I knew that my comment about ‘opposition disarray’ would be a little painful for you, ‘Maazi’! The ‘opposition’ must really be ‘in a fix’ over all this: the Bahati Bill is a real ‘tar baby’ for them – support it, and they can wave goodbye to ‘western good will’; oppose it, and Bahati (and the NRM generally?) will use that against them.

Perhaps are they simply ‘thrashing around’, not sure what to do?

Meaningless comment ! # Pardon the harsh tone #

Was the Bill ever really ‘shelved’? I pretty certain so (I have my very strong reasons for thinking this, but cannot go into details), but it certainly ISN’T shelved now.

I think cabinet minister Adolf .K. Mwesige has been repeatedly shelving, unshelving and re-shelving his copy of the Bahati Bill. So you are right that the bill has been “shelved”, but I think you need to qualify who is doing the shelving….

Ugandan political opposition’s disarray over the Bill could be a factor here (those of us who have ‘done our homework’ know well that some leading opposition politicians are aroused by Bahati’s proposals while others are appalled by them – though the ‘aroused’ ones make more noise, of course)

I am sorry to say that you scored an “F” in your submitted homework. In case, you are wondering, “F” means you failed woefully. Go and do the homework again and return it for re-marking.

…. while those who engage in the kind of (consensual) heterosexual shenanigans for which places like Uganda are famous get off ‘scott free’. That’s discrimination, pure and simple.

Thats your opinion. I could argue—from an African point of view— that the criminalization of polygamy across the Northern Hemisphere is a great affront to “human rights” of polygamists such as dissident Mormons in Utah under siege everywhere from FBI agents. I could argue that Holocaust Denial Laws in European nations (which I personally support) criminalize freedom of speech. In Uganda, gayism is abominable and the sex crime laws will eventually be updated to tackle new challenges brought on by Euro-American Gay Propagandists who now have Africa in their sights.
