“What’s up? He was really digging me, then I got dumped just like that! I mean, I have needs, I’m gay, I’m not DEAD!” ---

But if they’d found the dead cat in their dog’s mouth and tried to clean up the cat to avoid getting blamed, and found out only later that the cat was already dead and the dog hadn’t killed it but only dug it up… that would be funny. ---

Of course we don’t like it, but honestly digging up gay men’s dead bodies is so far down my list of priorities that I can’t really get up a proper fervor. I would get angry much more about everything else that happens in Africa. ---

I’d like to go on record as opposing the digging up and desecrating of gay men’s corpses. I know I’ll take a lot of heat for it, but sometimes you have to take a stand. ---

> [@Anne\_Neville](#): > > Is this really all that different from what Fred Phelps _et al_ do in the US when they picket soldiers’ funerals? Well, no gay people are actually _afraid_ of the Phelps clan. Not to mention that they’re obviously, like, four people. ---

If you read the article rather than just the headline, you’ll see it’s about quite a lot more than running around with “God hates fags” signs. For heaven’s sake. The president of Gambia declared any gay refugees from Senegal who entered his country must leave or face decapitation. Nope, not the same as Phelps, unless of course we elect him president. ---

Yeah, you’re right… outrage level rising… …oops, sorry, that was just a burp. ---

How about that line about the “corrective” raping of lesbians. Unfortunately, this article doesn’t even scratch the surface of all of the different fucked up shit happening across that whole continent. (I am sure there are safe locations and decent people, but the only ones that make the news are anything but.) My SIL is going to Uganda to build a primary school. I worry a bit about the violence over there. ---

That’s pretty much the same anywhere. “Charity builds orphanage” doesn’t sell papers. ---

Well, what do you expect? You can’t break up with a dead guy by e-mail or text. ---

> [@levdrakon](#): > > If you read the article rather than just the headline, you’ll see it’s about quite a lot more than running around with “God hates fags” signs. Yeah. People are digging up the bodies of people they merely suspect of having been gay. Not that it’s any less wrong to dig up the bodies of people who admiited to be gay, mind you. > [@](#): > > Nope, not the same as Phelps, unless of course we elect him president. When I read [If This Goes On–](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_This_Goes_On), I really thought it was fiction. Now, I’m not so sure. Phelps is just how I imagined Nehemiah Scudder to be. ---

> [@](#): > > 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. Oh, so the problem is basicly fundyism and not a particlar flavor of religion? That’s exactly what I thought. I wonder if you’d find this homophobia in countries that strongly follow traditional African religions. I’m sorry but some people’s interepretation of what Mohammand or what Jesus said is so fucked up. Why the hell do people feel the need to willfully and knowingly harm others? ---

Other unpleasant practices like female circumcision (or genital mutilation, depending on how you want to look at it) are endemic to Islamic-, Christian- and African traditional religion-dominated regions of Africa.
