Ten sexual deviants sitting on a wall
Well it was a nice change from all the political abuse this site normally attracts. A guy called 'Blank' has just accused me of the terrible crime of being a "gay activist" (see comments below the post below).
He wrote:
I am saying this because I saw a link on your blog (meskelsquare) a link to a gay website. I know not how you choose whether to create a link to another site or not, but I am pretty sure this will be viewed by many as gay activism. And gay rights activism is not what you may want to be credited for. After all there are probably less than ten sexually deviant people in Ethiopian. Are you willing to campaign for these people and insult the rest of us (an the nation)?
Fewer that ten sexual deviants in Ethiopia? What a dull, dull country.

What people do in thier privacy is non of my or Blank's buisness nor should it be anyone else's, except those consentually engaged in it (so long as I am not forced to be a spectator).
But don't call my country dull - it is anything but.

The "Dull" comment was just a joke nathan. But about the Gay thing and "Blank's" comment, we Ethiopians are always in denial about it. We are not any different, it is just the culture that puts them in the closet. Don't fool yourself. You should also include in your definition of "sexually deviant" having intimate relationship with a prostitute, cheating on your spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend. Generally having multiple partners and bragging about it. That was the mentality of the urban youth until the disease took its toll.

Wouldn't you think you cross a redline when you said my beloved country is a dull country? You and your views are dull to me than your people and your country.
