Cant u find anything serious to discuss about?

Why should a whole parliament of a country like Uganda waste time on this?

Corruption is harming millions of us, social strife is still around, no democracy, poverty is everywhere…gay people are supposed to be left alone. If they harm themselves, u are not invited to feel pain on their behalf!

Sick homophobics like Sempa, Muhame, Male, and company have nothing to give them a name. If I were related to any of them, I’d disown them, what a shame!!!! grow up-big kids with empty heads!

I agree … and this is a comment I keep hearing from Ugandans, too.

The Catholic Church in UG has considerably upset the current regime by talking about matters such as the Electoral Commission, the need for free and fair elections, the freedom of the press, and the need for a truly civilian government; it has said little about homosexuality (and described the Bahati Bill as ‘not necessary’ and ‘at odds with the core values of the Christian faith’).

The UG Minister of Information, Masiko, was so annoyed that, back in July, she called the Catholic bishops ‘lesbians’ – which raised a laugh!!! (I still laugh when I think about it.)

Sincerely, sitting in a parliament and discussing about gaysex is equal to a village meeting held in the forest by pygimies!!

Sweetza,

It seems you are quite racist against the ethnic Twa people. Anyways, never mind. Gayism is a crime in Uganda and while, I will never lend support to nonsensical tabloids like Red Pepper and Rolling Stone, I staunchly support the criminalization of deviant sexual behaviour. Most Ugandans do as well. Gay militancy will never succeed because our people are not prepared to accept such nonsense behaviour. The sooner you get it into your head the better. Perhaps, Richard Willmer can contact the UK Foreign Office to offer you and your friends free passage to their country.

One more thing: you seem to like making making veiled threats and accusations.

Wouldn’t it be less cowardly on your part if you were to do so using your real name?

Isn’t that the point? To divert attention away from what your government doesn’t want talked about? That’s how gay hysteria is used here in the US.

And this ‘until my last breathe I will not leave any stone unturned……if i dont live to see Liberation am just glad to be part of the foundation’

Okay, perhaps there may be some merit to Muhame’s allegations that “Homo Generals” are leading a “Gay Liberation Force”. Unless of course, Paul Canning is just spouting nonsensical propaganda to talk up militants whose activism is floundering inside Uganda.

No civilised human being can regard this as acceptable. It is totally UNacceptable, and it is the duty of all right-thinking people to oppose such treatment by all possible peaceful means.

Richard Willmer,

There are several Africans that will argue that no civilized human being can deem the criminalization of consenting polygamists as acceptable. When I lived in Europe, it was common to hear many people there describe Americans as barbarians for strongly supporting their government’s hard-line stance on the use of death penalty. Of course, Americans see things differently from the Europeans. My point is that culture is relative thing. Unlike many Western liberals, Africans do not regard gayism as civilized behaviour. In fact, most see it as a dehumanizing behaviour. World-wide, gayism has been deemed unacceptable by huge sections of humanity across 76 nations that criminalize it and in many of the 116 nations where it is a dejure legal activity, but is nevertheless overwhelmingly rejected by society . Excluding Western Europe, in many of these 116 nations where gayism is dejure legal activity, there are legal restrictions placed on gay lifestyle via constitutional bans on gay marriage and other restrictive anti-gay laws that focus on military service, child adoption rights, blood donation, etc.
