Gambians should watch out that their leader is out of step with the rest of the world in his condemnation of gays. He stands in the way of progress for the country as others might see Gambia as ignorant as he is. The American Psychiatric Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychological Association, and American Psychoanalytic Association confirmed that sexual orientation is natural, biologically induced, morally neutral, immutable, neither contagious nor learned, and has no relation to an individual's ability to form deep and lasting relationships, to parent children, to work, or to contribute to society; and endorsed civil marriage for same sex couples because marriage strengthens the mental and physical health and the longevity of couples, and provides greater legal and financial security for children, parents, and seniors. This is the future and Mr. Jammeh is going to be way left behind.

Go to hell the so-called Dr, what is it you have to tell to Gambian people about their president. Do you think your so-called progress is what dears to civilized nations like ours. what is it you think of America, A COUNTRY THAT BELIEVE IN NOTHING BUT a state that propagate insanity like GAYs and its like. We need not to tell you Islam and all its teaching is against homosexuals a behaviour that completely demonstrate how degraded some nations and societies are. Shut UP!

This is in response to the so-call Dr.Gambia is a muslim nation and most of them value their religion dearly. Homosexuality is one of the un-natural acts that the Quran clearly warned us not to engaged in.Most homosexuals are foreigners who come to the gambia to exploit poor young children by giving them gifts in exchange for sexual favours.I strongly agreed with the president for taking this hardline stand, a stand that will create a better society based on the teaching of the Quran.Gambia maybe poor but we are better off poor than living in a immoral and dirty society committed by very few but growing assholes...

The so-call doctor and his useless citations of mad psychologist should close their mouths. As far as the Gambia is concern,both Christians and Muslims, no gay or whatever they are called would be tolerated here. If development and progress must be accompanied by such vices, then we prefer no to join in such development. According to the association of God fearing academics, sexual orientation is hetrosexual but people can fashion it to defy nature.Humans are at the point of diminishing return where materialism will make them worst than the so call lower animals. May our homeland be saved from such demons and their promonents.

While there are no perfect people on this earth, I congratulate President Jammeh on knowing that, while his country may be hurting in many different ways, allowing free reign to those who break the laws of God and nature will not only hinder further progress, it will begin an undermining that will destroy it. In the comments by OHanlan, he references four American associations. As an American I will not bother to check ~ he is probably right. The homosexual lobby and movement have been tearing apart our country from within for a very long time, and with the active help of said associations. This is not being done because of good ‘science’, for if real science was involved, there would no such endorsements. It took a number of years, but the homosexuals and their hyper-liberal friends finally had enough votes to change what is common sense into their agenda. While I do not personally know President Jammeh or his overall value system, he at least knows one, or both, of two truths: On the spiritual side, God said No. On the secular side, there is a REASON why two members of the same sex cannot have children ~ it is not meant to be, nor will it ever be. I pray that his country will never have to witness what mine does on a daily basis; children are not allowed to pray to their God in school, yet being taught that it’s perfectly normal to mate with one’s own sex. I love my country, I have spent many years serving my country, and I weep for my country. Bravo, Mr. President!

I am not a real supporter of President Jammeh, but I am really in support of his initiative to fight against gays and homosexuals. These type of creatures I would call them are not good in any society and MUST never be entertained in any God fearing society. BRAVO Mr. President you have taken the bull by the horn. By this I mean, you have taken the bold step to kick against what the super powers are legalising. They kick against the use of drugs, but encourage gayism which can lead to AIDS. DOWN WITH GAYISM and BRAVO TO PRESIDENT JAMMEH for fighting the gays and homosexuals who are in the peaceful and loving Gambia to distroy the societal norms and values. KEEP IT UP YAHYA JAMMEH GOD WILL FOREVER PROTECT YOU.

I wonder how many gays will be running for their lives. President Jammeh a desperate man indulging in a divide and rule politics...while he appeases his Iranian masters...desperate....desperate.....Let us campaign for the law to come after you one day.

gambians are ignorant, never-changing, stuck in the past.. Yes it was once said if you don't stand for something you fall for anything. Every one is entitled to their own opinion. But don't think because of a few new landmarks and etc that we are coming up...sure it looks good from the outide but there is no shit being done elsewhere.with all the respect to islam there are only a few of us that actual practice what the quran says, some of us merely pick and choose, live in a world of infidelity and inequality..way to go! the president can go to hell for all i care along with his blind followers
