Head Case

posted by on January 24 at 10:07 AM

A gay man in Nigeria gets six weeks in prison—for laying his head on another man’s chest.

A self-acclaimed homosexual, Mr. Francis Chima, was yesterday sentenced to six weeks in prison by an Abuja magistrate court… The convict who lives in Jabi, Abuja, told the court that it was the work of Satan.

“The time I met him on the road, I saw him as a friend and when we entered his house, we discussed and as I was about to go, I put my head on the chest of the man and I wanted to be his friend,” he said.

Before he was sentenced, Mr. Chima pleaded for leniency and promised that he will not repeat such offence.

Somewhere Sam Brownback is smiling…

Ah, now here's a government Dinesh D'Souza can get behind. Clearly we must follow the example of Nigeria, or terrorists will continue to attack us for our libertine ways.

Well, that WAS a pretty gay thing to do. What did he think would happen to him? Has he not read the bible? Some people, I swear...

Which head did he put on his chest?

@ Will: But waxing chest hairs is gay, too. What's a man to do?

@ Him, the proper response would be to deny the newly outed chest hairs any of the ammenities (washing, preening, trimming, etc.) you afforded them in the past in hopes they will eventually either go away or start acting straight again. That's democracy!

We have to fight for the right to arm chest hairs!

Or was that bare chests?

OK - need to work on that phrase ...
