Ethiopian churches oppose gay travel company's tour plans

Tens of thousands of Ethiopian Orthodox believers gather at Millennium Hall in Addis Ababa.ADDIS ABABA - 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 programmes and dating programmes 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 organisation, the Sileste Mihret United Association, also held a press conference Monday to condemn the tour company.

"If Toto Tours comes to Ethiopia where 97% of Ethiopians surveyed oppose homosexuality, they will be damaged, they could even die," he said.Dan Ware, the president of Toto Tours, said the company had been"terribly misunderstood", in an email to AFP. "This is terrible discrimination, and when the word of this spreads internationally, as it is most likely to do, it will have a negative impact on the important tourism industry in Ethiopia."

To be gay it's not a life style it's a disability,but now gay people make it a life style to create Sodom and Gomorrah.
