Ssempa is a politician. Lying and shading the truth. He has always done exactly that.

Dont really know why, since it is so easy to point at the bill and say, no, that is a lie.

Great interview. I was gladdened to hear you read this statement from Exodus and I thank them for it:

“Exodus International opposes this legislation as we believe that the Christian Church must be a safe, compassionate place for those who are confused and conflicted by their sexuality. Such legislation would inhibit church and ministry leader’s ability to assist hurting individuals struggling with this issue.”

During the interview, Ssempa was arguing that this bill was needed to establish equal penalties for molestors of “the boy child” since there were already protections for girls.

He didn’t seem to understand (or want to admit) that this bill goes WAY beyond that. If child abuse is the main problem, why not just enact and enforce tougher penalties for that?
