Uganda to reinstate death penalty for Homosexuality

[Jean-Paul Sartre]

No comments here about race; it isn't just blacks that call for genocide of homosexuals, it's just that the west has largely moved on from it.

Which is why Evangelicals travelled to Africa to agitate and lobby in favor of killing LGBTs. But let's pretend it was entirely an African idea.

It takes a receptive culture. We have those crazies here too; in fact, they live here.

This is saddening but hardly surprising. It’s Uganda after all. I don’t think we can do much but perhaps alert some human rights organizations to see if they can do something.

“Homosexuality is not natural to Ugandans, but there has been a massive recruitment by gay people in schools, and especially among the youth, where they are promoting the falsehood that people are born like that,” Ethics and Integrity Minister Simon Lokodo told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

Damn, I must have missed the meeting in high school where the gay recruiter showed up and started recruiting us to become homosexuals, because apparently that also happens in Uganda and I imagine American schools are on the forefront of education in this regard. I'm thinking a guy that looked like R. Lee Ermey wearing a rainbow-colored campaign cover showed up at Kampala High and gave them a major dressing down making the students gay.

Yet another reason Western civilization is superior to African cultures.

said western civilization was the one who both introduced the (rarely-enforced) statutes governing the treatment of lgbts, back when nearly all of africa was still a de jure western plaything

said western civilization also had the temerity to send in garbage evangelicals who then schooled africans on the evils of lgbts

all roads point to the west, but not in the way you think

Reminds me of when Caitlyn Jenner recruited me for being trans. Happened around the same time I got my first paycheck for being a Soros crisis actor.

A government motivated by evangelical christianity. They are pretty open on why they want to kill da gayz: it is because Jesus wants them to.

I can assure you Jesus wants nothing of the sort.

I agree with this post, as Christians, we need to show others our love towards other people. We're not supposed to create hate or wish death upon a certain group, sadly there will always be that one group who takes it too far.

Western evangelicals are largely kept in check by the Western tradition of the rule of law.

Western civilization did the same thing.

Western civilization did the same thing.

80 years ago, yeah.

[Geneviev]

Western civilization did the same thing.

80 years ago, yeah.

There are people who still want that. It doesn't make anyone superior.

There are, and society keeps them in check.

so you're saying there are no laws or the notion of the rule of law in uganda, just because ugandans favor their laws to put lgbts to death for being lgbt?

I never got paid for Sandy Hoax, what the hell? I played dead for three hours and even bought fake blood...Soros is as fake as Obama's birth certificate.

I just want to note here that Evangelical covers a really wide and ill defined umbrella group of Protestant Christians. There are a lot of people who would fall under that umbrella that would not agitate for this kind of thing.

I mean, this is a term that covers people like Billy Graham on one end, and the Westboro Baptists on the other.

I'm saying that there's things like due process in the US, and constitutional standards, and that Uganda does not. I am not saying it has no laws, to the contrary, I am saying that it is a culture that largely produces unjust laws.

Well aware of that! Just using the term that this thread was already using. I'll switch to "fundie" if that's more apt.

Not really. They still have those opinions. The only difference is that those people are making laws in Uganda.

Yeah, Fundamentalist is probably the more correct term for people that would agitate for this kind of thing.

so, antisemites and antisemites?

Fundies are in government here, and we yet don't have those laws. The institutional foundations of the west are much stronger.

Nice racism you've got there.

No comments here about race; it isn't just blacks that call for genocide of homosexuals, it's just that the west has largely moved on from it.

A. A decent chunk of the West has not
B. Yeah, uh, this hatred of homosexuals in a lot of the world comes from Western Christian culture and influences

[Munkcestrian Republic]

I mean it's nice that some people are pointing out the American influence behind this but it's also very disappointing that some people are trying to defend it.

neither due process nor constitutional standards preclude shit from hitting any number of fans
the united states being a pertinent example right this moment

uganda for all its following a trend of favoring dictatorial strongmen over democratic processes does do things legally, by conventions first set up by its one-time colonial overlords

...Who's defending it?

A. No one's doing that
B. This is England's fault, they're the ones who owned Uganda (America only had 1 African colony, and that was on the West Coast)
