Trial by (gay) stereotype

[Janus]

I.o.w. prejudice. In the case of 2 Cameroonian men. They 'looked like' gay men, they 'acted like' gay men, so they were put in jail – for a year! "Awaiting their trial" – on charges of being gay.
Of course they probably were, but that's not the point. The point is they were incarcerated for a year on charges without legal evidence! I.e. trumped up charges!

Malevolent prejudice is still rife in central Africa too. And justice virtually impossible to come by.

It's their cultures, thus their right.

Morality is subject to cultures.

Better watch it if you go on a safari to the lowland gorillas.

Oh, BTW and FYI: those 500 pound gorilla silverbacks have 3 inch penises. Now, whales OTOH...

Their morality is not the subject. Their corrupt 'justice' is.

which stems for their morality.

if they choose to imprison gays without due process, it's their own right/prerogative.

By that logic, it was ok for the Nazi's to do what they did. What an id-ee-o-toe.

Nami, how did you come to enjoy people disagreeing with you so much? This is not a put down, I am actually interested what makes you enjoy this. It seems counter productive...yet you thrive on it.

Probably just a phase, Dom. We all go through it. Some get through it faster than others, though.

Yeah, but some of the statements are pretty extreme, s/he is really trying hard to get people to dislike her.
