Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza are No More

This is sad.

Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza are no more.

The Nation reports:

In a dramatic twist to the tale of Malawi’s convicted but pardoned gay lovebirds, the man, Steven Monjeza, has dumped his homosexual 'wife' Tiwonge Chimbalanga to marry a Blantyre-based woman.

Twenty-four-year old Dorothy Gulo on Monday confessed her love for Monjeza whom she described as "a real man capable of doing to women what other men ably do in bed." She was explicit about the issue and said she had nothing to hide.

"I have tried him on two occasions and he proved to me he can live with a woman. I was impressed with him when my curiosity got the better of me and here I am. My only worry is what Chimbalanga would do if he found out," said Gulo, who does nothing for a living.

She said they have been living together for some days after their meeting in Mbayani where she was living with her parents. Gulo said Monjeza complimented her on her looks. Said Gulo: "I did not immediately realise it was Monjeza because I knew his story. I only recognised him after a while. Right now, I am looking forward to a future together. I don't care what people say, because many are talking. I am yet to tell my parents about us."

An excited Monjeza said he no longer wanted to be associated with what he called "gay trash" as he had found real love in Gulo. Said Monjeza: "We were pardoned but I know the law can bounce back on us if we are not careful. Although I claimed that I still love Tiwo, I did not mean it. I have never had sex with him as was revealed in court. That is why the medical examination failed to establish any anal penetration. I was coerced into the whole thing."

I can't believe this. After all they have been through? How could this happen, why did this happen? Steven, really?

I would love to hear from Tiwonge.

OFA's letter of support to End DADT

Organizing for America, known as Obama for America, has sent out a letter to its millions of followers to help end DADT:

Keeping the President's promise

Friend --

This is big news: Yesterday, the full House of Representatives and the Armed Services Committee in the Senate voted to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

In his State of the Union address, President Obama pledged to end the law that denies gays and lesbians the right to serve their country. Now, we are closer than ever to making good on that promise.

The full Senate will soon start its debate on repeal. But some Republicans are digging in their heels. Senator John McCain said, "I'll do everything in my power" to block a vote. And Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker called the repeal bill "a major mistake" -- announcing that the GOP plans to filibuster.

We can defeat those who'd stand in the way of history. But we must show our senators that Americans -- in every state -- overwhelmingly support repeal.

Stand with the President and join the pledge to end "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

From the Recovery Act to health reform to Wall Street reform, one by one President Obama is delivering on his campaign promises. And, now -- if we can overcome Republican obstruction -- we have a chance to deliver on another: bringing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to an end.

As the President has said, this is about more than just living up to his word. We must end this law because "it's the right thing to do."

Any policy that punishes brave men and women who step forward to serve their country simply for being who they are isn't just misguided -- it's discrimination.

That's why President Obama didn't just campaign on ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"; he made it a priority. And it's why it's now a matter of how and when -- not if -- we will repeal this law.

But as the Republicans prepare to block a vote on this historic legislation, we must do all we can to help deliver on the President's promise.

Add your name to the pledge today -- and then please pass it on:

Now to be real, WE should have been doing this from the gate, but hey the more the merrier.

Question of the Day

Is Obama really breaking promises or are folks jumping the gun?

I think there are solutions coming soon, but that's me. How about y'all?
