the Uganda death law against Homosexuality

Homosexuality has always been illegal in Uganda, but draft legislation introduced by a born-again Christian parliamentarian proposing the death penalty for gay sex, under certain conditions, has upped the ante. Peter,39, is again living in fear.

Anti-gay sentiment is on the rise in many parts of Africa. In a bellwether case, a gay couple face trial for “unnatural practices” in Malawi; in Kenya, police arrested guests at what is claimed to have been a gay wedding last week — supposedly to protect them from an angry mob. “They are proposing a witch-hunt,” said Peter. “That Bill could put me to death, or in prison, in many ways. They want to legislate us out of existence.”

The draft law proposes the death penalty for having gay sex with anyone under 18, if infected with HIV/Aids, or with someone who is disabled — or for being what the Bill terms “a serial offender”. Gay sex between consenting adults would lead to a life sentence.

It also calls for prison sentences for those “promoting homosexuality” — which could be interpreted to mean any human rights groups — and for anyone failing to report a homosexual act to the authorities...

"Orange is their colour, and maybe a trip to Mars? Clearing out the loonies was long overdue, but it’s already happening. Getting the right federal judges in place is a much quicker way to get the wheels turning in favour of the plan."

I don't know about anyone else, but today was the second time that I feel that Valana has reached out to me. She and Val want their work to continue. The mission is not over.

"Obama and the evil gang in the E files in prison garb, or worse? Hope so- meanwhile Pres Trump and the repubs are confirming new federal judges at a record pace, replacing oboma era activist judges."

I know, this is very sad and sickening at the same time. It would seem that people continue to use religious doctrine masking their own judgment, fear, and often times self-loathing is playing itself out. I really can't wait for the day where people own up to their own crap and stop trying to destroy other peoples' lives.
