Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bil
I was just going to post this as well.
Thank you Uganda
I was concerned about the death penalty aspects of the legislation but when I read on:
it seems relatively on-par since in each case, they identify this as rape/assault, as opposed to consensual relations. Hopefully there's equality if the victim in each case is a different gender because after all, rape is rape, assault is assault.
Musaveni warned the west dont play with him or his country africans sre no longer going to be dictated to by muzungus

To make a distinction suggest they don't want to view it as the same.
I agree with you.
A 36 yr dictatorship, seasonal floods power into homes of inner city residents, thatched roof schools way too much abject poverty but that is priority? Distraction, meanwhile the man he trained to fight with him and he asked to return home and repair his country has achieved 1M more progress in half the time
In reply to bdaTryangleis the law the same for heterosexual sexual abuse, yuh sure????
And if no why??? Hehehehe
In reply to Brerzerk
Those are the questions I'd like to know the answer to - and in line with nick2020's response.
Sexual abuse of a minor or other person unable to give consent should carry the same punishment regardless of the gender of the victim (or the assailant for that matter).

In homophobic societies the law that states 'punishment for identifying as LGBTQ'
is quite dangerous! All or most of us know of at least one male or one female whose
physical characteristics or behavior more closely align with the opposite gender.
Police and citizens will now be more embolden to discriminate, abuse and or detain
those people. Seems like a human rights situation brewing.
backwards
People celebrating this?
In reply to Brerzerk
It absolutely is. I can imagine someone getting beaten up 'for being gay' and having no recourse with the authorities. No support, counselling, legal avenues. Could be miserable for that person.

There are people right now wishing that their country could take Uganda's approach, that much is certain.
If you're a gay person living in Uganda right now, what are your options? Become a political prisoner? Emigrate to a country that is more tolerant? 'Fake it' and live the rest of your life miserable?
muzungus and their plantation bastards crying about human rights lol. how many abuses are being comitted by the us in developing countries directly or indirectly that have caused more deaths than anything that uganda has ever done but nonbody wants to report on this

Your attempt at whataboutism is very sick.
Someone close to me was mentored by a current Justice on The Uganda Supreme Court.
She was suspended without pay because she was the lone dissenting voice who said
The govt. couldn't lock up Opposition Party Leader 'Bobby Wine'
That is the environment in which those laws will be administered.
Simply abusing people as an opportunity to distract from their failure
In reply to Brerzerk
I dont care about musaveni or bobby wine im interested in what the people said and thdy clearly have said they dont waNt this activity in their country so you can talk about floods, poverty ,corruption or distraction .all those things are true but that has nothing to do with this issue the people of uganda have said what they want or dont want
In reply to velo
90% of Ugandan women don't want their men to drink, they gonna ban alcohol?
I too don't care about Musevine or his opponent either. I care how they gaslight
and shift the focus of their people to bs and to abuse their fellow citizens.
Their was no referendum. Life in prison for a biological phenom just the same as a man who wilfully
rape a lil girl. Yuh see why I dislike idealogues?
Their rigidity trumps logic.
When God made Adam who did He make as the helper for Adam?
Eve or Steve?
In reply to WI_cricfan
Do you eat flesh (beef, chicken, lamb, fish)?
Dryopithecus or Neanderthal man Adam which one and if so why did God
have to cause those to wander, gather, scrounge and starve so much before
Homo-Sapien David and Solomon? By the way when last you sacrificed
a lamb or young bull to God/
In reply to Brerzerk
Imagine if some of these folks on here have children who are gay. Most likely they will abuse them or do worse
No son of mine will not come in my house wearing a dress or calling him self
them or it or she or any other bs name he was not born with
In reply to velo
A daughter does rhe opposite?
Laws based on the extreme applications of religion and/or a colonial mindset are dangerous. And in this case, the gay person in Uganda is now at a crossroads - shunned by society and government, and thus has to 'live a lie' on threat of prosecution.
Imagine if they applied with equal vigor laws against fornication or adultery. They would have to build larger prisons and half the politicians would already be under arrest.
However, being gay is "icky" and stirs the imagination of those too concerned about what other adults may get up to - so it's especially heinous.

Your sins are worse than my sins.

That's very well put.
