'KAMPALA, Uganda - Proposed legislation would impose the death penalty for some gay Ugandans, and their family and friends could face up to seven years in jail if they fail to report them to authorities. Even landlords could be imprisoned for renting to homosexuals.'
You are fucking joking right? American fundamentalists pissing on yet another region in a distant land….I’m confused…did the planes hitting the WTC not send out a big enough warning of what could possibly happen if you continually keep oppressing infiltrating and generally fucking over people you have no right to be around? It does question why the hell you feel you have the right to exact a campaign on countries with the heading ‘it’s a war on terror’…..when you are the constant or establisher of the damn terror.
I suggest we stop being apathetic and possibly turn around to the idiots provoking the possible onslaught. How fucking dare you?….Scott lively Don Schmierer Caleb Lee Brundidge and the Rev Jim Garlow …Mike Tidmus has given the background to these idiots here. Homophobic religious freaks, I want to go so far as to say racists as well. This is inciting the killing of people regarding their sexual preference you can't do that in America, why did they choose Uganda?? Maybe it's because Uganda is easy prey as they are not very fond of their gay population and have developed a bill suggesting that gay people should be put to death or have life imprisonment and like most governments pick and choose their values as and when it suits.
Uganda"s ethics minister, James Nsaba Buturo, said the death sentence clause would probably be reviewed but maintained the law was necessary to counter ''foreign influence'' (oh please). He said homosexuality "is not natural in Uganda," a view echoed by some Ugandans
The bill isn't new but the part the named Americans have to play in it is...if you want to have a read you will find it here entitled THE ANTI HOMOSEXUALITY BILL. 2009.... well it's to the point at least. Can you imagine waking up in the morning only to realise your life is at risk because of your DNA? Mince at your peril?? People can not turn off the gay gene.... bill reform or not they will continue to be targets from the people who feel threatened by their way of life and with the confidence that the law is on their side.
This is a reactionary piece...although I have sat on it for several days and I give a graceful curtsey to @fokiesd for giving me a heads up on it. The men in question have backed down in their involvement for obvious reasons. And the bill is supposedly under review. But I think the problem with fighting against humanitarian breeches is the resistance you find for cultures to recognise that their sometimes violent discrimination, infringes on a persons right to live freely without fear but hey.. I guess that's what's intended. They genuinely feel that gay people threaten the family structure and value. Maybe the Uganda government now recognises they are being watched but 'David Bahati, the legislator sponsoring the bill, said he was encouraging
"constructive criticism" to improve the law, but insisted strict measures were necessary to stop homosexuals from "recruiting" schoolchildren.'
WHAT??? But this is not in isolation Nigeria Kenya and Rwanda are places discriminating against homosexuals as well. It's bad enough their governments are doing it to their own people, they do not need manipulation and provocation from the homophobics in the rest of the world. Africa is seriously messed up as it is without the missionaries coming back to finish off the fucking job!

Yeah I think a lot of blame does lay at the feet of these politicians like Inhofe and the "the family" at C street. Also religious types like pastor Rick Warren and this idiot "former gay" Richard Coehn (who published false statistics about gays being predatory and tries to get people to believe that being gay is optional - therefore sinful) who have been to Uganda many times to propagate these ideas. The Ugandans are under the tutelage of very powerful people and want to curry favor. Notice that the Americans haven't saying anything to the Ugandans against the bill - until now. Of course as you mention they are back tracking... Rick Warren came out against the bill yesterday as did Inhofe.
ReplyDeleteThe latest is that they actually dropped the death penalty out of the bill... of course that does leave quite a lot of heinous penalties including three years in prison for knowing someone is gay and not reporting them...
I've been reading about this legislation on the blog of a British Anglican priest. I thought the legislations was a pointed reaction to the schism in the Anglican/Episcopal church, because the conservative factions are pissed that the liberals in the church are ordaining homosexuals. The Ugandan Anglicans are definitely on the opposed side, and both British and American Anglicans are up in arms about this legislation.
ReplyDeleteI can't speak to what American evangelicals are disseminating in foreign countries. We are not the only ones sending missionaries abroad, and we are not the only homophobic nation sending them. US evangelicals are not going to approve of the death penalty for homosexuals, no matter how homophobic they are themselves. Hey, this makes them look GREAT. "You think we're oppressive for overturning the marriage bills in state after state? Well, at least we aren't executing gays!" And American evangelicals should speak out against the law, even if they're hypocritical. Because God knows there shouldn't be such a law anywhere.

ReplyDeleteHide away all the lies
Those puppy eyes
Lead me away
They leave my heart
Knotted in ties
They give my stomach
Little black butterflies
Your brown eyes
What a wonderful job of seeing what is going on. Check out Doctor Bill Deagle's on the nutramidical report.

I'm not gay but I still think that's too harsh. Goes to show that there isn't really any real laws in that messed up country.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas O..**
ReplyDeleteHey its Soph. I tagged your blog!

I agree that America and its influence affects many - but the Ugandans, the Kenyans, the Nigerians, etc. are people like all the rest of us and need to take their own responsibility for this atrocity. America is a very big place; American people are generally good people...like the rest of you.
