Immorality must not become an issue of discussion. Just make and pass laws to totally ban the existence and practice of such immoral acts.
THERE WON'T BE ANY PROMOTION OF G**S AND LE****NS UNDER MY WATCH: PRIME MINISTER MARAPE
Papua New Guinea Prime Minister, James Marape says there won't be any promotion of g**s and le****ns under his watch.
“There is no bill with our government to promote g**s and le****ns in the country. Neither will there be any promotion of g**s and le****ns under my watch. People’s sexual preferences are within their individual rights of choice but our government will not be promoting this matter or be seen to be legitimizing gay or le***an rights in PNG.
“The current laws of our country are sufficient in giving respect to and protecting human rights. These laws protect our people against violence, abuse and these are sufficient.
“As far both our Melanesian and Christian worldviews are concerned, this unnatural practices are not allowed. And I ask those who are invited residents of Papua New Guinea to respect our national mindset and character.
“There is no bill before us in Parliament today and we don’t intend to go down this path. I want to ask people not to speculate or make up stories to mislead people,” said the Prime Minister.
To public comments about the United States Embassy in PNG flying the LGBTQ flag on its grounds, PM Marape said that it is their Embassy space and preference.
"Like all activities in embassy grounds and offices, we have no direct control of what happens in mission areas, but I will be reminding them to maintain respect consistent to our culture, custom and religion,” said PM Marape in a media statement.
