Robert Mugabe At UN Says: We Are Not Gays by akeemalade22(m): 9:01pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
The Zimbabwean president made the comments during his speech and has previously described homosexuals as worse than "pigs, goats and birds" The 91-year-old used his speech to criticise the UN for its "archaic" organisation which, he argued, excluded the poorest countries. He criticised EU sanctions against his country, and voiced his anger at the Security Council's failure to represent developing nations. But it was during a section in which he criticised the UN for trying to impose human rights rules on countries that he made the off-the-cuff comments. "We reject the politicisation of this important issue and the application of double standards to victimise those who think and act independently of the self-anointed prefects of our time," he said. "We equally reject attempts to prescribe 'new rights' which are contrary to our values, norms, traditions and beliefs." He then blurted out: "We are not gays!"
