		<description>I think Jim is right in opening the door to letting feminist theory explain this appalling persecution of gay, bisexual, and lesbians in Uganda.

This tabloid&#039;s obsession with homosexuality is a blatant form of gender policing for purposes of maintaining male supremacy in the country.  Uganda is a patriachal society with divided gender roles and where women have fewer rights and opportunities for economic independence than men.

Men and women who have sex with members of the same sex subvert this man-on-top gender hierarchy and are, therefore, going to be targets for persecution. At their core, many (all?) LGBT issues are also gender issues.</description>

		<description>Right, but you know they&#039;d find a way to blame Teh Gay and if the Onion/Rolling Stone/Whatever aren&#039;t up and running again within the week, some other tabloid that&#039;s not fit to be used for toilet paper will pick up the slack.

snark/ Of course, maybe Money Shot Martin could invest some of his declining funds in a security company? That way the For-Profit Prophet could get back some of his lost revenue, I mean, if they really believe all this BS about homosexual generals...that shouldn&#039;t be too tough of a job, should it? How tough can they be? /snark</description>

		<description>@ BlackDog

Hmmm, so Al Shabaab bombs the &quot;Onion&quot; or &quot;Rolling Stone&quot; in return for being called a bunch of fags, and as a result those two &quot;newspapers&quot; are unable to continue their vendetta. I see little (if anything) for us to lose from this, and quite a lot to gain. All we have to do is sit back and wait.</description>

		<description>Amazing that this is happening in Africa and yet manages to reek of very American attitudes of anti-intellectualism besides homophobia AND John Birch Society-esque sensationalism.

The sheer paranoia and stupidity of it all really does resemble the Anti-communist craziness of the 50&#039;s. Why doesn&#039;t it register that gay people are a minority everywhere and persecuted in a lot of places? Yet they claim there&#039;s a virtually all-powerful gay conspiracy? One of these things is NOT like the other.

More to the point isn&#039;t it kind of stupid to slap the Al Shabaab bull on the nose like that? Most likely if THEY find out their bombing is being said to be the work of gays, they will think the Ugandans are calling *Them* gay. Of course then if the &quot;Onion&quot; or the &quot;Rolling Stone&quot; gets blown up by Al Shabaab, then they&#039;ll try to lie about who did it again I&#039;m sure.

I don&#039;t see this madness ending well.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Another article purports to describe a hitherto unknown sexual technique called “kunyaz” or “Western Jazz,” which purportedly can bring a woman to orgasm within three to five minutes, a time frame undoubtedly chosen to set insecure straight men’s minds at ease.&lt;/i&gt;

Shouldn&#039;t that be &lt;i&gt;&quot;insecure and &lt;b&gt;naive&lt;/b&gt; straight men&quot;&lt;/i&gt;? Even I know that it&#039;s not how fast you get a woman to orgasm that&#039;s important in giving her a good time, but how long you keep her there, and that requires rather more skill.

Of course, many straight men seem to be threatened by any concept of sexuality even slightly different from their own, so perhaps that explains their naivete - and the millions (if not billions) of women consigned to a life of mediocre (if they&#039;re lucky) sex.</description>

		<description>Astonishing, isn&#039;t it.  With the very real twin threats of the LRA, and Al-Aqqaba on their doorstep, they would prefer to focus their time and money on this rubbish.  Worse:  that Uganda seemingly has no media laws or Commission to control such a ludicrous, dangerous waste of time.

Still:  the more absurd it gets, the more the average Ugandan will realise how nonsensical it all is.  Hopefully.</description>

		<description>Unbelievable, am wondering whether this is going anywhere. Being a Ugandan, Gay and have been part of policy making and change, there is a bigger posibility of changing the situation but again, am so scared for the first about this article.
 
The time i have worked with government and faced different tragedy, i learnt one thing about our administration, anything to do with security is highly considered.</description>

		<description>I SEE, I think I got-it..Has Scott Deadly Lively been doing a little Gay-Nazi repackaging and peddling it as fact to keep the Ugandan warped sex-minds, and many are, on their heterosexual twinkled/pickled toes?  Is alcoholism running rampant in Holy Kampala?</description>

		<description>Why can&#039;t these tabloids come up with original names!?!

Awww! That is just too bad for Pastor &quot;Eat-da-poo-poo!&quot;  Gay Ugandans are about to be written out of the country&#039;s constitution and he&#039;s bitter about receiving less foreign aid? Tough sh#t, a-hole!</description>
