lashings for teen lesbians in nigeria
Six teenage "lesbians", aged 12!!!! to 17 have been sentenced to 90!!!!!!!! lashes of the cane, each, for a "shameful and abominable act" of "lesbianism".
These are children! I have a daughter who is almost twelve. This is horrific. ... and getting almost no media attention, anywhere (blogosphere or M$M).

Leaves one wondering how many Christian fundies in the US (or Australia for that matter) would like to see similar punishments meted out to lesbians/gays in their respective countries ..

I think that it would be perfectly reasonable to lynch anyone involved in the canings. Amputation would be a fair punishment, too.
