As far as US evangelicals are concerned, Warren is leading the way, I think.

Many Ugandans who oppose Bahati’s ‘Murder-the-gays’ Bill tend to keep quiet because they are afraid to speak up. I don’t blame them for that. We can speak on their behalf.

I’ve got African ‘liberal (a.k.a. “inclusive”) evangelical’ friends here in London who are campaigning hard for the human rights of LGBT people.

There’s a lot going on, one way or another. In a strange way, Bahati (and his crackpot US backers like Scott Lively) have done a good job in bringing this issue into sharp focus.

Question for you:-

IF gay orientation IS innate (and there are suggestions that it might be) to a person, how can you justify comparing your gay compatriots to fraudsters who, for example, deny that the Holocaust ever happened?

Obviously this is an ‘open-and-shut’ case: Muhame breached the UG Constitution (re. privacy), and made unsubstantiated allegations of ‘recruitment’. Representatives of foreign legations in UG are watching to see if the judge actually applies UG law in this case and thus rules against Muhame. They think he will, but we can take nothing for granted until it’s over.
