[Ed] Ugandans Demand It: Anti-Gay Law

Arcade22 · 12th November 2012, 12:42 PM

Quote:

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Uganda's anti-gay bill will be passed before the end of 2012 despite international criticism of the draft legislation, the speaker of the country's parliament said Monday, insisting it is what most Ugandans want.

Speaker Rebecca Kadaga told The Associated Press that the bill, which originally mandated death for some gay acts, will become law this year.

Ugandans "are demanding it," she said, reiterating a promise she made before a meeting on Friday of anti-gay activists who spoke of "the serious threat" posed by homosexuals to Uganda's children. Some Christian clerics at the meeting in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, asked the speaker to pass the law as "a Christmas gift."

"Speaker, we cannot sit back while such (a) destructive phenomenon is taking place in our nation," the activists said in a petition. "We therefore, as responsible citizens, feel duty-bound to bring this matter to your attention as the leader of Parliament ... so that lawmakers can do something to quickly address the deteriorating situation in our nation."

Its a sad day for Ugandan whopper enthusiasts. Though, let us hope that the gays refrain from bonking each-other and recruiting children into their sex dens, lest they and their shaftmastes taste Ugandan justice.

I expect more refugees from Uganda.

Refugees with dress sense and a knack for decorating.

This is unintentionally hilarious, part of the campaign against homosexuality in Uganda

Jesus.... I may have to reconsider my whole stance on homosexuality now.

What sickens me is that the US Evangelical movement is absolutely responsible & should be held accountable, for selling its peculiar brand of hate & faith to foreign governments. Dissatisfied with ruining lives in the US, they go into vulnerable markets and influence politicians.

Something truly horrific should befall Rick Warren.

This is the exact reason I no longer give to or shop at Salvation Army stores.

Is the SA in bed with the evangelical right in the US?

Here they just give soup to homeless people.

The number of institutions in bed with the evangelical right is staggering. I sometimes wonder where they got all the money.

I'm no Latin expert (or even minimally conversant) but the way I've always heard/seen it translated is "The voice of the people is the voice of God."

IIRC, there have been incidents of the SA refusing aid because the people requesting it were referred by a gay friendly church. Gonna go look for a link to that.

If I remember correctly they also directly sponsor missionaries who pushed for the death penalty for homosexuality in several African and Asian countries.

They will destroy toys donated if they're 'evil' which includes all Harry Potter toys and books.

There was a lot more I found out but can't remember off the top of my head. The big one was policy on gay people in the US and especially abroad.

Didn't find the specific article I remember, but here's a nice little round up:

From the link:

Quote:

Officially, the group claims that its services "are available to all who qualify, without regard to sexual orientation." But Salvationarmyusa.org—in a section titled "homosexuality"—says that church services are restricted to those "who accept and abide by the Salvation Army's doctrine and discipline." And that discipline, apparently, doesn't allow for gay people to have partners and families.

In other words, you can be gay or lesbian as long as you don't act upon it. How very Christian of them.

I'm never dropping another red cent into another red kettle.

I didn't see anything in there about pushing for the death penalty in Africa or destroying "evil" toys.

IMST · 15th November 2012, 09:50 AM

Evil toys:

Death penalty for gays may have been a singular asshat, rather than a policy:

Thanks! I'll be passing these along. I hope Craibe and Harmer (really, you can't make that up) get caught Haggarding each other in a Turkish bathhouse.

Keep up the homosexual Satan wasping!
