Moral clash between US and Africa
By Julio
Severo
Laying bare a strong
moral clash, President Barack Obama on Thursday (June 27) urged African leaders
to extend special rights to gays and lesbians but was bluntly rebuked by
Senegal’s president, who said his country “still isn’t ready’ to decriminalize
homosexuality, according to a AP report.
Obama opened his
weeklong trip to Africa one day after the U.S.
Supreme Court struck down the defense of traditional marriage in the US federal
law to grant special rights for gay couples. In his first in-person
comments on the ruling, Obama said the court’s decision marked a “proud day for
America.” He pressed for similar homosexual acceptance in Africa, wading into a
sensitive area in a region marked by stark moral contrasts with the US. Dozens
of African countries outlaw homosexuality, with their past experience of
widespread boy abuses by homosexuals.

He urged Sall to
have similar legal changes in Senegal, putting the defense of traditional
marriage below the gay agenda.
However, Sall gave
no ground. Senegal, he said, is “still not ready to decriminalize homosexuality.”
Will it be ready someday?
It will depend
on the “persuasion” powers by the US government. “Cultural imperialism,” an
excellent video produced by Family Watch International (http://youtu.be/HbjAFUGQ3Xg), shows how
UN and US use pressure and blackmail to force developing nations to embrace
immoral agendas.
By the US measure,
will not African nations be labeled democratic until their adherence of immoral agendas, especially the homosexual agenda? Reportedly,
38 African countries criminalize homosexuality. This, in Obama’s view, is
undemocratic.
Democratic is
what the US government does: indoctrinate its school children into homosexual
perversions and criminalize criticism of wicked homosexual acts plainly
condemned by the same Bible that was instrumental in the lives of the Founding
Fathers.
Curiously,
current America is a vast moral contrast not only with African nations, but
also with the America envisioned and created by her Christian Founders.
Essentially, the
Bible and Christian values have been criminalized in America, which abandoned
their Bible-based Republic to embrace and impose a homosexual advocacy democracy.
I hope Africa may
be able to resist such “democracy.”
