Jan 5 (Reuters) - The United States said on Friday it was troubled by comments from Burundian President Evariste Ndayishimiye, who last week called on citizens of the small African country to stone gay people.
The comments escalated a crackdown on sexual minorities in a nation where LGBT people already face social ostracism and jail terms of up to two years if convicted of same-sex offences.

Well, that’s a step short of throwing them off the roof as they do in the Middle East
Whatever happened to “all cultures are equal”?

Burnindi’s president has the exact same views on criminal justice as the Obama administration’s 3rd term, only it’s Christians and Conservatives for whom they reserve lapidatian.
Eventually the Neocons will have to LEARN that not every country supports their Globo-Homo Agenda, and that is particularly true in Africa. And, as the Neocons are learning the hard way in Ukraine, their ability to project power around the world has GREATLY DIMINISHED since the end of the Cold War.
What do you call a stoned transvestite?
Dead
The “United States” cannot speak.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller speaks for the WOKE gay/pedophile/sexual-pervert mafia in Washington, DC.
But not for the normal people who comprise the majority population of the USA.
American citizens would like to see American politicians and bureaucrats do the jobs they were elected and hired to do.
It would be a much better world if they would spend their time fixing America’s problems, stop trying to run the world and stop trying ro force their WOKE agenda on everyone else.
US expresses concern after Burundi president says gay people should be stoned

Or allowed to test their wings off the top of a tall building.
Perhaps they should send federal troops to Burundi to enforce the gay lifestyle. Wheres Gay’d Lincoln when you need him?
obama should go to Burundi and show them the error of their ways...
Can’t we meet half way on this issue?
I wonder if any queers are going to Burundi thinking they are going to get high on drugs?
What are the pronouns of Queers in Burundi?
A: Was , Were.
Yes. See post #5
The Seventh Floor at the Dept of State is in a “tizzy”......

They said no such thing. I know I didn't.
