Ghastly homophobic Ugandan law supported by US fundie group

submitted by Almanildo

1 decade 4 years 5 months ago

Uganda is about to pass a horrible law that would have them imprison homosexuals for life and execute them if they are HIV-positive. It also includes a three-year prison sentence for anyone who fails to report within 24 hours if they know someone is engaging in homosexuality.

The US political grouping "The Family" is probably supporting the law. See here for more details on the law and here for details on the alleged link with The Family.

I should have known Maddow would cover this. Thanks.

Interesting... A situation where one could compare one's opponent to Hitler, and they aren't being a snide internet troll, they are right.

"Homophobic" just doesn't cover it here; "hate-o-phile" gets closer.

this is not that far for even the 'western world'
it wasn't that long ago when gay people were forcibly castrated
alan turing was only officially apologised for this year - and that's for one of the most important people of the allied war effort
england overturned 'sodomy laws' in 1967, while some US states still had them in full effect until 2003

That's true of course, which is why it is important to continue the fight for gay rights. It still is quite long ago since we executed people for being gay.
