@ James:

Actually, I first found out about Ssempa’s failed conference at the National Theatre from a poster for the Daily Monitor that was outside Standard Chartered’s main branch in Kampala. It read, “Anti-Gay Meeting Flops”. The next day, I read the Monitor’s article about how the meeting flopped when Ssempa began showing porn. The article written by a Ugandan journalist.

You sound so pathetic and racist pointing fingers at white people, blaming them for Ssempa’s mistakes.

The Daily Monitor is a far more reliable source than the New Vision (state-run propaganda, unreliable) and the Red Pepper (homophobic tabloid, unreliable)… which would explain why they avoided reporting on Ssempa’s porn presentation and how the meeting collapsed.

The fact remains, that Ssempa shows gay porn to the unsuspecting public. Here is hard evidence:

Ssempa himself already admitted that he showed porn, and promised to do it again:

You’ll be surprised to learn just how much the “homosexual world” and the “heterosexual world” you describe actually overlap… maybe you’ll learn that when you come back down to earth.

James – Three of the American students gave reasons for their walkout and many in Uganda have criticized Ssempa – including some religioous leaders. Because you like gay porn is no reason to insist that others sit through it.

Your quote of the Red Pepper as an accurate source is reason enough to dismiss you. You are aware I assume that the Red Pepper has said that Benny Hinn’s divorce filing includes revelations of gay sex. I have spoken to people who have seen them and there is nothing like that in them. It appears the Red Pepper has no trouble making up information here.

I say let the light shine.

Oh and please report what the Anti-Homosexuality Bill actually says and not just what Martin Ssempa says about it. If you are interested in light, then why don’t you just print the entire bill in whatever news source you write for?

My name is james. I must admit that Dr. Warren has finally found where he can “rest”. The aging professor who ideologies have never been a welcome to his own students has taken on Ssempa like a lion baying for one’s blood. Warren has based most of his research on hearsay. there has hardly been any accurate information he has published about Dr. Ssempa. For goodness sake, I was in that press conference were Ssempa allegedly showed porn saved on his computer. In that conference, it was only the group of Whites who left the place because either they it was time for them to leave or they were embarrassed with the actions of their fellow whites. The rest of us stayed till the end. Out of the 30 journalist who were there, 6 of them left and the other 24 stayed back. Was that a walk out at all. I think, yes i think Warren is a respected man in the homosexual world. Exporting that influence to the Heterosexual world might be unwelcome. Please give us accurate facts and have an accurate report of what happens in Uganda. You live in America, we in Uganda know and see what happens. How come we in the New Vision, Red Pepper and several other radio stations never saw what Rodney saw?
Support Uganda to walk in the path of morality. Ssempa, Bahati deserve to be supported all the way. Your provocking actions have never gone well with Ugandans. When we pass that bill, the light will finally be on you.

Yes – outside support for the death penalty for gay men and women, there is something very familiar about the anti-gay attitudes Mr. Ssempa spouts

These types of tactics and accusations from Ssempa are really reminiscent of the hysteria over child rape and satanic ritual accusations that tore communities in the US apart in the 1980s.

All true followers of Christ's message should not only be appalled by Ssempa, but they should also make their feelings known. Because extremists Christians, like all fundies, need to be checked by their own denomination as they make all those who claim affiliation look like nutcases. All other dissent will most often will be dismissed out of hand as coming from unbelievers influenced by Satan. Here's another perspective on the Ugandan matter.

Pastor Ssempa is the kind of guy that makes me thankful that I am not a Christian. I know enough about the values of Christ to know that he is not representative of Christians.

But, Ssempa is something out of hell, a true hater that glories in the hate and vile discussion that he produces. He has been doing it for years. He has surpassed himself this year. But, it is nothing new.

But, the most frightening thing about it is that the guy is held in awe by so many, because of the charisma of his speech.

He is charismatic. But, he is the worst Christian that I have ever heard of. Maybe he is no Christian, because it is unbelievable…. but, I am no Christian.

And, Bishop Lawrence Chai of Mombasa Kenya, who is actually leading cleansing pogroms would disagree with me. And, who am I to say otherwise, when two men of God are doing a godly thing like cleansing a people of homosexuality?
