Malawi’s first female president Ms. Joyce Banda is standing
up for a minority group in her country.
Ms. Banda has stated that she is willing to do her best to have this
minority group receive the respect they deserve. She is working to repeal the anti-homosexual
laws that they enforce in her country. Malawi.
She cannot fathom the thought of an innocent individual having to face
14 years of jail time Just because these homosexual people are being themselves, sharing their love
with a person of the same sex, however they suffer just because of those actions they take. Ms. Banda
does not see herself having a problem with the government repealing the
law. The real problem she fears is the
citizens of Malawi not accepting the gays in the community and rioting against
them even more because of the law being repeal.

Wow, 14 years if you're caught currently? That's absurd. I can see there being riots if a change is made, but nothing can be accomplished unless this risk is taken. Good for her for trying to bring forward this change.
