Warren Condemns Ugandan Legislation Targeting Gays


Reverend Rick Warren released a video letter to clergy in Uganda today, speaking out against proposed legislation in that country that punishes homosexual activity with death. The legislation applies not just to gays and lesbians; anyone who is aware of homosexual activity would be obligated to report it to authorities. Warren, whose Saddleback Church has done ministry work in Uganda says he's releasing the statement
"....because I didn't rush to make a public statement, some erroneously concluded that I supported this terrible bill, and some even claimed that I was a sponsor of the bill. You in Uganda know that is untrue."

1. Good to see him bravely stand up to barbaric law abroad!

Still I don't see why he was quick to condemn it even though that law has been common knowledge nearly a week now. I think it may reflect on his attitude towards the LGBT community. But I wonder if that Ugandan law is more influenced by Christianity than Islam? Because I bet if it was an Islamic nation doing such a law Warren would be mouthing off all "sharia!!!! radical muzlimz!!!"

2. Warren only came out against it after it's been announced they are changing it to jail only

He's a coward and a media whore.
