Malawi gay couple jailed for indecency, unnatural acts

The article on CNN says that a gay couple had been arrested and sentenced 14 years in jail for what people considered "gross indecency and unnatural rights" after an engagement party." They had been arrested because in Africa gay marriage is against the law. Activists in Malawi say "Article 20 of the countries constitution--which outlaws discrimination--is being violated." When this was interviewed the country said they have no law that criminalizes sexual orientation , just certain sexual acts."
I think that people need to be more educated on the sexuality of the same gender. Why is it such a big deal to be with a person of the same sex. Love is love to me. If a man and a woman love someone and are very happy people think that is okay. So what is wrong with two men or two women being just as happy and it NOT being okay? I think that if people have a problem with gay marriage or gay intamacy they should be asked why they have such a problem with it? A law and a 14 year jail sentance isn't fair at all just to love someone of the same sex.
