It is propaganda because your claim was that it is illegal in Africa.  Since 62% of African nations do allow homosexuality for one or both genders you are actually incorrect.

Your claim that homosexuality is viewed in a bad light by Africans is a foolish one.  Once again, you are making a claim generalizing an entire group of people based off the color of their skin.  Each nation in Africa has its own culture and traditions.  They are not all from the same originating tribe but the CONTINENT (not nation as Africa is NOT a nation) is comprised of MANY tribes and nations which are home to many tribes. To generalize anything as true in the entire continent is to generalize by skin color and that is quite prejudiced and racist.  You can't claim to be generalizing a nation of people because Africa is comprised of MANY nations.  You can't claim to be generalizing a religious group because Africa is home to paganism, Catholicism, and Islam.  So, your generalization is based on skin color and I find that quite offensive.

So, yes, your claim is propaganda because you claimed it was illegal in Africa.  You originally didn't claim it was viewed badly in much of Africa...but that it was illegal in Africa.  I have proven that claim is false since 62% of African nations do allow it for one or both genders.  If you are unwilling to admit that your original claim was incorrect and that your continued pushing it as true does indeed make it propaganda then you are only proving that you:

1) Don't have the wisdom to side with truth over baseless claims that make you look right
2) Are not interested in the truth but only in arguing

Either way...continued discussion with you would be pointless.  It's like trying to bake a cake with someone who insists on using a recipe for soup.  Sure, you'll end up with something...but it won't be the cake.  A discussion should always be about the truth.  And when you insist on using baseless and false claims like "homosexuality is illegal in Africa" when it is not...and you are unwilling to admit you were incorrect...then you are trying to apply a soup recipe to a cake baking operation.  People who want to bake cakes with soup recipes need to be removed the kitchen...and if they won't leave...then a true baker won't bake with them.  That being said...I'm not interested in your "soup" and have no intention of insulting my own intelligence with your lies and immaturity.

geeogree : I agree with you people being able to make their own decisions is more important than restrictions but within reason obviously. I don’t think any of us would want a world without police and without certain things to protect us. In regard to gay marriage I don’t have a problem with that and I don’t think it should be a problem or used as a political ploy either for or against as a way to garner votes. To me there are more important things that should be focused on. The economy is the main thing that I think that should be focused on. I also feel that there should be a healthcare system similar to that of Canada’s so that no citizen is forced to go without healthcare and to be more specific adequate healthcare. As in if someone needs some kind of treatment or some form of medical equipment that there won’t be roadblocks relating to someone’s particular insurance plan or what form of government healthcare they’re enrolled in. This to me is what should be done. Citizens shouldn’t have to face the stress and uncertainty of worrying about whether or not the treatment and or medical equipment that they need is covered under their insurance. This is what adequate national insurance would resolve in my mind if it were done properly. To me it’s just more important and should be mandatory rather than seeing pushes for legislation pushed by special interest groups and or motivated by a politician’s individual beliefs to attempt to restrict how people can live. Just one man’s opinion.
