it's worse than we thought.
If you are merely acquainted with a homosexual and don't drop the dime, you too would be eligible for execution. President Obama’s remarks today have drawn attention back to Uganda’s Kill-the-Gays bill. And the media still hasn’t gotten it right. Some conservatives offer the outright lie that it only intends to execute child molesters and people who deliberately spread HIV. The liberal media points out that the bill would also execute people who merely have gay sex more than once.
But the facts are much worse than that. I’ve written about this before, but it bears repeating. Here are two examples of people who could be put to death:
Someone who has gay sex once and doesn’t turn his partner in to the authorities. A straight person who doesn’t turn in a gay friend after hearing about about a couple romantic evenings.

And the religious scumbags living at C Street an calling themsleves "The Family" heartily approve.

An important dimension of the struggle was discussed yesterday, by Jeff Sharlet, Talk to Action contributor and author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, appeared on the nationally syndicated NPR program, Fresh Air, with Terry Gross. In the course of the interview, Sharlet discussed the role of such prominent Family members in the news as Sen. John Ensign, Rep. Bart Stupak and Rep. Joe Pitts. Sharlet also revealed that the sponsor of the notorious proposed, Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Act, David Bahati is a member of The Family, as are other leading advocates, as well as President Museveni. There is a growing international effort to stop the bill. Here is the relevant section of the interview, from the transcript: |
