Madonna’s statement on Malawi’s gay couple who have been sentenced to 14 years in prison for being gay

4


“I am shocked and saddened by the decision made today by the Malawian court, which sentenced two innocent men to prison. As a matter of principle, I believe in equal rights for all people, no matter what their gender, race, color, religion, or sexual orientation. Today, Malawi took a giant step backward. The world is filled with pain and suffering; therefore, we must support our basic human right to love and be loved. I call upon the progressive men and women of Malawi – and around the world – to challenge this decision in the name of human dignity and equal rights for all.”  – Madonna

Really? After all of the hoopla that surrounded this subject and after everything this couple has gone through Madonna releases this lame statement when the court decision has been made. It’s just another one of those things where Madonna could have done something but waited until she couldn’t and then released an altruistic kumbaya kind of jargon.

    I believe it was so wrong too to throw those men in prison. They were in love and have a right to be. They are gay but not wrong. What is this world coming to I always wonder…Nice post.
