THE GAY DEBATE : SEE LIST OF COUNTRIES WHERE SAME-SEX OR GAY RELATIONSHIPS ARE ALREADY ILLEGAL ... Be not wearied by the utterances of a few.

As Senate President David Mark gets busy rallying his colleagues to outlaw gay relationships in Nigeria, he is surely heartened by the fact that Nigeria is not the only country that opposes same sex relationships.
Laws against homosexual activity have already been passed in at least 78 countries.
