Gays face intimidation in Colombian farm community
In Pascol Colombia four HIV-positive gay youths and two others faced threats, rock-throwing, and expulsion from a rural valley home. Five armed men in fatigues warned them to leave, police now guard the site, and villagers blame the men for AIDS, spreading fear and triggering mass religious walkouts. Human rights groups and Eudes charity workers fear a worsening siege unless protection and tolerance rise.
