Uganda's infamous "Kill the Gays" bill was scheduled for a second round of parliamentary debate yesterday, but the process was delayed by a walkout by female legislators, ColorLines reports. Instead it will be debated in a special session on Friday. And its author, David Bahati, predicts that it will become law if voted on.
The nickname "Kill the Gays" isn't an exaggeration of the potential consequences of the legislation's passage. Under it, those who are "repeat offenders" in having sexual intimacy with a person of the same sex will be sentenced to death. Anyone who "aids, abets, counsels or procures another to engage of acts of homosexuality" would face seven years in prison. Even Ugandans who fail to report to the authorities that a person is gay or lesbian will do time.
Ugandan advocates say that the introduction of the bill alone has been associated with a rise in hate crimes and violence against their community. In January, gay human rights activist David Kato was beaten to death. In the fall of 2010, a newspaper published a list of "suspected" gays and lesbians with the headline "Hang Them."

Ew.
This is a direct result of left-wing, militant gay advocacy, over the last 30-odd years. It started in America, and like all viruses, has spread across the planet.
Not every country succumbs to it as easily as we did.
I see nothing wrong here,the perverts brought this on themselves!
