Liberia is considering its own ‘kill the gays bill’ inspired by former first lady Jewel Taylor

Former Liberian first lady Jewel Taylor has introduced a bill proposing that homosexuality should be punished with the death sentence.

Former president Charles Taylor’s ex-wife is now a senator in the west African country and also wants to ban gay marriage.

The proposed legislation says: ‘No two persons of the same sex shall have sexual relations. A violation of this prohibition will be considered a first degree felony.’
