(And things that ‘Maazi NCO MP’ have said do accord with the general thesis in the article. Interestingly, ‘the West’ is not exactly given ‘a round of applause’ either!)

He’s on record saying that this is what he really wants and, in its current form, this is what the Bill is designed to deliver. No amount of wriggling by Museveni, Maaziveni, Opolot or anyone else can disguise this.

And anteros is quite correct about arrests of gays, e.g.: http://madikazemi.blogspot.com/2011/07/another-arrested-tortured-gay-ugandan.html

Clause 2 of the Bill has nothing to with rape or defilement; Clause 3 mandates death for both consensual and non-consensual sex. We muzungus CAN read … and read the Bill (with and without Tahsobya’s ‘little changes’) we have. We know what the Bill says, even if ‘Maazi’ and BBC are having ‘reading difficulties’. (The BBC has reported that the [quick] death penalty has been removed, having perhaps been fooled by Trashy Tashy’s little ‘play on words’ last May.)
