					<description><![CDATA[I simply can&#039;t stand all this &#039;vicious politeness&#039; and the hypocrisy that drives it.  I have nothing but utter contempt for the behaviour of people like &#039;Maazi NCO MP&#039;.



Fortunately, I know many decent Ugandans, and, in any case, am totally opposed to making generalizations about countries and/or groups of persons on account of insincere, supercilious, arrogant, mean and violence-loving individuals.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So it looks like the death penalty isn&#039;t out of the bill at all. It&#039;s just hidden under a reference to the penalty for &quot;aggravated defilement&quot; which carries, you guessed it, the death penalty.



So let&#039;s work this out.



If you are convicted twice of throwing a party for gays to meet gays, then you are a &quot;serial offender&quot; because you&#039;ve been convicted twice of a listed &quot;related offence&quot; (i.e., &quot;promotion of homosexuality).



Serial offenders are subject to the penalty for &quot;aggravated defilement,&quot; and that penalty is death, according to Section 129.



There you go: they don&#039;t even have to prove you&#039;ve had gay sex, and they can still sentence you to death!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This New Vision suggests that the Government is &#039;caving in&#039; to the bahatistas: http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/628876-bill-to-outlaw-homosexuality-in-uganda-re-tabled.html



I think it&#039;s now up to international community to act decisively to deal with this problem.  It&#039;s really sad ... including for me personally, as I have many Ugandan friends and really hate the idea of Uganda &#039;taking a hit&#039;.  But appeasement only makes a problem worse ...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;The Monitor report has the MPs shouting something a little different (Our bill, our kids) but the same enthusiasm for jailing and hanging gays remains.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



This just gay propaganda all over again. Nobody in Parliament has any interest in getting anyone killed. Our interest is to ensure that promotion of gayism is quelled in our country and that no foreign country exercise veto power over our parliament. If we cannot influence lawmaking in US Congress, there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why US government and its European lapdog countries should have that right in Uganda. It really that simple !!!]]></description>

At least &#039;we know where we are now&#039; (maybe!).  There was quite a bit of dissembling and sophistry around before (whether from Museveni or Maaziveni!).  Sometimes it&#039;s easier to respond to something when it&#039;s out in the open.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Actually, the BBC coverage UNDERSTATES the wanton savagery of the Bill. That&#039;s my &#039;issue&#039; with it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Oh, you are sad because BBC propaganda failed to match the gay propaganda spewed by Euro-American Gay Lobby.There is no savagery in the Bahati Bill and there will be more amendments as I have said before. 



As you report your latest findings to Her Majesty&#039;s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, please remember to pass them the following message I wrote earlier. Let me re-paste it below:



&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;One last thing&#8230;.Uganda is not Kenya. We wont play docile to foreign interests especially on a social matter that touches on the very essence of who we are .&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/i&gt;



Good Morning (or Is it Good night  where you are ?)]]></description>

There are many gay Ugandans, but most keep quiet about it ... largely because of people like you.
