(Strange though it might seem, I would consider myself to be being remiss if I were not to challenge the ‘God-complex’ apparently demonstrated by those who claim to ‘do God’s work’ as they propose violent and hateful measures against innocent people. I would even suggest that I owe it to them to do so, as I am convinced that such measures are not in accordance with ‘Christian truth’.)

The Monitor mentions Bahati today, but perhaps in a rather less flattering light!

The monitor as a newspaper had nothing to say. Only well-known pro-gay columnist Charles Onyango-Obbo had something say. He is entitled to his opinion and Bahati is entitled to his. Of course, that is until— the legal code is updated to respond to fresh challenges from forces external to Uganda.

Credit where credit is due, ‘Maazi’: at least you don’t use ‘God’ to try to justify your desire to persecute your gay compatriots.
(When is comes to ‘external challenges’, it should of course be understood that UG could face considerable ‘external challenges’ if laws breaching her international treaty obligations are enacted …)

You’re obviously on the Govt. payroll, ‘Maazi’, given what you’ve said about the Monitor!

Whoops! Should have that NJB was referring to bestiality (one of those old old favourite topics of the professional homophobe) in his statement above.

@ StraightGrandmother :
I suspect that Bahati is on a political junket, but he’s got all carried away by what probably started put as some cheap political opportunism. Mind you, for people like us, he and Buturo provide wonderful opportunities for sharp, effective and productive propaganda against homophobia. They have, often by their own words and bizarre behaviour, given us some good ‘traction’ on this important human rights issue.

If Bahati and his henchmen were to be allowed to get away with their ‘legalized’ programme of slaughter and/or repression, other African countries might play ‘copy-cat’, with widespread and highly undesirable results.

Very, very typical. The African is always depicted as a savage ! Countries will make their own decisions regardless of what we do here in Uganda. Malawi expanded its anti-gay law without any encouragement from MP David Bahati. So I have no idea what you talking about. All this talk about mindless copy-cating is just a racial stereotype which has merely reinforced my determination to work harder with like-minded Ugandans to get the legal code updated.
