It may be that the reported action against Kisitu is part of the crackdown (announced last year) on NGOs that ‘promote homosexuality’. Then again, it may be that people who fancy the idea of getting their hands on the donations coming in are simply trying to discredit Kisitu. Couldn’t say right now.

Gay networks exist – or, at least, a lot of people are willing to speak about gay networking (as long as they don’t feel it may lead to negative reactions, in which case everything is denied again).Only, gay networks don’t always lobby for gay rights, but for more peculiar interests; so the term “gay lobby” can be misunderstood.

Pastor Kisitu Robert runs an orphanage in Uganda. More information on orphanage may be obtained here. He was arrested under the “Kill the Gays” bill. Since his arrest, donations for the orphanage have dropped. Two days last week, the children were not able to get food.
The cost to feed a child is $2 per day. They have taken in 315 children, which adds up to $630 per day for food alone. Please pray about what you would be able to give to help.

It does look to me as if the UG project is backed by a church that is not at all homophobic. I’ll keep trying to get independent confirmation of the arrest.
(I’m disinclined to send money just now – if it is the case that the homophobes have piled in, sending money will not help the children.)

Sometimes I think we should just sit back and watch ‘Homophobia Inc’ destroy itself by its inconsistencies and addiction to wild fantasy!

They are not aware of any such arrest, and caution that this might be some kind of scam. (Although it is possible that the orphanage is short of resources, of course.)
But they’ve said they will investigate.
