I disagree with the recent charges against the two Malawian men because of their sexuality.
In Malawi two men were given a 14 year prison sentence for trying to marry each other. The Judge that had charged them claimed that he wished to protect the public from “people like you,” Newser.com states that “The judge gave the maximum sentence possible for unnatural acts and gross indecency.” The two were arrested after holding an engagement ceremony in December. After being charged a crowd awaited them outside of the courtroom where people were shouting, “You got what you deserve!” and “Fourteen years is not enough, they should get 50!” I believe that everyone should be treated fairly and have equal rights no matter what their race, religion or their sexual status is.
