A gay couple in Malawi, found guilty of gross indecency and unnatural acts after they took part in an "engagement ceremony," was sentenced to 14 years in prison Thursday.
Steven Mojenza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20, were convicted in a court Tuesday.
The pair was arrested in December at their home in Blantyre, Malawi, for professing their love in a traditional engagement ceremony. They were rounded up after news reports surfaced, charged under colonial-era sodomy laws and detained at Chichiru Prison without bail.
Homosexuality is illegal in Malawi -- as it is in most African nations -- and government officials have said they are simply upholding the law.

If I can offer some suggestions:
Perhaps Madonna and other celebrities can ban together and adopt all the gay people in Malwai and leave behind the starving children ...
Or perhaps all people should admit or pretend to be gay in hopes of being arrested. This would help resolve the countries poverty crisis. The government would simply feed and provide shelter to everyone. Crisis solved!
