Liberian Ex-First Lady Proposes ‘Kill The Gays’ Bill | The former first lady of Liberia, Jewel Howard Taylor, has introduced a bill that would allow homosexuality to be punished with the death penalty. Taylor, now a senator, also wishes to ban same-sex marriage. Both the U.S. and Great Britain have said that foreign aid may be cut if persecution of homosexuality continues, but countries like Liberia and Uganda seem to be recommitting themselves to oppressing their gay citizens.
