[...] As horrifying as this is, it gets worse, since the Ugandan authorities responsible for this proposed legislation have received direct and indirect support from a variety of American and Western forces. First, those in the US pouring money into Maine to repeal its marriage equality legislation—which is on the ballot today—have over the years also made alliances with anti-gay forces in Uganda. American megachurch pastor Rick Warren once touted his relationships with those in Uganda now pushing these measure, though he claims to have disassociated himself from them in recent years. [...]

Just another way to keep the “faithful” in check and making babies. Life is damn cheap in that country and killing the faggots is another way to hold your power. Make no mistake, they will kill you as soon as look at you, and get a pat on the back for it! I have personal experience with that attitude from now imprisoned (29 3/4 years) Ugandans.

Does anyone know what the Bahais in Uganda have said about this bill? I have read unverified accounts that individual Bahais have previously spoken out in favor of condemning homosexuals, but I have not heard if the Bahai community has made an official comment about this bill or any of the related persecution of homosexuals in Uganda.

” “touch[ing] another person with the intention of committing the act of homosexuality.””

I wonder how their going to identify this… When they refer to act of homosexuality.. does it ONLY refer to sodomy? Or does it encompass holding hands, kissing, showing affection etc..?

“Adds an extra-territorial and extradition provisions, allowing Uganda to prosecute LGBT Ugandans living abroad.”

Due to the limitations of a visa… they would still need to return home at some point. Can they really force the return of an Ugandan from another nation or must they wait the return of the Ugandan in order to punish them?

“he assured the panel that its passage would give Uganda a place of honor among civilized nations.”

Yet not really the christian ones.

Now the question stands.. how can you change their hearts?

As long as they believe homosexuality is evil and believe all the ‘proofs’ that homosexuality is degenerated… then their sense of justice will not flail.. rather it should get stronger.

How did gay citizens rise from the severely oppressed state they lived centuries(or decades ago) in other countries to an equal or closer to equal status… no idea.

It will be harder now for LGBT Ugandans to achieve equality… not only are their brothers and sisters(their government and population) fighting for upholding morality, but they are also rather empowered to counter the threat other nations evil promulgation of gay rights poses. Will they listen? “Criminalizes all speech and peaceful assembly for those who advocate on behalf of LGBT citizens” It seems farther away now.
