Mai Ahmad Fatty declared ‘this is a red line’ on Friday as he slammed homosexuality as an ‘exceedingly’ disgusting lifestyle condemned by Allah.
The GMC leader said the overwhelming position of most Gambians about LGBT is ‘crystal’ clear.
He wrote on his official Facebook page: “Marriage is between a man and a woman. Anything contrary to that will NEVER find legitimacy in the Republic of The Gambia. Without a scintilla of doubt, a GMC Government will enact the most stringent penal statute ever, in response to such egregious deviant conduct.
“We will not be on an active search for culprits, but they will not find tranquility to practice such evil. We do not even want promoters of LGBT to join GMC. If you are not yet part of us, and it means that much to you, please stay away from us. It’s exceedingly disgusting lifestyle condemned by Allah and for which an entire generation was obliterated (according to the Scriptures).
“If LGBT means so much to you above and beyond, welcome to the highway exit from GMC. I call on all those who share this view to boycott all politicians, Imams and Priests who directly or indirectly propagate or condone this bestiality. No one should pray behind an Imam or a priest who defends this haraam nonsense. This is a RED LINE.”
Mr Fatty is the latest political leader to make his position known on homosexuality.
UDP leader Ousainou Darboe recently told The Fatu Network he is conservative when it comes to the issue of homosexuality.
