You seem to have difficulty understanding who is attacking whom. If your “most sensitive and amazingly caring” great-uncle were not seeking to harm my life, I wouldn’t have anything to say about him at all.

And please be honest. Don’t act as though “all your uncle has been saying” is about marriage. You have eyes. You can read. He also thinks that our country – which does not imprison or execute gay people – has lost its way. Unlike Uganda, where gay people are regularly beaten and murdered.

I have not twisted his words. I put them right here on the page so everyone can see them for themselves.

The problem, Carissa, is that you are in conflict. You wish to be support policies that are cruel, but you don’t want to think of yourself as a cruel person. You seek to impose your religious views on the state, but you don’t want to think of yourself as oppressive.

But that’s the downside of being cruel and oppressive. Yes, you may get your way for a while… but good and decent people start to consider you a bully and hateful and a bad person.

It’s your choice, Carissa. You can either behave in a loving and Christlike manner – treating gay people how you want to be treated and treating gay relationships how you want your relationships to be treated – or you can continue to support the execution of gay people in Uganda and wonder why the world think you are a monster.

In your desire to excuse evil, you distorted the facts.

To connect a pastor who was 2 weeks in the bushes in Uganda and who sends out a newspaper article to his buddies to the bill which the article praises is no stretch at all.

Were it not for their intervention in a politically volatile country, a lot of innocent people might not be under such a huge threat to their lives. What we really need here in the US is a publican condemnation and investigation into their actions.
