Sierra Leone Says No To Gayism

Sierra Leone has joined the list of African nations denouncing Britain's threat to withhold financial aid over LGBT rights abuses.

Deputy Information Minister, Sheka Tarawallie told reporters that "it is not possible that we will legalise same sex marriages as they run counter to our culture". The President of the 500 000-strong Methodist Church in Sierra Leone, Bishop Arnold Temple echoed the information minister's objections to Cameron's warning. "The church in Sierra Leone will do everything possible to protect democracy but our values will not accept the call from British Prime Minister, Mr Cameron for countries in the Commonwealth like Sierra Leone to accept the practice of lesbianism and gayism," the bishop said.

Other African countries with similar positions include Kenya, Malawi, Ghana, and Uganda. Britain's government has not yet responded to their reactions.
