Homosexuality can be legalized but without infringing the rights, cultural practices and health of others.–Salanje
Some body asked me that what is my opinion on legalization of homosexuality.
Well this is a tough issue to deal with all over the world, and I know my answer will confuse the spiritually and philosophically immature people, but the truth has to be told.
Am standing in two areas here, as a pastor and as someone who can run a country,
TALKING AS A PASTOR
when I check in Bible, homosexuality is sin before God so is womanising and manising. To God sin is sin, When God looks at homosexuality is bad and disgusting as the same as when someone is sleeping with the person who is not his wife or her husband. To God the homosexuality, the womaniser and the maniser fall in the same category.
There are no two hells, hell is hell, there is no hell for homosexuality and another hell for an womaniser.
TALKING AS A PRESIDENT
Culturally homosexuality is disgusting, is bad, but at the same time we must remember that running a country is not the same way we can run a church, a company, a tribe, and etc.
A country belongs to everybody, it belongs to homosexuality, to all the saits and all the sinners. And a country must be a place where everybody can feel comfortable and at home.
So telling a homosexuality person not to practice his or her sexual feelings, is infringing his or her rights.
Having said that, then you would see that is good to legalise homosexuality so that they can feel at home provided it must not infringe the rights, cultural practices and health of other citizens.
LEGALIZATION WITHOUT INFRINGING THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.
The most important thing here is how to regalise it without infringing the rights, cultural practices and health of the other citizens.
marriages of Man to woman are good, but if they can practice their sexual practices in the public, they can be arrested, so it must be with the homosexuality people too.
Legalization of homosexuality is not a problem but how you legalise it, can be a problem. If you can regalise it in the way that it can infringe the rights of others, then is a big problem.
So I would like to ask Malawian leaders and African leaders to consider homosexuality, but draft an agreement which will be sourced from all cultural groups, all churches, religion leaders , parties, and etc, so that homosexuality can be legalised in the manner that will not infringe the rights, cultural practices and the health of others.
Homosexuality must not be imposed or forced on other citizens, groups and individuals.
Let those who want to practice homosexuality to practice by not disturbing other people’s feelings.
Thanks and this is Pastor Hastings Salanje saying God bless you.
