This isn’t really a Pit, tbh, but I think it will need to be here for some of the posters on the SDMB to express themselves. [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36376840/ns/world\_news-africa](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36376840/ns/world_news-africa) Just after a gay man is buried, he is dug up and returned to his parents. > [@](#): > > “A man that’s known as being a homosexual can’t be buried in a cemetery. His body needs to be thrown away like trash,” says Sene. “His parents knew that he was gay and they did nothing about it. So when he died we wanted to make sure he was punished.” ---

I would have been amazed if this had happened in the US. Not that there isn’t bigotry galore, but the taboo against digging up corpses does have more points these days than being gay. I wish there were an easy way to address this, but there are other beliefs in Africa that are just as horrific (killing albinos for their “magical” organs, raping virgins to cure AIDS). I don’t even know where to start. ---

Wait a sec…Is the homophobia universal in Africa or is it really heavy in MUSLIM countries? Notice they have a lot of quotes about the Prophet. Yet another reason why Muslim/Taliban style fundyism is fucked up. At least the homophobes in the Bible Belt don’t spew their hatred like this. ---

The southern half of Africa is predominately christian and is extremely homophobic as well. Northern Africa is predominately Muslim. Homophobia does not seem to care about what religion is prevalent. It only requires ignorance to spread. Countries with lower education rates have higher instances of homophobia. Uganda, home of the kill the gays bill, is 84% christian. ---

I’m relieved; I expected this to be about a gay man contacted by a long-lost boyfriend who appeared to want to reconnect, but then stood him up. ---

As idiotic as it is, it’s victimless. > [@boytyperanma](#): > > The southern half of Africa is predominately christian and is extremely homophobic as well. Northern Africa is predominately Muslim. Homophobia does not seem to care about what religion is prevalent. It only requires ignorance to spread. Word on this. Remember a couple of years ago when Jews, Muslims and Christians all united in in opposing a gay pride march in Jerusalem? The one thing fundies can agree on is that they all hate fags. ---

The mods can probably move this to MPSIS, since there is no outrage on the thread. Which is kinda unexpected. ---
