Burundi’s President Evariste Ndayishimiye launched a virulent anti-gay tirade on Friday, saying same-sex couples should be publicly stoned.

He also lashed out at Western countries that press other nations to allow gay rights or risk losing aid.

Homosexuality in Burundi, a conservative Christian country in East Africa, has been criminalised since 2009 with prison terms of up to two years for consensual same-sex acts.

What if we stoned homophobes instead?

    it's funny because being homophobic is a choice, being gay isn't. So indeed it makes more sense to punish homophobes, as they are the ones who can actually change.
