Burundi’s President Evariste Ndayishimiye launched a virulent anti-gay tirade on Friday, saying same-sex couples should be publicly stoned.
He also lashed out at Western countries that press other nations to allow gay rights or risk losing aid.
Homosexuality in Burundi, a conservative Christian country in East Africa, has been criminalised since 2009 with prison terms of up to two years for consensual same-sex acts.
Gotta start with something
Just about every hospital near me was started by charitable religious folks. Religion has caused a lot of harm, but also tons of good. Let’s not toss the baby out with the bathwater.
Do you think these extremely profitable hospitals would not exist if not for the benevolence of churches?! Lol 🤣
The church branding is just branding. There has never, ever been benevolence involved in corporate healthcare. Never.
It’s so insane to me how quickly Lemmy almost as a whole has been ideologically subverted, they can not even see wool as it is being pulled over their eyes.
I am a nonbeliever, but I am a truthseeker. The majority of an entire world’s generation has already been subverted in one area or another, due to global media. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok or YouTube, Douyin or Telegram; an entire generation has grown up ingesting content specifically engineered to target them and program them to think a certain way.
I suppose it’s not much different than traditional television and radio media from the 1920s onward, and paper before that.
The tides are just turning so. much. faster.
May those with the best tooling and best protected undersea cables win.
