President Robert Mugabe on Wednesday while launching the Tongogara Community Share Ownership Trust at Unki Mine urged Zimbabwean youth not to be tempted into practicing homosexuality because its not in our culture.
"Do not get tempted into that (homosexuality). You are young people. Mukaenda ikoko we will punish you severely."
Responding to the British Prime Minister David Cameron's recent statement that his country will not aid countries that do not respect gay rights.
Mugabe said its Satanic when a Prime Minister like Cameron says countries that want British aid should accept homosexuality.
"To come with that diabolical suggestion to our people is a stupid offer," President Mugabe said.
He added: "Chambopinda mumisoro yevarungu chii? Kuti vari kutadza zvinoitwa nenhunzi nemapete ese? Izvi hazvipo patsika dzedu kana yechiKristo.
"It is condemned by nature. It is condemned by insects and that is why I have said they are worse than pigs and dogs."
The President said it was impossible for John to marry Jack or Maria to marry Theresa.
Meanwhile there are efforts by an MDC-T team in Copac to smuggle gay rights into the new constitution disguised as minority rights.
Last week, Copac failed to agree on the matter and it was referred to President Mugabe and PM Tsvangirai for intervention.
