Madieye Diallo's body had only been in the ground for a few hours when the mob descended on the weedy cemetery with shovels. They yanked out the corpse, spit on its torso, dragged it away and dumped it in front of the home of his elderly parents.
Even in death, African gays are stilll abused - Africa - msnbc.com

Left unchecked, this is what homophobia can lead to. [MOD CUT]

I think that if the gay-haters you're referring to that post on here were born and raised in Africa, then yes. There are ignorant people here and ignorant people in Africa. Every culture has its idiots. Luckily things are different here.

That's what the gays and Jews in Germany said before Hitler came to power.

Yes, things are different here, but we must always be vigilant in standing up and speaking out against bigotry. Public opinion can turn on a dime, and hatred only breeds more hatred. Don't ever believe that it can't happen here.

These actions are just plain and uttterly sick, and i don't care what Country they commit these barbarian acts, this is disgusting behavior. People need to get a life and stop obsessing over why someone is Gay, get a life. Things are different here, but even on this forum, you have many who are constantly bringing up rude posts on how to change a Gay. Or were they born Gay, or whatever nonsense, it is what it is, just let it be.

From the Declaration Of Independence: "All men are created equal". What - except gays?

DISGUSTING. SHAME on you. I know there are many people who disagree with being gay but would NEVER EVER do this to someone! And imagine his elderly parents?

HOW CAN ANYONE DO THIS?!

We are better off without people you in our nation. Go back to Africa or whatever backwards pathetic culture you come from.

How hypocritical that you would tell someone to leave the country, for saying gays can leave the country. And it seems you have a habbit of doing so..

I do wonder how they would know if the dead man was spit on.. By time they'd spit on them, and then drag the body back to the parents home, I'm sure the spit would have evaporated.. Did they do a DNA test to determine if it was spit or water, or is this just hyperbold added for the sake of exciting the readers..
