Madonna released a statement condemning the Malawi government for sentencing two gay men to 14 years of hard labour for having an engagement ceremony last year. Remember, Madonna has adopted two children from Malawi and I think it's a positive step to bring attention to this disgusting decision.
I am shocked and saddened by the decision made today by the Malawian court, which sentenced two innocent men to prison. As a matter of principle, I believe in equal rights for all people, no matter what their gender, race, colour, religion, or sexual orientation. Today, Malawi took a giant step backward. The world is filled with pain and suffering; therefore we must support our basic human right to love and be loved. I call upon the progressive men and women of Malawi - and all around the world - to challenge this decision in the name of human dignity and equal rights for all.
