Uganda considers death sentence for gay sex in bill before parliament
www.guardian.co.uk (Beware the leftist spin) ^ | Sunday 29 November 2009 | Xan Rice

Posted on 11/29/2009 4:03:22 PM PST by USALiberty

As a gay Ugandan, Frank Mugisha has endured insults from strangers, hate messages on his phone, police harassment and being outed in a tabloid as one of the country's "top homos". That may soon seem like the good old days.

Life imprisonment is the minimum punishment for anyone convicted of having gay sex, under an anti-homosexuality bill currently before Uganda's parliament. If the accused person is HIV positive or a serial offender, or a "person of authority" over the other partner, or if the "victim" is under 18, a conviction will result in the death penalty.

Members of the public are obliged to report any homosexual activity to police with 24 hours or risk up to three years in jail – a scenario that human rights campaigners say will result in a witchhunt.Ugandans breaking the new law abroad will be subject to extradition requests.

I have my problems with the act(and agenda), but I am not prepared to go Muslim on them.

“If the accused person is HIV positive” President Obama wil allow him to legally immigrate to America.

Seems a reasonable action.

Unfortunately Uganda has more problems that their homosexual population.

I agree. I rate homosexuality as a perversion, an unnatural act, and a practice that is detrimental to any society, but I dont believe people should be executed for it. And this proviso that people who refuse to inform on them be subject to imprisonment is frankly very frightening.

“As a gay Ugandan, Frank Mugisha has endured insults from strangers...”

I couldn’t get past this lead.

How did “strangers” know he was a gay man?

And if he didn’t like the insults, why didn’t he do something so that “strangers” would have no idea what his “preference” is?

I don’t know the answers to these questions, because I’m not going to read beyond such an absurd lead, because it is a continuation of the PC brainwashing. We are supposed to assume that the homosexuals’ sexuality is a state/condition known to all, even strangers, but never noticed or acknowledged, and that it should receive no undue attention, other than being celebrated.

That is how schizophrenic the anti-establishment radicals are making society.

As Wikipedia admits, Uganda “is one of the rare AIDS success stories.”

The largest religious group in the country is Roman Catholics, followed by Anglicans and other Protestants. About 12% are Muslim.

Success in reducing AIDS basically depends on sexual abstinence. Condom distribution is a sure-fire method for spreading AIDS. There was a similar statistical history in the Phillipines, also mostly a Catholic country.

Send a copy of this to Justice Breyer and his ilk for future reference whenever he can't find justification for his own views in the US Constitution.

Might as well send along a copy of the Shari'a and Hadith, too.

Gay rights had the potential to destroy civilisation, as the west could soon find out, he said.

Our nation is pretty keen on self-destructive behaviors, that's for sure. Just ask General George "Diversity" Casey.

Truth is, I don't have a problem with the penalties associated with perversion in their country. Diversity, dude, that's what is important these days. I got the memo. I'm just waiting for the inevitable bashing these guys will get from all of the liberal "human rights" groups who would similarly be righteously outraged if a real American as much as voiced approval of such a policy. You know, the way they always attack the Saudis and the Iranians and pretty much everybody associated with Islam for such savage and uncivilized behavior.

I call him General Crazy.

The gay militants in the US must have their panties in a twist over this but can’t vent like they want to—just like the femtards. Blacks and /or Muslims do what they do and the gays/feminists who run their mouths 24/7 about “patriarchal”this and “homophobic”that keep their pieholes shut for once.

As Ann Coulter says about Muslims:”Finally religious fundamentalists that the left are OK with”

BWAHAHAHA!

As Wikipedia admits, Uganda “is one of the rare AIDS success stories.”

Actually, the hysteria about Ugandan AIDS was unfounded. The "success" was that, there was no pandemic in the first place. I lived in Africa back then. The joke was, "If you're Ugandan and die in a car wreck, they count you as an AIDS victim".

For a generation there were horror stories about unfortunate nations that would be wiped out by AIDS. One year Thailand. Next Russia. India, etc. Guess what. It never happened.

Uganda is an African country, so this legislation will draw only annoyed tsk tsks from US Democrat queers.

Agreed...it is not governments responsibility to control what consenting adults do in the privacy of their home.....

But if they want to mainstream or publicly demonstrate their perversion, or involve minors...then all bets are off....

Reducing promiscuous gay anal sex and/or intravenous drug use reduces the occurence of AIDS.

Statistically speaking, Heterosexual abstinence has very little to do with it.

Of course. It's how you get US tax dollars dumped on you.

AIDS was the big hoax the socialists used for scamming US tax dollars before they dreamed up "global warming". Follow the money. With the scumbag Democrats and the rest of the global socialists, it's ALWAYS about the money - - American taxpayers' money.

Many undernourished people who eventually die are chalked up as AIDS victims...their immune systems failed, so they must have had AIDS!

As far as international scams go, AIDS is right up there with global warming.

Some of the most violently anti-homosexual sentiment anywhere in the world can be found in the upper reaches of various African governments.

There was one dude from some African country a few years ago (it may have been Kenya) who actively tried to eliminate laws against homosexual behavior.

His alternative was to "go back to the way things used to be, and let their families kill them with spears."

No joke.

When gays practice abstinence ocurrences of AIDS decline.

Statistically speaking, AIDS is not a heterosexual disease.

I understand that if EVERYONE practiced abstinence AIDS would be reduced/eliminated, but I wanted to be clear about the homosexual origination and propigation of the disease.

With the HIV rate 50 (Fifty) times higher amongst homosexual men then any other group, homosexuals are already doing a pretty good job of imposing their own death sentence.

Bring back (and enforce) sodomy laws.

This is an echo of the Nazi laws to root out, murder, and then loot the Jews. Same means, different place, different target. Many “good” Christians also applauded that. It was so quaint.

Breathing oxygen isn’t genocidal. Nor is it cheering on a genocide and mocking the victims of the crime. Nor is it some “good” Christian trying to justify mass murder by hiding behind a Bible. It’s just breathing.
