Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill

By Gary Roberts, November 26, 2009

Keep your eye on Uganda. There’s something stirring in the halls of parliament over there. Something ugly, evil and hateful and it’s getting ready to uncoil its oily, scaly body and bare its venom-filled fangs at a minority segment of Ugandan society.

The potential passing of a new Anti-Homosexuality Bill which seeks to legislate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people is a serious issue and, for some, a very real threat to their existence. If passed, this bill will put people to death if they enter into a sexual relationship with a member of the same sex.

According to Wambi Michael, a blogger at rabble.ca:

The Ugandan government will put to death gay citizens repeatedly caught having sex and throw into jail those who touch each other in a “gay” way, if a new proposed bill becomes law.

David Bahati, Ndorwa County West minister of parliament, tabled the bill saying Uganda needed comprehensive legislation to prohibit any form of sexual relations between people of the same sex.

The bill, according to Bahati, seeks to plug gaps in the Ugandan constitution, and stipulate that marriage is between a man and a woman only. Other unions will not be recognized. And if same sex couples are married abroad, they face life imprisonment.

Even friends and family of LGBT people won’t be safe from this bill—it will give authorities the power to imprison these people for up to three years if they fail to report that they know a gay person.

The bill would even seek to punish Ugandan citizens who enter into a homosexual relationship while traveling abroad.

Blithely unaware of the irony associated with his job title, Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo says he is happy the bill is causing a lot of debate globally:

It is with joy we see that everyone is interested in what Uganda is doing, and it is an opportunity for Uganda to provide leadership where it matters most. So we are here to see a piece of legislation that will not only define what the country stands for, but actually provide leadership around the world.

Whoa, careful now, people—this slope to the Middle Ages is becoming more and more slippery!


UPDATE: As it turns out, the imprisoning and killing of homosexuals in Uganda was fomented by American evangelical homophobes.

    The Lord THY God says… “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

    “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor *effeminate*, nor abusers of themselves with mankind”

    And what you deranged perverted freaks call “love” (nevermind Uganda, I’m not talking about Uganda) has NOTHING to do with sex and is no excuse to have sex with another of the same sex. You love your mom, your dad, your brothers and sisters too………….but do you go stabbing THEM up the anus as well??? LOL you Godless moronic perverted AIDSmaking fukks.

    I personally love their mentalcase and total retard excuses for their sick lifestyle, like when these fudgepacking pervs try to compare, by talking against normal people wearing clothing made of more than one material, or eating shellfish! …..with their AIDS spreading buggery! LMAO!! One fagg0t on the net even said “jaywalking is also an abomination”. NO lie! HAHAHAHAHA!

    So feel free to comment with your usual dumb mentalcase nonsense, in all your reprobate minds. Perverts.

    Cheers :-D

    Bruce, don’t bother quoting scripture here - it’s as useless and ineffective as praying is to help cure cancer. And I completely understand your not wanting a counter-argument using that very same scripture when you write “by talking against normal people wearing clothing made of more than one material, or eating shellfish”. Use of any ancient, Bronze Age texts as part of one’s intellectual arsenal is, as you say, completely retarded.

    As for the rest of your post; it’s nothing but a homophobic, hate-filled rant fueled by a puerile, fantasy-based belief system. Maybe you should consider moving to Uganda.
