The Governor of Dar es Salaam, the capitol city of Tanzania, Paul Makonda, has promised to start rounding up members of the LGBTQ community as early as next week.


Homosexual acts are illegal in Tanzania, where anti-gay rhetoric has been on the rise since President John Magufuli won an election marked with allegations of fraud. Now, that rhetoric is being put to action as Makonda tells the AP:

"Give me their names. My ad hoc team will begin to get their hands on them next Monday. I have information about the presence of many homosexuals in our province. These homosexuals boast on social networks."

There are 33 African countries that have laws on the books banning gay sex. When asked if he was worried about backlash from Western countries, Makonda said:

"[I] prefer to anger those countries than to anger God."

One country that Makonda doesn't seem to have to worry about in the United States of America. Donald Trump announced earlier in the year that his administration would do nothing to encourage other countries to abolish their anti-gay laws.

Mick Mulvaney, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, admonished the Obama administration for telling countries discriminating against the LGBTQ community they would not receive funding from America. Instead in a shocking twist of logic, Mulvaney paints Christians as the victims.

"It was stunning to me that my government under the previous administration would go to folks in sub-Saharan Africa and say, 'We know that you have a law against abortion, but if you enforce that law, you're not going to get any of our money.'

We know you have a law against gay marriage, but if you enforce that law, we're not going to give you any money.
That is a different type of religious persecution that I never expected to see. I never expected to see that as an American Christian, that we would be doing that to other folks."

In other words, Mulvaney thinks it is perfectly okay for a country like Tanzania to arrest gays and lesbian, and to refuse HIV and AIDS treatment to the LGBTQ community but if the United States steps in to say they will not support a government that commits these atrocities that means American Christians are being persecuted.

We encourage you to reach out to Mulvaney and let him know how you feel about this.

It is time to push all world leaders to take action.











The LGBTQ community does not have borders.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
