Zimbabwe Punishes Handholding

zimbabwe-flag.gif

It might be time for you and your married-in-Canada partner to reconsider that romantic Zimbabwe honeymoon you've been planning. Zimbabwe's Parliament this week passed a "sexual deviancy" law that forbids same-sex kissing, hugging, or handholding. We don't know if the new law applies to fathers and sons as well.

The law of course is only the latest in Zimbabwean Prime Minister Robert Mugabe's series of assaults on gay people. At 82, we wonder how someone so full of hate can even keep on kicking, but Mugabe keeps churning out more venom than men half his age.
