UFO mayor bans gays
Archive: Homophobia
A controversial Brazilian mayor is being sued by human rights workers after he signed a decree banning homosexuals from living in his town.
Mayor Elcio Berti, of Bocaivua do Sul, said he decided to act after hearing an interview with a gay man who wanted to live in the town.
He told Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper: “I need to increase the population, by encouraging people to have kids, not with troublemakers.
“When I was a kid I used to live amongst criminals but even so they were all real men.”

Feel free to share your feelings about UFO mayor bans gays. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.
This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
