We’ve talked a lot about the Anti-Homosexuality Bill proposed in Uganda.
Have a look at this YouTube video embedded below. You’ll see that it really is easy to get yourself killed – i.e. executed – in Uganda. You don’t even have to be gay; you don’t have to have ever had gay sex.
The short video explains succinctly but effectively just how you can become a serial offender – without having sex at all. It also defines people in authority as, among others, someone in a religious capacity.
So, without having sex and by easily stacking up “repeat offences”, you can face death at the behest of some twat who believes in sky fairies.
It’s a lot more evil than we were led to believe. And we were led to believe it was pretty damned evil to begin with.
I don’t believe in capital punishment, but I think I’d make an exception in the case of the author of this pernicious Bill, David Bahati MP.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment.
So it appears that Uganda either has great legal scholars, or weak legal scholars.
ReplyDeleteBecause either they didn't think this through, or they thought it through thoroughly.
Knowing that much of the language came from religious nut jobs here in the U.S. I'd say it's the former not the latter.
