“Bollocks !!! You chaps dream of taking the world by storm…”

I have lived in America far longer than you, and am very familar with the LGBTI movements, and I can say unequivocably that you are utterly wrong. The LGBTI movements seek social and legal equality, not power. On the contrary, it is their opponents who seek to preserve their power to oppress LGBTIs. You are blinded by your homophobia and racism.

Further, he appears to be someone who takes delight in baiting us. His inane, repititious sloganeering seems meant to provoke an angry response

I will be most delighted if you people did not try to jam our email accounts with unsolicited rubbish. I will be happier if you chaps mind your own country and do not bother us. I am not writing to draw angry responses. I am merely stating our position here in Uganda

Whoever he is, he is completely irrational. I have tried to engage him in a reasonable discussion

The problem is that you want to convert me to your way of thinking. I do not wish to be converted. I am merely here to state our own views in Uganda not to be tutoured by you about the finer side of sodomy.

M7 did well in that BBC interview (to be expected – he’s a very smart chap), except on the bit about the Bill … where his ‘position’ appeared somewhat ‘fidgety’.

It’s possible, I suppose, but unlikely that a UG MP is staying up all night to post on this blog. It’s a great blog, but…

Have you ever checked the schedule of MPs in Uganda? After checking that schedule then check if there are no MPs that do late night work. Until you have done this research refrain from talking rubbish !!

In Uganda, the human rights activists that ‘Maazi’ and others wish to hit are not even asking for ‘legal equality’. They have not demanded the right to ‘marry’ – merely the right to live in peace, free from violence and unjust discrimination under the criminal law. Nor do they seek to silence or repress those who disagree with them. Those of us who have chosen to give these activists our support have no wish to harm any Ugandans (hence, among other things, the very careful and nuanced position that many of us take on the matter of foreign aid).

(*Obviously, there will be small minority in any ‘movement’ that will want power over others, but, almost without exception, LGBT rights activists are essentially ‘defensive’ in their modus operandi, whereas Bahati and his American chums [and financial backers?] are ‘offensive’ and seek to do material harm to their opponents.)
