very different things. There is one primate that does not engage in Rape or murder. All else goes with one exception...

the sad thing about this and other things like this, is that this will never end....We will always have rapists and murderers until the end of time. Man is what he is, and always will be. Can some people change, yes they can, but we as a species will never be able change our human nature as a whole. We will always envy, always lie, always steal, etc. That has been this way since the beginning of time. I feel for the people involved in this tragedy, but again man is man, and doing what he thinks is right and just--no matter how disgusting it may be to some......

Gay men were forced into heterosexual acts and lesbian women were raped, sometimes by male relatives, to teach them to change their ways, said Amanda Porter, political officer at the U.S. Embassy in Harare and compiler of the report.

"Some families reportedly subjected men and women to corrective rape and forced marriages to encourage heterosexual conduct," she said Tuesday."

Nothing would make me want men more, then to be raped by them.

How do you force a gay man into sex with a woman? If "pee wee" don't want to play - he won't.
