ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon says African nations should stop treating gays as “second-class citizens, or even criminals.”
Ban told African leaders that gathered in Ethiopia’s capital Sunday for an African Union summit that discrimination based on sexual orientation “had been ignored or even sanctioned by many states for far too long.”
There was no immediate response from African heads of state to Ban’s speech.
