Zambia: Tough on Corruption and Gays- Behind the Mask-11/13/03 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
Excerpts:<br>
November 13, 2003: The Times of Zambia reported recently that while vice-President Nevers Mumba was addressing a group of journalism students on corruption and freedom of the press, he also encouraged the church to stand against "unbiblical practises".<br><br>
Despite this ethical stand, however, he also saw fit to condemn the consecration of American gay Anglican bishop, Gene Robinson. He called on the Anglican Church in Zambia and throughout the African continent to stand against such practices because they are unbiblical

Morocco- Behind the Mask [.mask.org.za]-1/1/05 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
legal wise<br>
status of homosexuality: illegal
age of consent: 15
laws covering homosexual activity: Homosexuality is criminalized under Section 489 of the Penal Code [of 26 November 1962] which provides a penalty of between 6 months and 3 years' imprisonment and additional fines from 120 to 1000 Dirhams for "lewd or unnatural acts with an individual of the same sex".
background information and government attitudes: Morocco has long been known for its liberal attitudes and was a holiday haven for European gays in the early 20th Century. However as a principally Muslim country and with fundamentalism on the rise this is no longer the case. In January 1997 the Washingon Blade reported that a 28-year-old Moroccan man was granted asylum by the United States, having fled violent beatings at the hands of his own father and the threat of imprisonment by the Moroccan government because he was gay.

Morocco: Gays and Lesbians- GayTimesUK - 1/1/05 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
http://www.gaytimes.co.uk/gt/listings.asp?CID=672&action=ShowCountry<br><br>
Scene & culture:<br>
The general attitude towards male homosexual activity in Morocco is that it is simply done and is not talked about. The macho culture makes it shameful to take the passive role in anal intercourse. A "real man" has to always be the active partner, and preferably also receive some money or small gift from the other partner, even if only of symbolic value. This removes the stigma of having had pleasure from the encounter, and implies that the other party was the exploited one, and exploitation is considered manly. Foreign tourists can almost always expect to be the passive part.
