(telegraph.co.uk) Steven Monjeza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20, were arrested in December days after holding a wedding ceremony in conservative Malawi’s commercial hub Blantyre. Their arrest triggered international protests over the country’s anti-gay laws.
They were locked up for five months during their trial and after their conviction, until President Bingu wa Mutharika pardoned them on May 29.
Less than two weeks after their release, they said they had broken off the relationship.
“I am no longer in love with Tiwonge Chimbalanga. I am in love with a woman called Dorothy Gulo,” Mr Monjeza said. “We are planning something for the future with Dorothy.” (more…)
I have somewhat of a hard time believing this one even though there have been many who have walked away from the gay lifestyle. Malawi has a long history of being anti-gay and I do not believe they are going to allow some Westerners to come in and change that.
On another note, I have noticed that some of the same people who raised hell about this whole issue were some of the same people who take America out to the woodshed for “interfering with other cultures”. At what point is it defined as “interfering”?
