The gay couple in Malawi who were sentenced to 14 years in prison after holding an engagement party and were then later pardoned by the nation's president have split up.
Local reports said Steven Monjeza isn't interested in gay life anymore, broke up with Tiwonge Chimbalanga, and quickly got engaged to a woman. "I want to live a normal life," Monjeza said, according to Britain's Guardian.
Chimbalanga, however, told the paper: "There are lots of good men around. I will remain a gay."
President Bingu wa Mutharika pardoned the couple May 29 following international condemnation of the sentences and apparent pressure from United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
