        @Francis_Makwaza what consenting adults do in private is no business of the State. I won't do business with a State that says otherwise.

        @markmcan I can't agree with you more , but people run the state and either way it will trickle down to citizens. This is a moral issue

        @Francis_Makwaza Is a *control* issue. If State brought in law saying what man+wife can or can't do in bed, would be riots! Same principle.

        @BVGamble @BBCBreaking Agreed. #LGBT community ought really actively support #PBO. Stereotypes do become the alternate reality.
