Britain threatens to cut aid to 'Anti-gay' Ghana

The British Prime Minister has vowed to get tough on Ghana and other African countries with poor records on gay rights by slashing millions of pounds from their aid payments.

In a sign that Britain is no longer prepared to turn a blind eye to nations that victimize sections of society, David Cameron will tell African leaders they will receive funding "fines" if persecution of gays continues, the Daily Mail reports.

The UK government has already taken steps against Malawi, cutting aid by $30 million after two homosexuals who held an engagement ceremony were sentenced to 14 months hard labor. And payments could be cut further to the southern African nation, which has received $312 since 2008, if it proceeds with plans to bring in tough anti-lesbian laws.
