We gays have no intention of recuriting children and no one has ever come out with such an agenda this is all being done to with the intention to make us look like devils in the eyes of Ugandans to spoil our names we are against such people
some of us have had problems from our own parents because of being homosexuals which i think ‘s unfair people do not want to leave us free to do what we want to do like other Ugandans .Let us try to kill this bill

Claims made by some that the death penalty was removed during the Eighth Parliament were also untrue, of course. This attempted trickery did not ‘play well’ in certain important circles – put people more ‘on guard’, actually.

Aha! Just spotted a factual error in something ‘Maazi’ has said. He said, “Gayism is a sex crime.”
Consensual same-sex activity is not currently a ‘sex crime’ under UG law; certain activities** are deemed ‘offences against nature’ (the same is in fact true is of the same ‘certain activities’ with regard to heterosexual couples). The UG police made this point a few weeks ago.
For such activity to be classified a ‘sex crime’, a change in the law would be required.
** The main ‘activity’ in question is the one that dear little WUg kept getting so extremely excited about.

I take it you admit that the statement I quoted is false, ‘Maazi’. If it is not, perhaps you would care to explain further. The statement is very clear and definite, the ‘context’ to which you refer notwithstanding. Try as you might, my dear, you can’t wriggle out of that one. I suspect that only your homophobic allies would agree that I am deceiving myself, and maybe even they are ‘raising an eyebrow’ or two.
By the way, as far as I know, neither the EU nor the US has told UG to pass laws saying that ‘gayism is great and wonderful’. If they have done so, perhaps you’d like to produce evidence for this. (Mind you, producing evidence for things is not exactly your strongest point; we’ve still seen nothing from you on the subject of so-called ‘recruitment’.)
Anyway, shall we look at Clause 13 of the current Bahati Bill? What are your thoughts on that?
