Maazi – I had not heard this before and so I made sure I understood her correctly. If she is wrong, then the AHB is probably done.

I “strongly doubt” that your prognosis for the bill is ENTIRELY correct, but then there is always a “one-in-a-thousand chances” that I could be wrong. Anyways, tomorrow is gonna be a long day. I hope you are ready to report our internal affairs in real time from the United States (without the benefit of a broadcasting satellite or better still— an CIA or NSA-owned spy satellite). 😀

My UG friends in London seem very embarrassed and/or worried at the moment, and I feel for them.
Passing the Bahitlerite laws will only make things worse.

Ugandan politics is a very complex business.
Still nothing in the UG press. Can’t understand that, if it is the case that the renewed activity on the Bill is meant to divert the attention of Ugandans from the real problems they currently face.

I am certain of it. I am in a kind of hurry. Will comment later.

Is this an All-Or-Nothing case, i.e. either all the unfinished bills have to be passed on to the next parliament or none of them can be passed on? Or can individual bills be voted to be passed on?

The Anti-Homosexuality BIll appears last in this order paper:

Is these your ideas of ‘real good’?

etc.
What then would be ‘real bad’?
You’re just being a sick, homophobic joker now, dear!

And, yes, I accept that, in the end, it’s your country – and if you want to make it worse, that’s your problem. However, as I have said, there is the issue of the international effects of the Bahitler Bill passing, and, if it were to pass, regrettable steps may have to be taken by way of addressing those.

Stop mixing up civil and gay issues. Civil unrest in Uganda is none of your business. I will not discuss this matter with you or any bloody foreigner !! I will only discuss it with fellow Ugandans. Keep your nose out of it !!!

You’re just being a sick, homophobic joker now, dear!

You think that I care about words like “homophobia” which you chaps in the West invented to legitimize a disgraceful and inhuman behaviour. You can call me names, but in Uganda we are in-charge. This is not the UK. Over here and in most of Africa, buzz words such “homophobia”, “transphobia”, “(gay) marriage equality” and “sexual minorities” are meaningless.
