Some Ugandans just can’t get the impact of hate speech on LGBT people. When Bahati & Co. portray us as rich people (read 50m dollars sent to us from the West to promote homosexuality), what do you expect? Of course robbers are gonna kill us all. Now, don’t get me wrong, i strongly believe David’s murder was a hate crime. If the guy we suspect to have killed him wanted to steal from him, he would have done it a long time ago. David used to travel all the time. There is not a single time that he told me somebody had robbed him. I’m angry but stronger because our friend has not died in vain.

Chamber’s statement is very clear, and shows an encouraging ‘direction of travel’ for his organisation.

I hope that Schmierer will, at the very least, reconsider what he has said, and offer a more suitable comment on the matter of this disgusting crime.

Violence Erupts at Kato Funeral

A local pastor attending Friday’s funeral for murdered Ugandan LGBT activist David Kato grabbed the microphone in the middle of the ceremony and decried homosexuality, causing a fight to break out and leading villagers to refuse to bury the body.

I would add that noone (gay or straight) whom I know in UG is the slightest bit taken in by Muhame’s, Ssempa’s and Bahitler’s propaganda

Only the elimination of all conservative Christians will allow all Americans to be free and the world to no longer have to live in fear of the U.S.A.’s imperialist, terrorist holy war. The conservative ideology has never helped mankind in any way, it has not only never helped mankind in anyway, it has oppressed, murdered, raped and killed all those in it’s way to gain power. History shows us this. Fact shows us this. James Madison, the “Father of the U.S. Constitution”, along with many founders of this country, regardless of their religious or non-religious affiliations, knew keeping politics and religion separate not only preserves each, but helps them flourish: “The number, the industry, and the morality of the Priesthood and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the Church and the State.”
