This is contrary to the earlier position the US government had announced that it would in future consider tying its aid to the respect for gay rights.
Mr. Storella has further told Qfm in an interview that his country’s aid to Zambia has actually increased to more than four hundred million U.S dollars in assistance per year, despite the refusal by the Zambian government to recognize gay rights.
Mr. Storella adds that his country will continue supporting Zambia’s democracy and human rights.

Why not just give Citizenship to Gay people in the US. This should make matters far much easy for everyone!

You are right, it is the culture of America to be gay not Zambian. So let America take them all and give them citizenship. Otherwise, it is not African culture and Zambia in particular to be gay. They have got no place here since they are worse than animals.

Dimma uli musongo (genious). I totally agree with u. They must first examine their munyelos to prove they r gay then give them one way airtickets and citizenships. Similar to them becomin political refugees. Simple!

There is nothing and no one to thank. It is our right as a country to choose what we want without being held ransom by anybody regardless of whatever circmstance. Whoever wants to bonk a same sex individual should leave this country and go where this kind abnormal stupidity is allowed.

Gay rights will soon be recognized. He is only speaking as his transfer to Belgium is complete. He knows the Government is moving closer to Gay rights in Zambia. Viva Gays. Viva Storella. We will soon give human rights to Gay Zambians.
