Zambia to U.S.: We’re anti-gay, so spare us your pro-gay ambassador
The president of Zambia wants the U.S. to recall its Zambian ambassador because he supports the human rights of homosexuals.
Japhet Chataba and Steven Samba were arrested in 2017 when staff at a lodge in Kapiri Mposi called police after spotting the couple making love in their private room. Last year they were convicted of “having sex against the order of nature.” Last month they were sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Foote said Zambian officials should act like leaders of the Christian nation they claim to represent instead of imprisoning LGBT people and encouraging un-Christian slurs against gay Zambian citizens.
Lungu said Sunday at a United Church of Zambia service that he does not want people who support “unchristian values such as homosexuality” in the country.
According to the EyeGambia news website, the Zambian government has reportedly asked that Foote leave the country while the government awaits a diplomatic response from the United States.

What stipid backward opinion of that Zambian President!
When a person supports equal rights for all it does not mean that the person is homosexual!
That Zambian bigot (aka President) should first get som education, before opening his mouth! He should get out of his Presidential palace, move to the military barracks and watch all those soldiers doing what he claims to be wrong….. day in day out, night in and night out!
An angry person!
