It’s a standard mutter: There should be a law against it! It shouldn’t be allowed! People say that sort of thing all the time; they’re rarely actually thinking in terms of real legislation. It’s just a way of expressing strong disapproval of someone’s actions.

I’m guessing, from the use of the word shite, that KP is Irish, or possibly British. You Americans may have different idioms.

People shouldn’t be allowed to go overseas and spread lies that foment hate/violence. These American preaches should not be allowed to do this shite!

Uhh.. based on what legal grounds?

Keep in mind such an approach would also give government the power to deny gay rights advocates from working abroad..

No thanks, I’ll keep my freedom of movement. It’s restricted enough by draconian immigration rules as it is.

These American preaches should not be allowed to do this shite! Also do we know if Sweden is still going to withold it’s aide money. There was a link to an article about Sweden cutting off aide if the bill was passed on towleroad.com

So, now we get to see that there are some parallels between The Family’s role in Uganda and Opus Dei’s role in Franco’s Spain. Perhaps somebody needs to have a little heart to heart about how much good that did. The part about how hurting lots of little people so as to build up one’s connection to a tyrannical government that then falls taking just about all of your connections with it and exposing your agenda to the political will of a bunch of folks who remember your role in the previous regime all too well, should be particularly interesting.

Or rather, it would be if it ever happened. That sort of reflection on ideology and praxis is unlikely because these folks are too obsessed with the schemes at hand and too lazy to seriously consider how much damage they are doing to their own agenda.
