Some conservative activists in this country spoke out in favor of the law, or said that Americans should be silent on the issue and let Ugandans decide without U.S. interference.

Really? Besides anonymous internet posters, who would be in the first category? I smell strawmen.

In the second category, there are some who are rabid anti-interventionists. Many of them are libertarians and would support, for example, gay marriage in the US.

At first I thought it was about a prof asserting that murderers who happened to be gay shouldn't be executed. Then I got confused when I saw it was Grove City.

That's not the only strawman. As I recall the Ugandan death penalty was not for someone having gay sex. It was for knowingly transmitting aids and gay pederasty.
