Comments on: Reporters say anti-gay bill has been shelved – Ugandan politicians disagree https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/01/10/reporters-say-anti-gay-bill-has-been-shelved-ugandan-politicians-disagree/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Wed, 12 Jan 2011 01:00:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Richard Willmer https://wthrockmorton.com/2011/01/10/reporters-say-anti-gay-bill-has-been-shelved-ugandan-politicians-disagree/#comment-45620 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 01:00:09 +0000 http://wthrockmorton.com/?p=8337#comment-45620 The situation with the Bill appears somewhat ‘complex’; I too have heard different things from different quarters.

Our very own ‘Maazi NCO’ now talks of a ‘heavily revised’ bill being passed. This idea (or the possibility of something worse) must still be taken very seriously.
