					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;No huge news here, just been thinking about why the Las Vegas press has not written one word about the connection of Canyon Ridge Christian Church to the international story of Uganda&#039;s Anti-Homosexuality Bill.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Because Las Vegas press have better things to do than poking their nose into the internal affairs of a foreign nation. It is really a no brainer



&lt;blockquote&gt;In any event, the foreign press continue to be intrigued by the varying responses of Las Vegas evangelicals to the Ugandan bill, even if Las Vegas news organizations are not.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Who cares? BBC and CNN International covered the run-up to the 2005 constitutional amendment banning  &quot;same-sex marriage&quot; in Uganda. They covered condemnatory statements from  western NGOs such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. They also covered the anger and dismay expressed by EU nations. But in the end, &quot;same-sex marriage&quot; was banned in perpetuity once parliament approved the constitutional amendment. Foreign media can cover the Bahati Bill as much as they like, but I strongly doubt that this will make a huge difference. At the right time, the revised Bill will re-emerge and become law.



&lt;blockquote&gt;Today, I was contacted by a Finnish writer and yesterday alerted that the BBC is investigating the matter yet again and may be in touch. Most American and many European news organizations have covered the story extensively&lt;/blockquote&gt;



This goes to show how obsessed Westerners are with gayism. Since the late 1980s, a war have been raging in the Northern part of Uganda, but  MOST westerners have little or no interest in this tragedy which has consumed hundreds of lives.  But when Uganda announced a measure to combat  foreign-controlled gay militants, all manners of ignoramuses from Europe and America who didn&#039;t even know that Uganda existed on map start expressing fake outrage. There must be something about gayism that drives Westerners nuts. Many people died during the Burundian civil war and no one in the West gave a damn----except the French who were busy supplying arms to keep the war going.  But when peacetime Burundi wanted  to outlaw an emerging militant strain of gay advocacy directed remotely by foreign NGOs, Westerners suddenly picked interest in the tiny African state and made all manners of condescending comments and threats. Western donor aid blackmailers, who refused wade in to stop the French from fuelling the civil war with arm supplies, suddenly intervened to threaten aid cuts because a depraved sexual behaviour was about to be banned. The Burundians called their bluff and criminalized gayism promptly.]]></description>
