A day after the Supreme Court granted victories to same-sex couples in the U.S., President Obama’s visit to Africa got off to a rough start when his call for tolerance of gays on the continent was rebuffed publicly by the president of Senegal, where homosexuality is a crime.

“People should be treated equally,” Mr. Obama said Thursday at a press conference in Dakar, Senegal, on the first full day of his three-nation tour of the continent.

He said that although Africans have a variety of religions and customs and “we have to respect the diversity of views” of people who personally oppose gay rights, the laws of African nations must grant all people equal protection, regardless of sexual orientation.

He's basically telling them to spread AIDS faster in Africa.

He's basically telling them to spread AIDS faster in Africa.

That is why being gay is illegal in so many African countries. The queers/bis spread AIDS to anyone and everyone.

He should visit Iran and try the speech out on them.  I'm sure it was just a local glitch.
