Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe condemned gays and lesbians and made some bizarre remarks against gay rights in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly Monday.

"We are not gays," Mugabe declared in his U.N. speech in New York.

The longtime controversial Zimbabwean ruler also accused westerns countries of promoting homosexuality by prescribing it as new human rights.

"We reject attempts to prescribe new rights that are contrary to our values, norms, traditions and beliefs," Mugabe told the world leaders gathered at U.N. headquarters in New York, according to Zimbabwe Daily.

Mugabe, 91, also said that his country will not accept homosexuality and not regard rights of homosexuals as human rights.

"Respecting and upholding human rights is the obligation of all states and is enshrined in the United Nations charter. Nowhere does the charter arrogate the right to some to seat in judgement over others," the longtime Zimbabwe's ruler said, VOA Zimbabwe reported.

"In that regard, we reject the politicization of this important issue [human rights] and the application of double-standards to victimize those who dare think and act independently of the self-anointed prefects of our time," he further said.

Mugabe, world's oldest president, is known for his anti-gay remarks. He had earlier termed homosexuals as "pigs, goats and birds"  and told them to go to hell, according to Zimbabwe Daily.
