…and, although our focus here has been on the ‘anti-homosexuality bill’, this recent meeting was intended to be the summit of a time of prayer and fasting re a number of issues of concern: political corruption and misappropriation of funds and ‘witchcraft and human sacrifice’ among them. These two issues, not gay in any way, were also a part of the stated agenda for ‘The Call Uganda’.

According to the BBC, Uganda saw a serious rise in human sacrifice in 2009. They had 26 murders that appeared to be ritualistic as opposed to 4 the previous year. The BBC hints that the 26 don’t include other deaths that weren’t reported or went unnoticed or ‘missing persons’ who have yet to be accounted for.

Then why do Ugandans keep bringing them over to support that dastardly bill?

The selective logic is kind of interesting. Gay Ugandans dont exist because homosexuality is a ‘foreign’ import. The bill has no ‘foreign’ input, but Scott Lively and Richard Cohen are heavily quoted in the promotion the Bill, and of course Lou Engel is called over, in part to negate the international Christian revulsion…. and when he fails to deliver to expectation, why, what he says does not matter…

Ugh, just the usual hypocrisy of selective, self serving logic. Very able to see the stick in your eye, but not the log in mine.

What Mr. Engels says (or does not say) is of no consequence.

Then why do Ugandans keep bringing them over to support that dastardly bill? Their opinions are apparently valuable to you when they agree.

Human rights are not something one can give and take in a vacuum — they exist in spite of any laws created to frustrate them. When one nation-state seeks to deprive those rights, we are all affected. If you are looking to be ignored on this, that just isn’t going to happen, nor should it.

Go ahead and couch this garbage under the banner of “protecting the children” if it makes you feel better, but the rest of the world — with no significant exceptions — understands otherwise.

Who cares what American christian fundamentalist has to say. I don’t need any white man to tell me that our penal code on sexual depravity needs to be updated to meet the new challenges that the emergent western-controlled pro-gay advocacy groups in Uganda are presenting. If I were you guys I will concentrate on the body language of the Ugandan masses and the Kampala government rather than on the words of foreigners. What Mr. Engels says (or does not say) is of no consequence.

I was not at that function but my partner was.

He told me that the rally proceeded according to the usual script of the anti-homosexuality rallies which had been ongoing before Engel came to the country. The same speakers, the same rhetoric, the same lies, demonisation and vilification.

Maybe the only thing that he can claim would be that he [Engel] didnt seem to dwell on it, but, certainly, it was more of the same.

And yes, it is true that, soon as he finished his talk [and presumably left for the airport, which was his stated reason], gay bashing and rallying for the Anti-Homosexuality Bill was the only thing on the agenda. Maybe the only thing that was missed was Ssempa showing his porn… But, my partner did leave before the whole rally was concluded!
