This is clearly a hate campaign filled with jealous of those ahead of them, Really are hate crime’ agitators worthy of anyones ear? I wonder whether these people preach in church! Let Sempa gain extra-terestrial powers and find out about his older son, i hope he wont disown him.

Personally, I think that Maazi’s comments fulfill an important function – apart from their comedy value. He states openly what many so-called leaders here say in a more roundabout manner.

I think your problem is that you think the world revolves round the United States and so, you keep projecting what your hypocritical rightwing politicians say unto the Ugandan people. My viewpoint on gayism is not extreme in the slightest. I do not call for anyone to be killed, but for punishment to fit the (sex) crime. Most Ugandans share that same view.

Richard – I agree it is tasteless and cowardly to assert such positions under cover, but it is how I have arranged things and up until recently it has served the effort well.

I am in a dilemma of sorts. Some in the community here want Maazi NCO banned because he consistently makes claims which are either provably false or without evidence. His views on homosexuality are pre-scientific and his attitudes toward gay people frightening. However, they are a window into the thinking of many of his fellows and as such a starting point for us to understand how many Ugandans of faith and no faith see sexuality. And for that reason and others, others in the community do not want to see him (and others proclaiming similar views) banned.

I want to assure my readers that I am committed to opposition of criminalization of homosexuality and that there is no sense in my mind that we are arguing equivalent views. Understanding the extreme biases demonstrated by some of the commenters is an important means it seems to me to a better end.

Warren,

You can do whatever you like. This is your blog after all. Westerners are shameless hypocrites—always quick to denounce others for not intolerance while they are themselves intolerant. Always quick to demand democracy in one nation where they have no vested interests while turning blind eye or propping dictatorships in other nations where they have vested interest in energy, economy, etc.

No matter what happens thereafter, I am satisfied that I have done my best to represent the views of the overwhelming majority of the Ugandan people. We shall not be intimidated into adopting deviant sexual culture from your western nations. Richard, you will wait for your entire life span and never get to witness gay pride march in Uganda. Neither would you ever come here for exotic same-sex marriage ceremonies or gay adoption events. In Uganda, we are not interested in debating whether we should continue criminalization or decriminalization of gayism. We are only debating the scope and scale of punishment that is appropriate for that particular deviant sexual behaviour—- hence the condemnation of extreme tactics employed by Red Pepper and co and extreme provisions of the original Bahati Bill.

And No!!— I will not provide you with a name. It is not because I am afraid. I am not at all, since my express my views openly over here. However, I do not wish gay propagandists such as yourself to twist and twist and twist my identity. I do not wish to read the Western newspapers and see euro-american gay lobbyists lie that Pastor Rick Warren is my Godfather and that I am the public relations officer of so-called powerful christian group, The Family (or is it the Addams Family?)

Why should people say that Rick Warren is your godfather?

it seems clear to me that people like Muhame and Male INTEND to incite hatred … which would probably make them criminals here in Britain under ‘hate crime’ laws enacted in 2008.

Well in Uganda, our own laws will make gay sex advocates like yourself a criminal. Fair point !!
