Is there an anti-heterosexual child molester bill….or are sexual offences against children by heterosexuals ok? Why is a child protection bill geared specifically at the LGBT community?
Homosexuality does not equal pedophilia. How ignorant can one person be?

Of course, one’s heart bleeds for poor little Dave Bahati. How monstrously unfair that he is ‘ostracized’/criticized by awful people like me for his proposing genocide back in October 2009. There’s just no justice in the world, is there?

Which version of the Bill, I wonder (there’s a new draft doing the rounds, one hears, though officially the Bill is still as per the original October 2009 draft – complete with hanging, compulsory snooping and bans on freedom of speech)?

It could well be true. I gather that there are plans afoot in some countries to place visa bans on MPs who vote for the Bill (and some of those MPs rather enjoy their little foreign junkets in the ‘wicked West’!), and maybe their ‘close associates’ as well. (Not sure how this would help pro-Bill MPs escape sanctions against them; the like of the CIA or MI6 are hardly going to be fooled by a ‘secret session’, and, in the event of the voting not being properly recorded, the UG Constitution Court would surely have before it an ‘open-and-shut case’ for junking the Bill.)
But a ‘secret session’ might also ‘cut the other way’, as it might help anti-Bill MPs to put their case without worrying so much about misguided elements of public opinion outside parliament.
