I’m in favour of the death penalty for anyone who deliberately corrupts children by showing them pornography.

And I think the majority of Ugandans think likewise.

Once the new Anti-Homosexuality Bill is in force, anyone who committed such a crime in the past involving homosexual pornography will be liable to jail. If they did it on two occasions, they will be liable to be hanged, and a good thing too.

I’m told a parliamentarian did this, deliberately showed homosexual pornography, even in church, even to children! And we have proof, many eye-winesses and photos. The sooner he’s executed, the better.

OK, I gave in to my baser instincts. I’m not actually in favour of capital punishment except in very exceptional circumstances, and this doesn’t even begin to qualify. I lied, bluntly.

But if the law is made to commence from the time the bill was announced… allowed by the Westminster system without it being considered retrospective legislation… then yes, he may be hoist on his own petard.

While we may recommend varying punishments on those who undertake statutory rape (aggravated defilement/homosexuality) of minors and the handicapped, we all agree that homosexuality is a global problem like HIV/AIDS and swine flu which needs emergency legislative efforts.

It’s astonishing how he talks about all these things in one breath, as though they are the same. His arguments are very facile.

[We] recommend that Gideon and his gangsters be treated as imperialistic agents of Sodomy who should be sent to Kyankwanzi cadre school and taught a lesson Patriotism! For God and my country…

…just creepy. The concurrent strains of patriotism and anti-colonialism in this are disturbing.
