“Were You Born Out Of Homosexuality?” – Mugabe Asks Obama


President Mugabe has taken a swipe at United States President Barack Obama for trying to “arm twist” African countries into submission by reportedly tying aid to African countries to the decriminalisation of homosexuality. Mugabe criticised US president Barack Obama’s conditional aid and said western countries have targeted him for his stance on homosexuality. Addressing thousands of party supporters at a campaign rally in Mutare, President Mugabe reminded Obama that he was not born of out of homosexuality. “Then we have this American president, Obama, born of an African father, who is saying we will not give you aid if you don’t embrace homosexuality,” President Mugabe said. “We ask, was he born out of homosexuality? We need continuity in our race, and that comes from the woman, and no to homosexuality.” President Mugabe, however is been criticized too for pointing a finger at others when prominent officials in his party, Zanu Pf are allegedly gay.
