New Ugandan university publication keeps up war on gays

Tabloids fighting the war on gays is a growth industry in Uganda. I am aware of the Red Pepper, Rolling Stone and the Onion. Now comes a Makerere University publication called the Campus Nail. Published by the same printing house that printed the Rolling Stone (Blue Magic Inc), the Campus Nail has another so-called expose of recruitment on the Makerere University campus. With a big picture of Martin Ssempa and the headline “Homosexuals Recruit 1000 Makerere Students,” the full page article follows the same type of writing found in the Rolling Stone. Click the image to read the article. Thanks to Thomas Muyunga for the image.

 When you click the image, you will read about alleged efforts of a person called “Timothy” to recruit unnamed students into homosexuality.

According to this story, gays are mad and so are getting back by recruiting and sending graduates into the high schools to recruit some more. 

The article quotes “a doctor in Colorado USA” that says that homosexuality is more dangerous than smoking. Paul Cameron’s name is not used but his “studies” are cited to demonstrate that homosexuality cuts 24 years off one’s life. Recently, David Bahati told Canadian radio a similar statistic. I guess we know where the Ugandans are getting their information.

Martin Ssempa, thought by some observers to be mellowing, makes an appearance and gets his anti-gay on in a big way, saying that “The war has just started.” Ssempa, a member of the Oral Roberts University Board of Reference, is representing the university in Uganda as a “renowned anti-gay pastor.” Perhaps that could be listed under his name on the ORU website.

    If you are going to cite things to support your views, you (and not GUg) should provide the evidence.

    Are you going to answer my other question?

  2. At least the Red Pepper article accurately characterises the Bahati Bill, instead of trying to say that it is about ‘protecting children’, etc..

  3. When you click the image, you will read about alleged efforts of a person called “Timothy” to recruit unnamed students into homosexuality.

    I guess they caught me

  4. Are you actually going to show us these UNESCO / WHO leaflets that you claim constitute so-called ‘recruitment’?

    Did I ever mention WHO or UNESCO in association with leaflet distribution? I think you are little confused. Our local militant gay sex practitioners are the ones who peddled leaflets encouraging young persons allegedly “confused with their sexuality” get in touch with them. A UN agency in Uganda distributed sex education booklets— that featured gayism prominently and positively— in our schools without government approval. The subsequent outrage expressed by concerned parents forced the government to expel that country boss of the UN agency. BTW, if you want a sample of the leaflet, I am sure GayUganda can be of help.

  5. Red Pepper claims the that Richard Muhenda (Muhinda?) is big in the gay community of England. If so, he should be easily Google-able. But all I get are people in Museveni’s government.

    You get more hits Googling “Maazi NCO” and gay OR homosexual.

    Must be a stealthy gay….?

    Sorry to press you, but I’m going to ask my questions again, as I am really interested to hear your views (and see your ‘evidence’ – assuming, of course, it exists).

    Here are my questions again:-

    1. Are you actually going to show us these UNESCO / WHO leaflets that you claim constitute so-called ‘recruitment’?

    2. You claim repeatedly that a revised Bill will be passed. What will be its key features, do you think (you seem very well-informed)? Which of the current clauses (19 at present, I recall) are likely to be dropped? Which will be retained unaltered? Which will be changed?

    (Obviously I understand, from our previous discussions, that we both agree on the following points:-

    i. There are already laws protecting underage persons, both boys and girls, from sexual abuse;

    ii. Homosexuality is, and will remain, a ‘fact of life’ in Uganda;

    iii. The recent rise in HIV transmissions in UG is primarily due to marital unfaithfulness.)

  7. I guess they caught me

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,ha, ha. If you are lucky the “journalists” will feature you in their next publication as the main “Homo Field Marshal” leading GayUganda’s “Homo Generals” in the war up in the North and perhaps declare you the chief liaison officer to Al-Shaabab terrorists in Mogadishu.

  8. Ha ha ha…

    we have some enduring fascination for Ugandans. Maybe it is our being so fabulous!

    Do you know that Makerere is the campus where Pastor Martin Ssempa’s Makerere Community church is based? No wonder that his seed has grown, for he has tended that garden for a long while.
