"Kill Gays Bill" Passes, Sig. of President Expected Within 30 Days

Hate Becomes Law

As of today, the Ugandan Parliament has passed the draconian "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" ("Kill the Gays" Bill).

The internet is alight with numerous articles and links spreading this unexpected and shocking maneuver. The bill has, reportedly been revised to remove the death penalty punitive option, but allows life imprisonment to remain on the table.

According to one source, part of the jubilation of the people, is that they never received the text of the bill in any of their native languages. There are many groups, each with their own key languages. The bill was provided only in English. A language of which they have little to no mastery. The text of the bill can be found here.

Further, due to international attention and pressure, the original "Kill the Gays Bill" was suddenly taken from view and subversively attached to a less prominent, attention getting bill.

Uganda's New Anti-Homosexuality Law Was Inspired by American Activists.

Others Have Tried

Not even all of Madiba's efforts for LGBTQI fairness and equality have had any impact in Uganda. "Mandela's LGBTQ Advocacy Has Fallen on Deaf Ears in Africa and African Diasporic Communities" [Irene Monroe, Huffington Post]

"The Kill the Gays bill has Passed in Uganda .There are about two million Reported Gay Men and women in Uganda.This Law is to IN in [sic] prison them and kill them one by one.

Anyone caught or reported gay will be put in prison for life or killed. Anyone who Harbors a gay will be given 14 years in prison . Anyone who helps a gay will receive 3 years in prison. Anyone who talks to a gays will be given One year in prison. You can be thrown in Prison just off someones word.

People in Uganda are rejoicing in the passing of the law as they dance in the streets. Many Say as Christians they are looking to kill them to help there government and say it with Joy and Happiness. Many have been beating in the street already.some killed.

I have had many all morning long who want to kill themselves and end there life. I have been up all morning consoling these people as tears rub down my face.. As Christians are we suppose to hurt each other are love each other. Jesus Christ who repents the light of the world.How can we bring people Christ when we have hate in our hearts. How can we shine light into darkness when we have hate. I ask that all payers be with these people as Rwanda does not repeat it self all over again."

Europe is Engaged

There is a year-old resolution, enacted by the European Parliament in support against, and in condemnation of violence against LGBTQI people in Africa.

"We would like to report that the *Anti homosexuality bill has been passed*by parliament of Uganda. It moved from the Second to the third reading before being passed in a matter of minutes this morning on the floor of parliament. Although the bill wasn't on the official order paper for today, the rules of procedure allow the speaker to allow an urgent matter to be put on the table of parliament. The Prime minister, tried to oppose the motion but the speaker refused. The motion was moved by Hon. Mp Obua Ogwal Benson, Moroto County Mp. He is an opposition member of parliament.

The only amendments we know on the bill that has been passed is that the death penalty has been replaced with life imprisonment for certain offences. Other than that,we believe that the bill has been passed in the same draconian state as it was in in 2009. This is a huge blow and set back for the LGBTI community and their allies in Uganda. The next step is for the bill to be sent to the president for signing. We believe that at this point, this is where we should focus our attention, as parliament has betrayed Human Rights in Uganda."

Insanity Might be Called Systemic and "Abounding"

UGANDAN MINISTER OF ETHICS AND INTEGRITY SAYS MEN RAPING GIRLS IS NATURAL:

Uganda Minister of Ethics and Integrity, Fr. Simon Lokodo

By Melanie Nathan, O-blog-dee-o-blog-da; May 2013.

"In the context of Stephen Fry, asking Ugandan Minister of Ethics and Integrity, Fr. Simon Lokodo, in a recorded interview, why Ugandans were more concerned with what gays did in the privacy of their homes rather than with the high incidence of men raping girls, Lokodo responded:

“Ah, But it is the RIGHT kind of child rape. It is men raping girls and that is natural.” Lokodo is a member of the clergy.

Among the, Many, Voices

American web-radio host Marcinho Savant, has, for the past 29 weeks, been highlighting the plight of LGBTQI people in Uganda, with an emphasis on the occurences affecting GEHO Uganda and its members on his weekly broadcasts.

"It is shocking, but not surprising, that Uganda has pushed forward this reprehensible bill today against the Kuchus of their country. It is hard to understand that, in the twenty-first century, a government feels entitled to have a vote in the personal, private, lives of its citizens. We all know that prisons are profitable businesses. Is this, perhaps, one of their motivations? In addition to the horrifying instigation of this situation by American "churches" and "leaders".

It is shameful, embarrassing, and inconceivable. The world is watching." #uganda

It is reported that appeals are intended. More information will be provided in regular updates to this post.

I don't think killing gay people would be right but then again think about what would happen if everyone started to turn gay. Human race would die off no more babies are being made so really aren't the gays killing us straight people off?

Yep. So we better get started on banning vasectomies and female sterilization. While we're at it, we should imprison and kill people who are born incapable of conception.

Or we could just accept people's victimless decisions and stop pretending that the human race is somehow in any remote danger, and stop institutionalization of hatred.

There is 7 BILLIONS of us, BILLIONS!!! This number needs to go DOWN, not UP.

We are long past the prehistoric ages when we needed to populate as many land as we could, now we are dealing with a mismanagement of resources. If anything less babies IS a good thing.

Also use your fucking head, how is someone being gay prevents YOU or someone else from making a baby if you want????? In the worst case we can even have people donate sperm and make as fucking stupid babies as you want, no need to worry about everyone being gay causing the end of the world. You really think people would be stupid enough to just watch the species die and do nothing??? How retarded can you be??

That's like an Asian person STARTING to turn black. It. is. IMPOSSIBLE.

Further, people have been making babies for MILLENNIA!

Trying to stop a heterosexual person from their natural drive to procreate, is like trying to stop a bee from stinging... or a bird from singing it's song.

Stop it.

Being gay is not a choice

12/22/2013 6:39pm

Like do people realize being gay is not a choice? It's not like someone wakes up one day and decides to be gay. Its the way they are born, it is who they are, and they cannot mentally change that, which is alright and completely acceptable. People have been gay seen humanity and society have started. It should be accepted by now that it is NORMAL and that it is the way humans work. Society just loves to warp us all into the same shape, which we all cannot fit in and never will. It makes me so angry that this hatred exists for absolutely no reason.

That is really rude of you to say. As a lesbian, I don't think that "us gays" are killing you straight people. I think people now a days just kill, and need a reason to kill. And for you to say that we are killing the straight people, that's just bullshit. I have a family of my own. My wife and I have two children together, so how is it that we are killing "your straight people".

I think gay people are better parents then straight ones. Because when that child is brought into the world, they are automatically wanted because they were planned. As for you straight people... You get pregnant and walk away or bounce from partner to partner. So tell me, who is more toxic? So think before you come and throw out comments like this. We are human beings just like everyone. The only difference is, we believe in happiness and we follow our hearts and aren't afraid to love and live this way. And if you have a problem with that, keep it to yourself or get informed instead of judging the people around you. Thank you

Some have already given all the need to give and so stop them selves from bring more into the world. Gays do not add to us the use and live off us. They take in kids because they can not have any and think we should thank them. They thumb their noses at religions yet demand to take part in them. Gays are the parasites of the human species and they need to go! You can say all you want about those that CAN NOT do but do not compare them to those that WILL NOT DO!

You really think that gay families taking in the unwanted children of straight families is not something to be thankful for? You are on a whole nother level of retarded. Gays are parasites? The only thing that is parasitic in our world is people who think and act like you. Children should have families regardless of what kind. You saying gay people taking them is just another behavior of a parasite? How deluded are you? Perhaps your parents should have abandoned you and left you in a foster home or an orphanage, and no other families should be allowed to adopt you so that you could grow up without a family or parents. I hope your words don't come from a religious background, because God sure as fuck would smite you to hell you piece of shit.

I think ignorance has now reached it highest possible Darwinian peak in the human race in this statement.
It has been estimated that a maximum estimate (that's the generous mostest for any of you who agreed with this previous statement) at about 10% of the global population MIGHT be GLBT at some point or permenentaly...(yes there are people who experiment then don't commit.). If this percentage remains as consistent as it seems to have throughout understood history, then the planets population can continue to grow at its current unsustainable rate so we straight people can kill ourselves and take the LGBT community with us through over consumption and destruction of the atmosphere.
That seems reasonable to you, doesn't it?

As science desperately searches for a "gay gene" why does the gay community want to stop science from finding out what causes homosexuality? The rationale being, "why look for the cause of something when it's normal"? Because science can not find a biological cause for it, as they can for red hair. So they are afraid to keep looking.

It is in human nature, for men to be with women. It is what makes us human. Im not saying the gays are not human, and should be killed off like that.

But what I want to convey is that homos are being not human in their mind. They need a proper guidance.

12/22/2013 5:04am

If it would be like you said, that it is in the human nature for men to be with women, why are there gay people?
We are intelligent individuals and able to consider what is right or wrong. Being gay is not wrong, because people are happy this way, which is what life is all about. Discriminating someone for their oriantation is like discimination someone for being a football fan, christian or conservative. Let people be what they want to be!

one of the major things that defines a life form is the ability to replicate. In other words reproduce. gays do not do that and so they are not a life form. They are a parasite. They exist because we do not act. They are here because they do breed. Gays have always been hate through out history except a few 'in' periods of time. To protect themselves they breed with straight humans. Now they are in a 'in' time but as the world becomes over crowded they must be the first to give up space as they have nothing to offer our species.

12/22/2013 5:38pm

Well actually Genadi you failed to prove your poiny because 1. Says naturally occurring in nature. In all reproduction in nature (mammal world that is) opposite sex is the natural way. It is necessary to carry on the species. Humans are no different. We need to reproduce. It is the most natural thing we have actually. However, I do not think we'll die off or need to criminalise it. However, I too am growing tired of being told that to accept someone else's way of life and their beliefs is somehow humane yet denouncing my way of life and beliefs in the process and same breath. One's acceptance of your way is not what makes us civilised is our ability to discuss, entertain all ideas and decide what makes sense for us individually and allow the other party to walk away that way as well. However, in a place like Uganda and even NA where the majority are of a faith that has long denounce homosexuality, asking them to accept it is asking the majority to cowtow their beliefs for the minority, and a real minority at that. Christian faith is being undermined around the world so sometimes they stand up. Stop telling them how wrong they are and they might just let gays be. But, forcing them to allow gays to marry in sacred places like churches etc is not the way to go and is naturally combative in nature.

It is natural for people to seek faith in many manners. Forcing one to change it's ways to accommodate yours is not civil.

12/23/2013 2:48am

Are you serious nuckistan? LIKE REALLY! You are entitled to your beliefs sure. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO INFRINGE ON OTHER PEOPLES HUMAN RIGHTS IN DEFENSE OF THOSE BELIEFS.

Human rights trump the right for someone to practice the beliefs of their religion if those practices would infringe on said human rights. NUFF SAID. There is no discussion to be had you primitive human being.

Gays being unable to marry even infringes on their rights as citizens due to the fucked up nature that a certain religious idea of marriage has twisted itself into society. They are denied certain privileges that married couples receive simply because some entitled religious fuckwit thinks that two people who love each other getting 'married' will somehow affect him if they aren't opposing genders.

You are all fucking ridiculous and need to pull your heads out of your asses. There really is no excuse.

12/23/2013 7:15pm

Articles like this one dishearten me, but the comments just make me angry--from both sides. I'm tired of seeing people argue against terrible crimes, by offering to commit the same ones. "The straight people should be killed off" "Religion is so fucked up and everyone that practices it is a dumbass" "Gay people are better parents than straight people" etc. You don't have to be anything but a decent person, and be decent to everyone else regardless of their orientation, race, gender or religion. Issues like this one somehow bring out the hypocrites in everyone and because of that, no one can take it seriously. You're only hurting this movement, something which I am very much behind and tired of seeing everyone maul it by saying basically the same things as the people they're protesting against.

This post is not intended to blame any individual or incite anger, only make you pause and think about what you're about to say and why you're really saying it.

Its equally human nature for a percentage of the population to be attracted to the same sex. In fact its really common in cultures all over the world - about 10-15% of the population. I wonder if its human nature to try to control the behaviour of others who are different then your self? How does being a bigot towards GLBT people make you a better person? That is the crux -- the answer is : it doesn't, it makes you a dink.

Right wing christian militia in the Southern states of USA would gladly do the same, if they were not in check by federals. Their mouths are full of Jesus and love, and next thing you know is outlawing gays, cancellation of food stamps and reduction in social programs. Best thing ever, these bible loving thugs are trying over and over to kill off any resemblance of a decent health care in USA. Yeah, tell me more about loving your neighbor, feeding the hungry and curing the sick.

You sound like a crazy left wing. Whats wrong with taking away some of those hand outs that so many abuse? And then you say we want to get rid of an actual healthcare plan that works shows how ignorant you truly are. Im a southern christian, do I believe being gay is a sin sure, but it is no worse than any other sins. I also believe everyone should be loved. I have had gay friends and that did not bother me at all. Killing them is wrong, but the question is does everyone want America to step in for this conflict or will they complain that we stick our nose in others problems and should leave it alone?

Actually most people on welfare, for example, need it. The average time spent on it is only 5 years until they can get back on their feet. Some peopel on welfare are actually working full-time but their job does not pay them enough to live. And if you arent continuously looking for work they kick you off. Its a myth that most people are taking advantage of handouts. ALSO there are less poeple on welfare doing drugs than the average for the US population (in case you're interested in that statistic).

No greater sin link

12/22/2013 5:19pm

If homosexuality is a sin, no worse than any other sin, then your claim that killing them is wrong holds as much weight as a wet napkin. You've been taught that the wage of sin is death, and that to God all have sinned. You've been told that through his sacrifice, your sins have been cleansed, that in seeking Him and asking forgiveness all your wrong-doings are washed away. You've even been told that in doing so, it is no longer you who lives in the flesh, but it is Him and the life that you live is done so in the faith of the one true god.

Would you trust a government that refused to differentiate between the theft of a classmate's pencil and the rape and murder of a child? Both are sins in the eye of God. And in your own words, homosexuality is no worse than either of the two. So then, is it better? Would you rather I steal something of yours, rape/murder your child, or be sexually attracted to someone my gender?

As a child I believed in childish things. I am no longer a child. Sin does not exist because there is no God for me to disappoint. I am no atheist because there is no deity for me to oppose. Only fellow people and their refusal to abandon their childish ways.

At times, I am glad people believe that which is unbelievable. To some, God prevents them from doing ill toward others. If the fear of damnation is what keeps you from striking me, then I ask you keep believing in damnation. If the promise of salvation is what prevents you from striking me, then I ask you keep striving for salvation. But if not for those two, if instead for some other reason you are kept from striking me, I ask for what purpose do those threats and promises serve? To seperate us? To control us? Have you seen evidence of these things aside from what was written?

Are you intelligent enough to consider two things and evaluate their ethical merits without first checking the words of an ancient authority? If not, please, stay with your texts. If you are incapable of logic, morality, empathy without a guide, then remain guided. But do not fool yourself by saying, homosexuality is a sin no worse than other sins, and feel vindicated by announcing having had gay friends.

I have friends. Whom my friends are attracted to is of no consequence to me. If my friends are attracted to me I will not lose my attraction for my family, and if they are not attracted to me I will not lose my sense of self-worth.

Someone once asked me how I felt about LBGT people. "I love LGBT people," I said, "or as I call them, people."

This is absolutely sinister. People claiming to be "Christians" wanting to kill innocent people simply because gays have a lifestyle that they don't agree with? That's not Christianity. That's murder. These people that claim to be Christians just call themselves that because they picked up the religion. F*** religion. Religion is not what matters, what matters is your relationship with Christ. This is why people are becoming Atheist. Because people like this that claim to be Christians are giving them the wrong message. This is not Christianity! They're attacking innocent humans. Christians are not here to judge or kill. They're here to bring light to those who can't see. These "Christians" deserve to burn in hell.

seriously all these so- called religious people makes us seem like we're assholes and stupid people. My religion taught me that we shouldn't judge or discriminate other people's lifestyle (even though we don't agree) or appearance. God loves and doesn't judge. I personally don't accept it, but the violence isn't necessary either. They're people too, and I sometimes think the world forgets.

But nobody will. Because there are rules and ways to do things in this fucked up world. Hopefully the world will wake up soon and reinvent itself in a better image.

Polls show that even about half of Americans hate gays and the other half are just a bunch of sideliners, gay themselves or have a gay family member or friend that the are protecting and trying to sound supportive for even though their existence breaks their hearts. Gay people are as a whole useless to humanity. You need us straight people to exist we do not need any of you. Your parasites on our species and are a dead end on the evolution of man.

Gays do nothing huh? Alright, come by St. Louis sometime. Go to the corner of Cass and 9th street (try not to get shot) and notice how it's virtually indistinguishable from the set of Black Hawk Down. Now walk 7 blocks south on 9th street and all of the sudden it's a fucking Crate and Barrel catalog. That's the gay district, and it's fucking amazing. Same street. 20 years ago it looked no different from Cass Avenue, then the gays showed up and guess what? Property prices started going through the roof.

States are required to guarantee non-discrimination in the exercise of all human rights for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. This is an immediate and cross-cutting obligation under international human rights law. States should enact comprehensive legislation that prohibits discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity in both the public and private sphere. Such legislation should include remedies for victims of discrimination. States should also adopt awareness-raising campaigns to prevent discrimination by tackling discriminatory social attitudes.

Try using someone elses brain yours is apparently out to lunch. Im not gay but I dont care what someone else does with THEIR life. If more time was spent with people dealing with their own issues instead of interfering with others we would all be happier. This disgraceful behavior is just murder, theres no excuse for it. Gays dont rape young girls! That would be one of you straight males. Pick a cause worthy of your ignorance. Noone should be murdered for this, the young girls shouldnt be raped either. All I can think of is my kids and what if one of you ignorant fools raped or beat n burned one of mine for either of the reasons in this article. Makes me sick to my stomach.

You guys should be ashamed of calling us criminal for killing these aliens while you whites and other races have killed billions of Africans of the centuries till today. Bill Gate poisoning our kids with killer vaccines, Americans sponsoring wars in DRC over coltan so that you can have touch screen phones, the looting of our lands and the fact africans are used as large scale test subjects till today does not raise outrage. But we do what WE believe is right for us, you people want to interfere with it?
Even if the law does not pass gays and lesbians will still be burnt and beaten. That's got nothing to do with christianity you idiots: African ethic and beliefs. Why must we compromise our beliefs for yours? Why you don't go pick on Saudi Arabia and other muslim countries who are mentally sane and fight the demonic plea? You too used to give crap to christians that's why.

"one of the major things that defines a life form is the ability to replicate. In other words reproduce. gays do not do that and so they are not a life form. They are a parasite. They exist because we do not act. They are here because they do breed. Gays have always been hate through out history except a few 'in' periods of time. To protect themselves they breed with straight humans. Now they are in a 'in' time but as the world becomes over crowded they must be the first to give up space as they have nothing to offer our species."
you say gays can't reproduce but then go on to say that they breed with straight humans to protects themselves? so they can reproduce? there is also the ability through science for the gay community to reproduce without the act of sex so infact they can offer this to our society which hates them so much. also they can offer labour, work, love, compassion a willingness to help a weaker man….all the while being shunned and in some cases sentenced to death by ignorant evil humans who claim to be a better person than them purely because they have sex with the opposite gender. basically my point is saying gays can't reproduce is ridiculous! you're a basically saying the only way to reproduce is to get a man and woman to do the act of sex, where infact that is not the only way our species can reproduce now

Kenny

01/08/2014 11:40pm

Hold on. You are correct about one of the characteristics of a life form: the ability to replicate. Here's where you're not thinking about what you're saying..

Gays have the ABILITY to replicate, but they simply do not. A gay man can still have sex with a lady and procreate.

A gay person is a human
a human is a life form
your argument is null and void

After reading many of the responses on the blog, I could read no more and I sat here in tears at the amount of hate and anger. This is not a matter of gay or straight, nor is this an issue of Christian or non-Christian. this is an issue of either ignoring, allowing or standing against the legalized torture, murder and ultimate genocide for a minority. Humankind has a myriad of different gods, goddesses, higher beings that people believe in and worship. I am not aware of any faith that teaches this level of hate. All of the hate and anger expressed disturbs me. However, one post in particular upsets me. One poster has not only questioned the integrity of a man who has dedicated himself to helping the Kuchu of Uganda, GEHO in particular, but this poster has even suggested proof of their accusation. The downfall of the Internet lies in the fact that anyone can be and say anything under the protective cloak of anonymity. This post is a definitive example of slander and libel. I would love to see this person prosecuted for libel and see the winnings in the court settlement used to help GEHO.

Cathy Hume

12/23/2013 11:06pm

Sandy, you bring up an intriguing thought. You are absolutely right, that this is disgraceful behavior. You said from a so called Christian Nation. I believe that before missionaries began invading the continent of Africa, it was not initially a Christian nation. You are right, this is not normal nor is it Christian. I firmly believe that as far as the Christianity of Uganda, what they have been taught is only what the missionaries wanted them to learn, in order to change the beliefs of Ugandans. I know for certain that a certain evangelist is solely responsible for poisoning the citizens of Uganda with his personal mission to eradicate all homosexuals from the world. In fact, a quote from his ministry is that they, 'gave up on America and decided to take their message to Uganda'. He is also the person that initiated discussion about this bill to allow murder and genocide. You and I know that no matter how many they torture or put to death, there will be homosexuality in humankind forever. Nothing will stop them from being born. Each of us is who we are at the core, nobody chooses to be gay or straight. Every human being does make the choice about what , if any, faith they want to follow. It is so sad to see how many people are making the choice to hate so strongly that they endorse torture and murder.

Stalin was a homosexual with Dmitri Prokofiev, he liked the bu-do-be-do-be-do thing on the back of his neck with Prokofiev's moustache.

But they are both still alive and well thanks to child brain cannibalism.

Stalin came to my tenth birthday party in 1984 and tried to fool everyone he was my first cousin James' elder brother Charles.

And Dmitri Prokofiev turned up in Llanelli in 1990 telling me he was Jason Thomas a 17 year old boy.

Stalin is claiming the throne from the deposed line of Queen Anne who are well know in China and Russia as being real.

Nick Clegg's wife once told me I was one and wanted me on her books because you get loads of money for lying and saying they are mentally ill.

But Stalin not going to be messed about by the likes of her and even has James in a mental hospital in Dover for thinking his elder brother is an impostor.

The Irish Ogre has been performing her deliberate get caught shop lifting stunts in Folkestone this year too.

She denies it and questions the sanity of her accuser and has false witnesses ready…all in ca-hoots with the police of course.

We have had a child care genocide under our noses in the UK by the brain eating eternal youth cult.
