The various strands of Uganda's anti-gay movement — social conservatism, religious fervor and elements of America's culture wars — came together at a meeting at the country's largest university last month. On the agenda was the country's controversial Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which, as currently proposed, would impose the death penalty on "aggravated homosexuality" — that is, an HIV-positive man caught having sex with another man.
First on the podium was David Bahati, the young parliamentarian who sponsored the bill. He received a warm reception from the audience of a few hundred people, many of them students. "They say that, if you are a homosexual, you are more likely to contract AIDS," Bahati said, to applause and laughter. "If you are a homo, you can reduce your lifespan by close to 20 years!" Bahati is a member of The Family, the fundamentalist Washington D.C. group that has been criticized for allegedly sending influential U.S. Senators and Representatives overseas to promote anti-gay and anti-abortion policies, according to Jeff Sharlett, a journalist who wrote a book on The Family. (See the U.S struggle for gay rights.)
Bahati was followed at the podium by Pastor Stephen Langa, who made a Powerpoint presentation on "The Gay Agenda," a homosexual plot to take over the world. The presentation included pictures of gay pride parades and graphics that purported to show how past civilizations had declined because of the deterioration of traditional marriage. In March, Langa's Family Life Network held a three day conference on homosexuality taught by anti-gay activists Scott Lively, Don Schmierer, and Caleb Lee Brundidge, all three men prominent in the anti-gay movement in the U.S. Lively is the author of The Pink Swastika, a book that alleges links between Nazism and what he calls a gay agenda to take over the world. Schmierer is counselor with Exodus International, a U.S.-based ministry that seeks to use Christianity to overcome homosexual behavior. Brundidge is a therapist with the International Healing Foundation which also claims to be able to turn gay people straight
Dubious faith based anti condom agendas are now sending new HIV infections upwards. The USA-Bush Aids agenda was just that. It has allowed the anti gay agenda and bogus gay "Cure" snake oil salesman such as Richard Cohen who wrote the ridiculous "Coming Out Straight". The unanimously debunked American quack and fake therapist: Richard Cohen wrote about gay people as being a choice and also connected to all child molestations which in of it's self is False. Most child abusers are heterosexual.
Of course any book endorsed by Douche Bag Extraordinaire: "Dr." Laura Schlessinger whose Jewess ass would have been fried next to every homosexual in Aushwitz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp
Scott Lively another American right wingnut freak is also another anti-gay, anti tolerance freak. These Americans are all starting a fire and misleading Ugandans
Rachel Maddow read Richard Cohen to filth about how his bogus "therapy" gives him blood on his hands, the blood of gay people and their allies in Uganda which is now a Christian Fundamentalist Dictatorship and a case where being gay is a death sentence. Send Richard Cohen a free plane ticket to Uganda and ask him now to reiterate what he told Rachel Maddow. Chances are being a pussy and just a in reality: A Self Loathing Closeted and repressed gay himself
who shot a couple of loads and now had 3 children "Whoopty-Fuck'n-Do! so this means he's straight now! Hahahaha!
Below are links dealing with this shameful, inhumane and horrendous issue.
