Typical of this country. Does any one remember Idi Amin and ‘his’ genocide.

Harm already done, only if bill is withdrawn in its entirety, otherwise even criminalizing promotion leaves people at stake!that will cause mass killings: Health and policing society!

Bahati = the Banality of Evil posterchild.

Bahati’s intentions were obvious from the moment he submitted the bill. The “serial offenders” clause basically makes any sexually active gay person a target for death, and the rest of the bill reads like the Nuremberg Laws.

Does anyone believe that countries like Germany care about gay people more than they care about (opposing) the death penalty?

Undoubtedly, it was the death penalty that got everyone’s attention. But I think it’s worth pointing out that Germany decriminalized homosexuality in 1968 (West) and 1969 (East). Germany today has Registered Partnerships for LGBT residents, roughly on par with what is available in France, but not quite at the same level as Civil Partnerships in the U.K.

Frightening.

No one offered me an ipod or cellphone to be gay. This bloodthirsty fool has too much power. I wonder if he personally would like to serve as the sole executioner of convicted gays.

Killing, life in prison, it’s all the same to me. I’d prefer to be killed outright than spend my entire life in some squalid Ugandan prison.

I wonder how much of the opposition to this bill is based solely on the fact that it prescribes the death penalty for gay people. “Giving life in prison, well it’s their culture, but the death penalty, well, that’s going a bit too far.” Does anyone believe that countries like Germany care about gay people more than they care about (opposing) the death penalty?

I really do hope that the EU and State Department put a self professed advocate of genocide on the list denied entry into the EU and the US. Bahati could potentially kill far more people than bin Laden.
