(Maybe ‘Maazi’ feels that Bahati has gone ‘off script’, and is annoyed with him? And I have this image of ‘Maazi’ as a caged bird squawking ‘gay propaganda, gay propaganda, gay propaganda’!)

Here’s some more on Bahati’s chagrin:-

‘ As for Mr. Bahati, orphaned at the age of 3 and until recently a relatively unknown politician, the past several years have been a roller-coaster-ride of emotions, from obscurity to fame and infamy. The American news media, he said, have shredded his reputation.

‘ “They really worked out on the word ‘death,’ ” he said, referring to coverage of the bill’s death penalty provision. “We used to have friends in America, but most of them are now scared even to identify with us.”

‘ It was in the United States, Mr. Bahati contended, that he first became close with a group of influential social conservatives, including politicians, known as The Fellowship, which would later become a base of inspiration and technical support for the anti-homosexuality bill.

‘ Mr. Bahati said the idea for the bill first sprang from a conversation with members of The Fellowship in 2008, because it was “too late” in America to propose such legislation. Now, he said, he feels abandoned.

‘ “In Africa we value friendship,” Mr. Bahati said. “But the West is different.” ‘

Of course, by ‘friendship’, Bahati means ‘keep supporting me, even when I’m being evil’. As for his ‘reputation’, Bahati himself was the prime ‘shedder’ – he was greedy and stupid, and is now paying the price.

If the Bill falls, we will be pleased for those whom the Bill is designed to persecute, and for Uganda generally. If it goes through, the fact of its passage will be used to provide fresh impetus to the campaign against homophobia and for human rights.

The effects of the Bill will be – indeed are being – felt primarily by you.

So you say I’m lying. Prove it! (I’ve always provided evidence when I’ve said that you’ve been ‘economical with the truth’. But I know that ‘providing evidence’ is not YOUR strong point!)

What is there to prove?? It is obvious to sane people that the Bahati Bill has nothing to do with your imaginary White supremacists. The Bahati Bill is a “made-in-Uganda” product and now the indestructible property of a proud parliament.
