It's outrageous! Don't they have problems with diseases like HIV, poverty and famine? Seems to me that those issues would take precedence over homosexuality... Thanks to BTB for staying on the story until mainstream news media starts to take notice! :) You’d think that the Ugandans would have better things to worry about than gay Ugandans.
