Zambian Christians Want New Constitution To Reject Gays and Keep Christian Nation

The Christian Post and the Zambian Watchdog both report on a march that was planned for yesterday in Lusaka, Zambia by Christian groups who are demanding that the new constitution being drafted for the country not protect homosexuality. They also want to assure that the new document will retain the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation that appears in the Preamble to the current Constitution. The demonstration was organized by the Christian NGO Rainbow Coalition, whose spokesman said: "This [homosexuality] is a new concept to our culture which Zambians will not entertain as in Zambia we do not even have local terminology for homosexuality." Between 50% and 75% of Zambians are Christians.
