Kampala (AFP) - Thousands of Ugandans led by President Yoweri Museveni held a rally Monday celebrating tough new anti-gay laws, praising the bill despite international criticism and donor aid cuts.

"Thank you for saving the future of Uganda," read signs held by the demonstrators, who marched through the streets of the capital Kampala.

Last month, Museveni signed a bill that calls for "repeat homosexuals" to be jailed for life and requires people to report homosexuals.

US Secretary of State John Kerry likened the new law to anti-Semitic legislation in Nazi Germany and warned it could damage ties with Washington.

Other demonstrators, who sang a song called "bye-bye homosexuality", appealed directly to US President Barack Obama.

"Obama, we want trade, not homosexuality," one sign read.

Obama has been almost as influential in Africa as he's been everywhere else.

The Africans are wise to do the exact opposite of what Bozo is commanding. Clearly, Obama thinks he’s the Kaiser of the earth, and can order people to do whatever he wants. No dice, commie.

And he can hold up a picture showing the ‘rally’ (except that it is a picture of a Nuremberg rally from 1936). Would Lurch really be stupid enough to do that? Of course he would.

I wouldn't be surprised if Putin agreed to replace all of the lost aid dollars, if for no other reason than to flip the bird at Obama and the EU again...
