The US ambassador said it was horrifying that a gay couple was jailed for 15 years.

Zambia's high court last month jailed the men for engaging in sexual relations"against the order of nature", a move the US ambassador said was horrifying.

President Edgar Lungu said on December 15 that Zambia, a major beneficiary of US aid, had sent a protest letter to Washington over the remarks by Foote and was awaiting a response. "Since Lungu says he does not want to work with Foote, there was no point of him remaining. Also don't forget that there are security issues so Washington want their man back," the source said.

We proud of what Zambian government is doing, its not about judging but gayism is an evil act that needs to be wiped out in our societies,

In families with strong views against gay people, sanity only begins to prevail when a gay child gets born into that family.

Zambian government should come to the realization that gay rights are also human rights. They should let others be!

That ambassador was kicked out by zambian authorities for opposing that law .🙄

The idiots must eat mud. Let them keep there backwards ways and don’t give them any assistance!
