Summary: Recently in Zimbabwe two gay men were arrested and have just been released as of today. The two men are being tried for the possession of pornographic material and insulting the Zimbabwean President Mugabe. The trial is set for June 10Th, and the men will face either large fines or time in prison. The men claimed that while they were in jail they were assaulted by the police officers after they were arrested last Friday. Homosexual acts are illegal in Zimbabwe, but arrests are not common.
Opinion: It seems to me that there is alot of discrimination against gays in Zimbabwe, and the majority of the people do not believe in homosexuality. Even President Mugabe has said degrading things about gays and this has just made things even worse. In my opinion i think that the government should stop trying to control this situation in Zimbabwe, because no matter what they do, the people will still do what they want.
