		<description>So what happens to those who are not repentant?

Oh, yeah -- that would be where those &#039;remedial measures against this evil that has crept into our society and which under no circumstance can be approved and should not be allowed in our society&#039; would come in.

They sound like they are trading off the death penalty for a deeper campaign of persecution. The penalty is lower, but many more will be victims.

And did anyone think to ask any of the individuals on this team from mensa how many of their fellow travellers are going to end up in the fires of hell along with all these homosexuals???

(Let me guess a reply: &quot;All of them, except for me.&quot;)

There are religious people like Desmond Tutu, and then there are the rest. I know who I&#039;d prefer to spend eternity with.</description>

		<description>Archbishop Lwanga is denouncing “the introduction of the death penalty and imprisonment for homosexual acts”, and  maintaining the Catholic Church’s condemnation of homosexual acts. 

The Archbishop condemned the bill, saying it “targets people, rather than seeking to counsel and reach out in compassion to those who need conversion, repentance, support and hope.”

That is all well and good, as they say, but it seems to me that the Vatican should correct the Ugandan Archbishop for neglecting to pontificate that homosexuals are &quot;inherently evil&quot; and consequently beyond redemption. And the RCC hierarchy has yet to show authentic signs of compassion towards gay Catholics.

Still, within the framework of religion, this statement has effectively put Bahati and  Ssempa out on a limb...by themselves...alone...unsupported.

Humpty Dumpty is about to have a great fall.

Finally, Rev Desmond Tutu has hit the nail squarely on the head by reminding us that the scientific community has discovered the wide range of legitimate sexual identities in the human race, (according to &#039;god&#039;s&#039; will).

Enlightenment will prevail in Uganda; perverted religious nutters will follow Scott Lively into oblivion...the sooner, the better.</description>

		<description>It seems to me that ex-gay therapy may be the end result of this bill. Essentially, Exodus International becomes official policy.

Thanks for the update. Good to see you in San Diego.</description>

		<description>Well, it certainly is a very contradictory statment for/against the bill.</description>

		<description>I can see it is a long way from being a declaration of complete tolerance, but if it keeps gay folk in Uganda alive and out of jail, it is a start.  Personally I think anything is better than capital, but that is just me.</description>

		<description>As far as I&#039;m concerned this is no type of denunciation of the bill at all. In my opinion it&#039;s simply an attempt to save face in light of the international condemnations. But to those in Uganda it means little more than &quot;We condemn them bill (wink wink nudge nudge, not really)&quot;.

I don&#039;t think it really amounts to anything other than to say get rid of the death penalty and press for coerced &quot;reparative therapy&quot;.</description>
