GAY RIGHTS--TO BE A CONDITIONALITY FOR AID

Personally, I believe most of homo in Africa are forced into it after being raped by their school mates, inmates, close relatives etc. Many gays in Tanzania confess finding themself in that situation after being raped, and they normally advise parents to take care of their sons before they end up facing the same fate. On the contrary, in Western countries, it seems people enter into homo relations willingly. This is what Mr. Cameroon need to know before he go on tarnishing his image by advocating issues that are considere shameful in Africa. Basing on this reality, what is needed in Africa is extra efforts to end all forms of homo relations because they are associated with human right abuse and not promoting them as Mr. Camerron wants.

David Cameron Threatens To Cut U.K. Aid Over Gay Rights
Britain has threatened countries that ban homosexuality with losing aid payments unless they reform, David Cameron has said. The prime minister said he had raised the issue with leaders of some of the states involved when he attended the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Australia.

Britain was "putting the pressure on", he said. But it was not a problem that would be solved by the time Commonwealth leaders are next due to meet, in Sri Lanka in 2013.


Ending bans on homosexuality was one of the recommendations of a highly critical internal report on the future relevance of the Commonwealth, written by experts from across the member nations.


"We are not just talking about it. We are also saying that British aid should have more strings attached," Cameron said on BBC1's Andrew Marr Show in an interview recorded at the summit in Perth.
