Francis: Have you personally read the entire bill?

And are you aware that boys and girls are currently protected from the crimes you mentioned under your law via the Penal Code Amendment Act?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Uganda&#039;s Anti- Homosexuality Bill has been misinterpreted. This Bill is about aggravated acts against minors i.e. below 18 years. You people don&#039;t know what is taking place in our country. Homosexuals are taking advantage of poverty and financial needs of minors and exploiting them against their will. This is the main core of the Bill. Cases and testimonies of forced acts of homosexuality  on innocent children have been rampant and we as parents and God fearing people cannot allow this to continue.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I wonder what might prompt a child to ask such a question?  Why would a child think that it &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; be crimianlized?   



Why would the child express any confusion that it is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; illegal -- that is, unless the parent or someone else had told the child that it should be?  Why would the child think that the parent should have tried to make it or keep it illegal? 



I would try to explain that that one&#039;s &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;religion&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;law&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; may not always be the same thing.  If the child was old enough to get it, I  would then tell her how very lucky she was to live in a country like that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To Paulo:&lt;blockquote&gt;I can not afford struggling to answer my children in future when asked ” dad where were you when when homosexuality was being legalized?”&lt;/blockquote&gt;There really should not be a struggle in answering that question.  I would tell my child that I was there, reaching out to people who needed to know that God loved them.  I would tell my child that I was trying to be truly Christian:



Christian:  Manifesting the qualities or spirit of Jesus; Christlike.   



I would want to tell my Child that I was trying to &lt;em&gt;treat people like Jesus did.&lt;/em&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot; dad where were you when when homosexuality was being legalized?&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Yeah, and where was Jesus when they stopped stoning adulterers? Oh, I think  he was on her side and thereby forbade the parctice. Good on him!]]></description>
