Gambian president, Yahya Jammeh, has warned that any gay or lesbians found in the country will "regret" being born.

During a speech on March 28th at the opening of the country’s parliament, President Jammeh said:

Homosexuality is anti-humanity. I have never seen homosexual chicken, or turkey. If you are convicted of homosexuality in this country, there will be no mercy for offenders.

Homosexuality is anti-god, anti-human, and anti-civilization. Homosexuals are not welcome in the Gambia.

If we catch you, you will regret why you are born. I have buffalos from South Africa and Brazil and they never date each other.

We are ready to eat grass but we will not compromise on this. Allowing homosexuality means allowing satanic rights. We will not allow gays here.
