I tend to doubt that it is an attack of conscience. If they thought they could get away with it, they would be advocating the same in this country, USA. Their change of heart is more seeing public and government reaction that any conscience. Why are these conservative groups doing a sudden about face?

However, in that statement: <blockquote>“I know of no one involved in Uganda with the Fellowship here in America, including the most conservative among them, that supports such things as killing homosexuals or draconian reporting requirements, much less has gone over to Uganda to push such positions.”</blockquote> It should be noted that those who may support the criminalization of homosexuality could and probably do exist in the Family/Fellowship.

Meanwhile, in a separate kitchen, sift and sprinkle a flurry of favors and money, gently stoke the egos and quietly line the pockets of leading politicians, including the president. Voilà, presto! Your takeover and rape of a nation’s untapped oil and gas reserves via an Italian oil giant goes unnoticed. Everyone is happy. The corrupt president and his henchmen have diverted attention; the oil executives get their prize; the Church gets a new toy – a brand new witch hunt; the public gets schtupped. It’s a great day!

Where were these people 6 years ago when the Supreme Court was dragging Texas kicking and screaming into not arresting gays? Why did they suddenly despise the idea of imprisoning homosexuals the moment it became impossible for them to do it in America?
