Ah, it's back again, isn't it?
This has been a bizarre little case that's been going on for a few years. It started with, you guessed it, Christian missionaries in Africa. The natives didn't trust or like them at first, but then they realized they could get food and medicine and other good stuff by listening with them. Unfortunately, the missionaries spread their homophobia over there. At first, the Christian right considered it a great success but now they're trying to wash their hands of the extreme stance they're taking..... even though they're still fighting any attempt anyone (especially the UN or the US government) makes towards saying anything against this.
Here's one of their speeches. It's just absurd.

Or course, it didn't take long for this to get turned into youtube poop. Pun was probably intended. Enjoy.

They tried passing it before but it was really close. I'm not surprised they tried again and it passed. Now it's just a question of what the UN and/or the other governments of the world are going to do about it (probably nothing).
