The welcome news from California on marriage equality has generated lots of reactions, so I thought I’d note something quite in the other direction: this headline, via Brett at Harry’s Place — “President plans to kill off every single homosexual.” That’d be President Yahya Jammeh of Gambia, the tiny sliver of a country that bisects Senegal. In preparing for my Senegal trip in February (see here, here, here, here), I read a fair amount about Gambia, and I knew its democratic record was pretty well tarnished. Didn’t know how much.
