Ethiopian churches oppose gay travel company’s tour plans

Ethiopia’s religious leaders on Monday urged the government to block a US gay travel company from touring the country’s ancient sites, and one group warned visiting homosexuals could face violence.

“Tour programs and dating programs that try to use our historical sites and heritage should be immediately stopped by the Ethiopian government and we urge Ethiopians supporting these sinful and evil acts to desist from their acts,” Tagay Tadele of the Inter-Religious Council of Ethiopia told journalists.An influential Ethiopian Orthodox organization, the Sileste Mihret United Association, also held a press conference Monday to condemn the tour company.

Dan Ware, the president of Toto Tours, said the company had been “terribly misunderstood”, in an email to AFP.
