This is what i said the other day and keep saying. These countries should be cut off from aid if they do not change their polices. However, even though these countries are at the extreme end of anti-gay laws, U.S. is not showing a great example with DOMA….
“The government is committed to combating violence and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in all circumstances, in this country and abroad. We take action where we have concerns.
“We now allocate funds every three months, rather than every year, so that we can review a country’s performance, for example on human rights, and take swift action when governments fall short. We only provide aid directly to governments when we are satisfied that they share our commitments to reduce poverty and respect human rights.” full deets here
