Ugandan Parliament Revisits Kill-The-Gays Bill
Uganda's Parliament will revisit a bill that sent shockwaves around the world, proposing jailing and possibly executing gay Ugandans.

Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga said a committee will weigh whether to bring the bill to a full vote, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday. The Anti-Homosexuality Bill was introduced by Ugandan lawmaker David Bahati in October 2009. The bill could mandate the death penalty or life in prison for people who are identified as gay, or caught engaging in homosexual acts.

1. Any and I mean ANY US aid to such nations should be cut off
AND I would include in that even humanitarian aid. Everything. Every fucking thing. Not a penny from the US if they do this.

4. Unfortunately, we've got way too many in DC that agress with the "Kill the Gays" Bill:
And they're not all on the GOP side, either.
