Reply to "Gay couple sentenced in Malawi"

Blimey, I hadn't heard that in any of the news reports!

I've just read this article, which does, sort of, mention it:

'Chimbalanga often wore women's clothing. He called himself Auntie Tiwo, and was, until the article appeared, accepted as a woman by his employer, cooking and cleaning at a local lodge. He insists he did nothing wrong but fall in love.'

Although, it still calls her 'he'.

It also mentions colonialism and religion and how homosexuality and transgender identities used to be far more accepted in some African cultures.
