Same in Uganda actually. And both human rights activists and the anti-gay brigade are receiving foreign cash, though the controversy over Bahati’s proposed ‘slaughter bill’ has probably led to a significant reduction in the amount of foreign cash the anti-gay brigade is receiving (and an increase in what human rights organizations are being given).
Some former African leaders (e.g. Kenneth Kaunda) are also calling for decriminalization, and even ‘gay marriage’, mainly on public health grounds.

The law in Uganda applies to everyone living inside Uganda. Anyone who engages in deviant sexual behaviour is liable to a jail term upon conviction. Parliament of Uganda will not accept anything less than that.

How does the Parliment of Uganda monitor the sexual activity between two consenting adults in the privacy of they own homes? How do the citizens of Uganda monitor tthe sexual activity of members of the Parliament of Uganda and other government or authoritive officials?

How old are you? Five years? Please say something commensurate with your adult age.

Old enough to have sexual activity without being monitored or sanctioned by a government. Also, old enough to realize people will engage in the very activity they want to kill others for doing, and then lie about it – hence, the video request. Does the request make you uncomfortable?

What’s interesting is the calls for decriminalisation are coming from within Ghana by Ghanaians. This whole debate started because of an inaccurate newspaper report claiming 8000 homosexuals had been registered by an NGO! The anti-brigade started making a lot of noise and human rights activists in Ghana calmly responded. Foreigners are responding to the anti-brigade – the ones that are most reported in the press – and when they do, the antis say outsiders are trying to force homosexuality on the country. They continently “forget” that it is not outsiders but Ghanaians calling for a measured response to this issue. This pretence, that it is a “foreign” thing is disingenuous by those making the claim.

‘Maazi NCO’ often gets rather dismissive of my comments when I get a little too ‘close to the bone’. He has dismissed things I’ve said before … things that have turned out to be not too wide of the mark. (Sometimes I do deliberately ‘fly kites’, as ‘Maazi NCO’s’ [often impetuous] responses to these often provide interesting insights into what is going on re. the Bahati Bill.)
‘Maazi NCO’ himself has in the past implied that, in his view, those who do their stuff in private should be left alone. Whether he was trying to pretend that the Bahati is not as savage and murderous as it actually is (and still is, even after Tashobya’s tinkering), or whether this actually reflects his own view is something he has not made clear when I’ve questioned him directly. He has tended, in response to my questions, to slither away into meaningless generalities about ‘gayism’ (whatever that is) …

Apologies: the word ‘Bill’ should follow ‘Bahati’ in para. 2, line 3 above.

Though I am not in Ghana. Internet reports and conversations with friends inside Ghana suggest that condemnation of gayism is overwhelming with a sprinkling of pro-gay noise from NGOs most of whom are beholden to their western donors.

Same in Uganda actually. And both human rights activists and the anti-gay brigade are receiving foreign cash, though the controversy over Bahati’s proposed ‘slaughter bill’ has probably led to a significant reduction

Why anyone would need cash to oppose a behaviour that is widely viewed as unAfrican, inhuman and insane is frankly beyond me. Only those who are working in concert with the gay imperialists of Europe and America to blackmail African nations to legalize gayism need lots of foreign cash infusions.

Some former African leaders (e.g. Kenneth Kaunda) are also calling for decriminalization, and even ‘gay marriage’, mainly on public health grounds.

Kenneth Kaunda is a flip-flopping clown. Nobody takes him seriously anymore.

But this thread is not about ‘gay marriage’; it is about (un)fairness with regard to penal legislation when it comes to consensual sexual relations.

The strategy of the euro-american gay lobby is to present their case as that of “privacy of the bedroom” in order for gayism to be legalized, thereby granting the lobbyists legal space to agitate for gay marriage, gay adoption rights and gay pride marches. We are not deceived by such strategies

In the spirit of fairness and justice, if certain sexual practices/activitities between two consenting adults is going to be monitored and sanctioned by your government, isn’t it discriminating not to include everyone?

The law in Uganda applies to everyone living inside Uganda. Anyone who engages in deviant sexual behaviour is liable to a jail term upon conviction. Parliament of Uganda will not accept anything less than that.

Better yet, a video of your sexual activity would eliminate the need to lie to us. I want to see the sexual integrity/ethic you…

It seems to be a solitary chief and let’s hope he has little success with his rallying of support. The new catch phrase seems to be “health risk”. Ironic considering their measures will prevent HIV education amongst this community.

‘Maazi NCO’ likes to talk about ‘gayism’ and ‘gay marriage’ and ‘gay pride marches’; but people like Bahati want to string up their fellow citizens – both male and female – simply because they have private sexual relations pursuant to informed consent.
