					<description><![CDATA[What I said was: &quot;Based on what happened in May 2011 ...&quot;



Remember what happened: after it had been &#039;trailed&#039; that the &#039;quick death&#039; (i.e. hanging) provision was to be dropped, the Report suggested keeping it, but changing the wording in what I suspect was a pathetic attempt to fool others.



If &#039;Maazi&#039; has new info (and Warren and I both know that he has), he can share it with us, so that we can see if anything has genuinely been changed this time round.



But one worrying aspect is this: Kadaga, who is unmarried, does seem very keen on the Bahati Bill (it was she who &#039;chaired&#039; the initial session, in what seemed to be a rather &#039;stimulated&#039; manner, back in 2009).  Hmmm.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It may be a bitter pill for Europeans and Americans to swallow but everything Maazi says is true. What&#039;s more, it&#039;s how 99.9999% of Africa feels.



There seems to be an ongoing mass campaign by the west to make Africa acultural. Homosexuality (and it&#039;s acceptance) is, simply put, the most unAfrican that could ever be demanded of Africa.



Listen, our leaders are so very greedy, and yet not even the threat of cutting off aid could ever make them legalise homosexuality. There&#039;s no question of religion involved. And even if there was, love your neighbour (as prescribed by religion) is not synonymous with legalise their wrongs. 



Uganda currently has homosexuals, obviously, but no one is hunting them down unless they go out of their way to make raucous. Just like they did when they claimed years back that a gay man that had been killed by thugs (just like so many other unfortunate heterosexuals) was killed because he was gay. Which was never the case. But gay rights activists eagerly clutched at the opportunity to milk it for their cause, without a moments thought to the victim&#039;s poor family, who most certainly did not as for or want their home and their son&#039;s funeral to be so disgraced. I&#039;m certain they considered the activists&#039; intrusion a blight on their old age and the respect the community had towards them.



Please let Africa be. If your governments cannot help out the poor of Africa without asking that we lose our cultural values in return, then let them keep your taxes, to help you in your efforts to get homosexuality legalised in other parts of your western world, and to help you invent a cure for Aids, which afflicts you too and happens not to have it&#039;s origins in Africa.



Had your forefathers not chosen colonialism as fun activity, none of us would be thus inconvenienced. Africa has never asked for anyone to come knocking at her doors, invade her, and start inculcating her people into foreign cultures. In the Africa of old, everyone looked out for their neighbour, orphans were taken care of by the entire village, there was no need to go begging, no need for aid.



Enter the white man, and Africa is so westernised people have grown the &#039;everyone for himself and God for us all&#039; mentality&#039;. People have developed the western world&#039;s nuclear family mindset and everyone now looks out for themselves and their own. Orphans suffer, the homeless suffer, all thanks to this aculturalisation of Africa. Pretty soon there will probably be nursing homes where people dump their parents and grandparents as is the norm in the west.



All the industrialisation and carelessness in the west is what has brought on global warming, and now just like the name says, it&#039;s affecting the whole globe. And still, Europeans and Americans come to steal more of our oil, diamonds, gold, with the help of our corrupt leaders. Well, this time there&#039;s an end to it, your money won&#039;t make them sell their values. Why, because they simply cannot fathom the idea that their child should come one day and declare I&#039;m gay. In Africa, it&#039;s unnatural. In your world homosexuality is natural, more power to you.



Gay activists visit schools and start enticing unassuming children with money under the guise of human rights advocacy. Why the need to recruit, then? For strength in numbers? How many heterosexuals are spending money to recruit children into heterosexuality? That question does not even make sense because it&#039;s counterpart is simply mind-boggling. Why would one get &#039;NGO&#039; funds from Europe or America, and take them to Africa to use them to recruit school children into homosexuality? There are people going hungry and homeless in Europe and America too, that money could be better used to help them. Take a stroll along your streets, look at those &#039;bums&#039; on your subways. Are you saying they are less in need than Africans? it does&#039;t even snow here, a night out wouldn&#039;t give anyone frostbite. Charity should begin at home, after all. There are issues closer to your homes you could concern yourselves with. Do so.



Let&#039;s see the west go and try to convince muslim Asia to legalise homosexuality. Or is that Africa is deemed weaker and hence the easier target?



Believe it or not, your governments don&#039;t come to Africa simply out of charity. They want stuff in return. Usually we &#039;let&#039; them have it.  The only reason your leaders demand homosexuality of Africa is so you&#039;ll think them grand and vote them into office. Nothing else.



Let Africa be, see if it&#039;ll remain in the dumps forever.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt; From what I have read, though hardly exhaustively, there is little in pre-colonial African culture to substantiate the current homophobia in many of its countries.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



What you have read are fairy tales written by pro-gay Western authors about mythical pre-colonial gay-loving Africans. We have never tolerated gayism. Yes, the deviant behaviour was probably there hidden away in pre-colonial times, but it was never tolerated.



&lt;blockquote&gt;The influence of the colonisers, their laws and their introduced religions seem far more relevant to it...... [Africa] seems to be determined to hold on to some of its worst legacies!&lt;/blockquote&gt;



This is just standard propaganda we have come to expect from Euro-American Gay Lobby and their dummy  African agents. Christianity frowns at polygamy, but it is widely practiced throughout Christianized parts of Africa. Gayism has always been reviled and the missionaries merely reinforced African revulsion towards gayism. Polygamy survived opprobrium from missionaries because it is an integral part of African culture. Gayism has never being part of our culture and we shall never accept it.



&lt;blockquote&gt;I firmly believe that the day is dawning, even in Africa and even in organised religion &#8211; including my own beloved misguided Catholic Church &#8211; when we will look back on our attitude to gay people the way we currently look back on slavery, wondering how our forebears could have gotten it so cruelly wrong. &lt;/blockquote&gt;



Gayism is simply a sexual deviation nothing more. Gay sex practitioners are not a distinct ethnic or racial group that need protection or respect. These are people who have a compulsive self-destructive habit  just like kleptomaniacs, bestialists  and necrophiliacs and they need help. There would never be a time when African people will look back and compare gayism with slavery. This will never happen because we never compare apples and biscuits neither do we compare sexual deviance to racism or ethnic-based oppression



&lt;blockquote&gt; Current thinking on gayism, as you call it, in Uganda serves your country so terribly badly: in terms of your handling of the AIDS epidemic &lt;/blockquote&gt;



Actually we are handling it right. Gayism is the most efficient way of spreading HIV/AIDS and introducing all manners of strange antibiotic resistant diseases. That is why many Western nations ban gay sex practitioners from contributing their risky blood to Hospital Blood Banks. The Ugandan strategy is to suppress and contain gayism properly among its isolated diehard practitioners and prevent any attempt to increase the number of sodomy practitioners through gay propaganda.



&lt;blockquote&gt; Maazi, in Nigerian Igbo culture, is the title of a nobleman: I challenge you, sir, to find a more constructive way of living up to it!&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Wow !!! Maazi is the title of a nobleman in Nigeria? If your statement is factual then that is wonderful !!  But I am sure that no African nobleman anywhere in the continent will support gayism]]></description>
