In Zimbabwe, alleging the president had gay sex can get you arrested.

The BBC News relays that local media said lawmaker Lynette Karenyi was held for seven days after telling supporters at a rally that President Robert Mugabe had sex with two male politicians.

Karenyi, who was released Thursday on bail, has denied insulting the president, which is a crime in Zimbabwe.

Mugabe is known for his extremist anti-gay views, having called gays "worse than pigs or dogs."
