Cley, Since you have trouble with reading plain and simple English, let me refer you to the entire bill, and compare that with Ssempa's lie that the bill's capital punishment is only for “paedophiles and rapists”. A simple reading shows that it clearly is not, as plainly spelled out here. The bill is so broadly worded that virtually anyone can be put to death, whether they are rapists or pedophiles or not. And as for this:

Plus, you should definitely learn to do more research on Ugandan’s law to realize that until then, Ugandan law Uganda did have laws that addressed heterosexual rape and pedophilia just like in most countries, but didn’t have laws that dealt specifically with homosexual rape and pedophilia.

We have done our research, and Uganda indeed does have laws that already apply to homosexual rape and pedophilia. In fact, Uganda's laws don't mention gender, making those offenses illegal regardless of the gender of the perpetrator and victim. So yes, Ssempa is a liar. Which is why he is being tried in court in Uganda, isn't he?

You say that Ssempa is a liar and that he lies when saying that the bill deals with “paedophiles and rapists.” But when I just read the section of the Bill you posted, from point 1a through 1g, I see that, as Ssempa says, the Bill deals exactly with homosexuals who rape children and handicaps, thus “pedophiles and rapists.” So who is the liar here? You or Ssempa? It seems like you are!

Plus, you should definitely learn to do more research on Ugandan’s law to realize that until then, Ugandan law Uganda did have laws that addressed heterosexual rape and pedophilia just like in most countries, but didn’t have laws that dealt specifically with homosexual rape and pedophilia.

Please be objective and not emotional in you writings before deceiving all your readers who obviously cannot think by themselves to draw a conclusion but take for granted everything that you and the media say.

[...] in the discussion, but declined. Jim Burroway, one of the individuals that declined, had this to say about Ssempa: There is a reason we don’t take the word of liars like Martin Ssempa at face [...]

To everyone at btb, you guys are doing an amazing job. Your integrity in dealing with Martin Ssempa is flawless, and (Jim Burroway in particular), your patience in dealing with Martin Ssempa is simply colossal.

I know there’s more to a complex news story than just one blog keeping a story alive, but given that the media has sourced you on their reporting, I think you guys deserve a lot of credit for keeping this story alive.

Keep up the good work – god knows I wouldn’t be able to.

Oh Ssempa, go on and on. I support you. Iam Ugandan and forever I will be Ugandan.

And your country will forever be poor and drowning in HIV/AIDS if it stays on this path. Enjoy.

Well its two days now, and though Ssempa has posted his own BTB comment on his blog – surprise surprise – he has still not posted the text of the kill the gays bill. Cowardice and guile duly revealed…sadly, it’s not surprise to anyone.

Ssempa, if you’re so proud of what Africans thought 5000 years ago, then go back to animism, since Christianity and the Bible is not something they would have accepted (without force of course).

4) Finally, regarding this:

By the way, he is no politician, no millionaire like the homos in US,Europe, no nothing and yet he is shaking the “big nations” and “big peoples”.

If by that you mean he’s obviously a very influential pastor that’s able to be invited onto various evening talk shows not a ‘politician’ or ‘millionaire’, I suppose that’s technically accurate. But I suppose he’s got the whole shaking thing going on, if by that you mean causing most of the rest of the civilized world to go ‘No, really, are you &*%#!@# kidding?’.

But, hey, feel free to stand by this all the way to the ground, since if there’s any kind of justice, most everyone’ll stop trade relations and aid… not to mention corporate investments.
