influenced the only good news out of Africa this week. Malawi's President has pardoned the two gay men who were sentenced to 14 years in prison.

This of course was done on "humanitarian grounds," as homosexuality is still
illegal there and in 37 African countries. It's interesting to note that the UN Secretary General was present, and I am sure conveying the message that so many other countries were displeased with the Malawi court decision.

It remains to be seen if they will leave the country and possibly seek political asylum somewhere, they have a good case for such action. In the mean time Malawi will continue to suck up foreign aid while abusing other gay and lesbian people. It seems a hollow victory, except for these two men who will be freed.

"These boys committed a crime against our culture, against our religion, and against our laws," (President)Mutharika said.

Well sir, your culture sucks and is full of ignorance. Your words are proof that religion has no place in government, and your laws were not even written by you, just left over colonial crap. I would vote to stop all foreign aid to such a place.
