Following a Supreme Court ruling on Tuesday, ordering that Namibia’s government recognise same-sex marriages concluded outside the country, Namibians said the following on social media:

From Facebook

Apstl Johnny: “When people think that God is toy they do evil things that make God to prove himself to Namibian people. Namibian people don’t try it that’s outstanding cause.”

ThikamapoBiogas Sharead Kalimbo: “This matter should be taken to the public for referendum. Period!”

Ester Rut van Nooten: “God created man and woman, please read your Bible.”

Shoe-Man Shoe-Man: “Ooo please God fall down . . . and come solve this before it get worse!”

Absalom Kayambu: “What do you expect if the lawmakers are pushing for their own interest.”

Errki Hamutenya: “Then we must also legalise cannabis and polygamy.”

Constance Amunyela: “This is such great news. Congratulations to the LGBTQI community.”

Wisslyzeonlika Mlunga: “The alphabet community is moving forward.”

From the Twittersphere

Namibia Equal Rights Movement: “Equality prevails”

Tangeni Haimbala: “Powerful message to the world that sexual orientation shouldn’t create borders or boundaries between us, but rather unite us as One Namibia, One Nation. Let’s prosper & live in harmony in our Namibian house independent of who/which/what we’re based on gender, ethnic or sexuality.”

Namibia Rainbow Power: “EQUALITY HAS PREVAILED!!”

Call me Meneer: “This is a move in the right direction.”

Mc Donaldson: “Get ready females. Majority are in jail the very few who were trying to conform to the norms of society will now default back to original configurations. The very few straight guy’s have big shoe’s to fill it’s best if they propose polygamy as a remedy to balance the situation.”

Ndinelago lyooMuwa: “Instead of fighting for the high unemployment rates you’re just focusing on same-sex rights.”

Kelly: “You will never find so many white people protesting with us blacks over things that affect us as a nation in whole… only when it benefits them as a whole you will find them…”

Miti.jane.9: “I’m happy . . . We all have rights and this country belongs to no one straight, gay or LBs . . . It’s your right to marry whoever u want and the GRN should.”

Wilbarduzzi: “Too much money in this thing of a man f*cking another men, abortion and transgederism, the aim is black population control, nothing else. It has nothing to do with human rights, it’s American foreign policy.”
