If it isn't, you should know that I've seen the same sentiment crop up on at least two different blogs this very day.<br /><br />If it is, thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Either way, without calling +Minns a liar -- which I am in no position to do -- if Archbishop Akinola has endorsed the legislation, then he has endorsed jailing gay and lesbian Nigerians for speaking out on their own behalf.<br /><br />As Cheryl Clough says over at <a href="http://www.thinkinganglicans.org.uk/archives/002066.html">ThinkingAnglicans</a>:<br /><br /><i>People don't support people being sent to jail, but they do support legislation. What does this mean? They support ineffective legislation or an ineffective legal system? After all, if they don't support people going to jail, but they do support the legislation, that must mean that they do not want the legislation to be fulfilled...</i><br /><br />Like she says, to argue that he supports the legislation (which apparently no one denies), but that he doesn't support gay and lesbian Nigerians going to prison is a <i>weasel</i> of the highest order.
