A member of the Zimbabwe Parliament yesterday called for gay people and their allies to be forcibly evicted from their homes and banished from their communities. Local Government Minister Ignatius Chombo has urged traditional chiefs to banish "people who support homosexuality" from their communities and take away their land.

Each state has the right to select three representatives to the Republican National Committee (Yes, the one that condemned and exposed Agenda 21!) and one must be a male and one must be female.  The female one is the National Committeewoman.  (I think the party chair also sits on the RNC.) I am pleased to announce that our very one Donna Holt (the one who fought Agenda 21, Sandy?  Yes that one!) is running for National Committeewoman.  We need to try our very best to be at the state convention (if an elected delegate of course) to vote Donna … Read the restSimilar News >>
