    "content": "I am a Christian and it cannot change. Two, I am a human rights activist. Those two cannot change. Where the two conflicts, I am Christian and that does not change. Having said that, I have listened to Hon. Jennifer Shamalla. She said that she was denied accreditation. If, indeed, that is true, it is intolerance of the highest order. I want to urge the organisers that it does not matter what the diverse opinions are. Let them go to the ICPD and be heard. We are also falling in the same trap. The same way we are stopping Hon. Jennifer Shamalla is the same way we do not want to hear lesbians and gays views. If we have different views, let us be tolerant. Let those who do not want gays and lesbians state that they do not want them. Let those who want them say it and give their reasons. Let them cite the biblical verses and Koran that embolden them to deny gays and lesbians. Let the ones who want to talk about the human rights say what they want. That is what tolerance is all about. Otherwise, as a country, we are dangerously going through what not only the United States of America (USA) went through, but also the entire world is going through. The far rights are coming in because of intolerance. Those of us who are deemed to be conservative are not willing to listen to other voices. Because of that, the negative voices are taking over. Let everybody be heard. I will go to that conference and I will state my position as a Christian and as a human rights activist."
