Ugandan newspaper again publishes list of gay men (to help them live 'responsible' lives)
Ugandan newspaper again publishes list of gay men
By The Associated Press
11.01.2010 5:00pm EDT

(Kampala, Uganda) A controversial newspaper in Kampala published photos, names and home addresses of gay Ugandans on Monday – the second time the paper has done so – prompting a rights group to seek a legal injunction against the publication.

The paper’s managing editor, Giles Muhame, said he plans to continue publishing photos of gay men in order to “help them live responsible lives.”

Earlier this month the paper – called Rolling Stone but not linked to the American magazine of the same name – published a front page story featuring a list of what the paper said were Uganda’s 100 “top” homosexuals. Rights activists said the story prompted attacks against at least four gay Ugandans.

1. Isn't the group funded by the C Street House pushing the anti-gay
agenda in Uganda? Where all those family values repubs stay.

..... most posters would have no problem drawing a parallel between religion and the violence.......


These are Christian Terrorists, and nothing is said because of the "type of religious HATE" that is being implemented.....


Orange is orange, and purple is purple... and these people are Christian Terrorists......
