Reject homosexuality


Former church of god overseer Bishop John Mambo has called on government to avoid being lenient on calls to legalize homosexuality in Zambia.

Bishop Mambo said that Zambia is a Christian nation stating that Christianity does not tolerate same sex relations.

He said that in the church there is no human rights because when one commits sin is sin.

Bishop Mambo said the calls to legalize homosexuality are not new and that government should not be seen to accept such taboo.

He told QFM that it is also not a Zambian culture to allow Zambians to engage in same sex relations.

The Bishop noted that if that is allowed, Zambia might be destroyed in its cultural beliefs.

He added that it was unfortunate that some people were championing gay activities but expressed confidence that no one would openly support homosexual activities.

Last month, some political parties have said they cannot support and champion the legalization of homosexuality in Zambia because the practice is unChristian and alien to the nation.

The MMD and United Party for National Development (UPND) said separately that Zambia was declared a Christian nation and the issue of homosexuality had no room in this society.

But the Patriotic Front (PF) said it had not dealt with the matter because it was concentrating on more important issues.
