World Bank postpones Uganda loan over anti-gay law

The World Bank on Thursday postponed a $90 million loan to Uganda's health system over a law that toughened punishment for gays, an unusual move for an institution that typically avoids wading into politics.

"We have postponed the project for further review to ensure that the development objectives would not be adversely affected by the enactment of this new law," World Bank spokesman David Theis said in an email.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed an anti-gay bill earlier this week that strengthens already strict laws against homosexuals by imposing a life sentence for certain violations and making it a crime to not report anyone who breaks the law.

The World Bank, a poverty-fighting institution based in Washington, usually refrains from getting involved in countries' internal politics or in issues such as gay rights to avoid antagonizing any of its 188 member countries.

One cannot be led out of the bondage of sin who doesn’t want to be led out of it. That’s why the gospel commission is a warning from God and a witness against the world.

Uganda’s “health system” may save more than the $90 mil by locking up queers and keeping them away from the general public.

This happens when bullying is no longer accepted. Yes, there was a time when you punched a faggot in the face and people would say he deserved it. The result kept them quiet and in their closets.

Looks like the beginnings of ‘Ye can neither buy nor sell lest you have the mark of the beast’.

Becoming hard to argue the last days are not right around the corner.

The World Bank is the United States. It doesn’t matter what they say. My opinion of homosexuals hasn’t been affected one bit by all this propaganda. It is still wrong!
