Possible Gay Genocide in Gambia

The Gambia's president is at it again. President Yahya Jammeh was once notorious for his insane policies on HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention or, more accurately, lack there of. In a recent decree, Jammeh takes his next steps as a hate mongering dictator. According to the Afrol News, the official lunatic is seeking a crackdown on homosexuals harsher than Iran's acts of genocide. On Thursday, Jammeh announced that gays, lesbians, and "criminals" have 24 hours to leave the country or face death. He also ordered landlords and hotel owners to evict homosexuals or else they will have to endure mass searches, which the United States would deem unconstitutional by our own standards. Queer people have seen their fair share of genocide in the past. I can only hope the international authorities are working to prevent this guy from joining lists with names Milosovic, Stalin, Hitler and Kim Jong Il.
