The ardent homophobic president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, in response to the US decision to legalize same-sex marriages, made an offer of hands and heart to Barack Obama himself.
Barack Obama became not only the first African American president of the USA, he also became the first who decided to legalize same-sex marriage. Well, being the first one means being the first in everything. The other day, Obama offered his hand and heart. And this was done by the 91-year-old President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe. This is how the leader of the South African state reacted to the epoch-making decision of the American president.
Mugabe criticized the "anti-Christian" decision of the American president, which encourages sodomy. However, wanting to support a dubious idea, from his point of view, he is ready to marry Barack Obama himself and even will do it, having traditionally bowed one knee.
"I just made a decision: if Obama approves of same-sex marriages, protects homosexuals and is attractive enough, I should, if necessary, go to Washington, kneel down and ask for his hand"
To sarcasm Mugabe was not taken for a joke, the Nhe Zimbabwe Daily decided to comment on his proposal. It turns out that according to the South African president, Barack Obama himself is gay, since he decided to allow people with non-traditional sexual orientation to officially register the relationship. Thus Mugabe wanted to draw the world's attention to the absurdity of the idea of same-sex marriages.
The long-standing conflict between Mugabe and Obama
As a homophobe, Mugabe has long reacted strongly to any decisions loyal to the gay community. Two years ago, he accused the US president of pressure in Zimbabwe, who categorically refused to support the gay movement in any way. The leader of the country said that for the continuation of the family and the demographic development of the country, it does not need gays and lesbians, but ordinary men and women.
"This American president, Obama, whose father was an African, says he will not support us if we do not support homosexuals. We ask him: did homosexuals give birth to you? We need to continue our family, and for this we need men and women, not representatives of sex minorities "
Mugabe's homophobic policy is not liked by anyone in his own country. So, in 2010 he incurred the wrath of his own gay citizens, when he not only refused to introduce a provision in the Constitution on the resolution of gay marriage, but also stated that gays are "worse than dogs and pigs".
