CAIRO: A leading Ethiopian daily newspaper has reported that the United States and Europe are looking to spread and promote homosexuality in the East African country. The Yenga daily wrote, in a June 18 article, that “gayness” was growing dramatically in the country and the “infestation of those carriers” are now at least 16,000 people. The “report” went on to argue that gay persons have an average of 75 partners annually and that this “promiscuous” nature sees some gay people have as many as 7 partners in one day. The article described how such “practices” are being “imported” to Ethiopia through students who receive scholarships to study in the United States and Europe. Dan Littauer wrote in Pinknews.co.uk: Other agents conspiring to ‘spread' homosexuality are apparently the United Nations, Embassies of European and North American countries, International NGO's with their gay staff and tourists. The paper reported that the national anti-homosexual conference that was held little over a week ago in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, demanded urgent measures be taken by the government, including the death penalty, in order to prevent the rapid ‘spread' of homosexuality and the apparent consequential sexual abuse of young boys. The article additionally demanded that the Ethiopian government block all pornographic sites because these factor in the spread of the ‘social evil' identified by the conference.
