The American EVANGELICALS Goading Uganda To KILL GAYS

[Segami]

They continue to hide behind the skirts of Christianity in order to justify a continuance of their hate campaign against homosexuality.




Politicians in Uganda have been discussing the death penalty for gay people in their country. They have been emboldened by three American evangelicals who went to Africa to spout their hate. Let's meet these men.


According to an excellent article by Jeffrey Gettleman in the New York Times,

<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/04/world/africa/04uganda.html?src=twt&twt=nytimes>

Scott Lively, Caleb Lee Brundidge, and Dan Schmierer gave a series of lectures to people in Uganda for three days last March about the evils of "gay" (they like to put it in quotes as if doing so makes it easier to cure) people.


" The visitors discussed how to make gay people straight, how gay men often sodomized teenage boys and how "the gay movement is an evil institution" whose goal is "to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity."


It seems like being huge in Africa for evangelists (especially of the homophobic variety) is like being huge in Europe for DJs. It's hip and much less likely to earn you the label "bigot" back home. After their lectures filled the Ugandan people with the fantasies that gay people can be "reformed" and that they try to recruit children with Judy Garland sing-alongs, the bill got drafted. Now they are trying to distance themselves from both the conference and the bill in Uganda. Sure, "gay" people are loathsome enough that they should be fixed, but not so bad they actually want them killed. Their visit was like "a nuclear bomb against the gay agenda in Uganda," but it had nothing to do with the proposed legislation, nosiree!


And it's not like these guys are Fred Phelpses or Jerry Falwells either, people famous for their hatred of the homosexual. No, these are the even more potent enemies, the ones who fly under the radar, spewing their false information to devout Christians around the world. Let's meet the haters, shall we?

1. spreading the gospel

of HATE.


:mad:

[Segami]

4. Hypocrites promoting their hate Codex.

[Odin2005]

2. Monsters.

[YOY]

3. Take a national problem and create hate on a minoriy instead of finding a real solution.

Wow. It really does work in the short run.

[Segami]

6. Lynch-mob tactics.

[malaise]

5. They are no different than the Islamic fundamentalists

They travel the world spreading hate and pushing the ideological agenda of the American right wing. Time to ban all these fuckers from coming to our countries with their evil agenda. I'd put everyone of them on my no-fly list.

7. And train, boat and bus!

[Segami]

8. Frisk them also.

[malaise]

9. Give them the works

Drag them off in handcuffs the way they treated Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam).
By the time I'm finished with them they'd wish 'Morning Had(s) Broken'. :evilgrin:

11. Its a pretty sad state to see so many people duped into accepting a branded hatred toward

differential people while claiming such actions on behalf of Christ. For the life of me, I just can't subscribe to the thought of Christ leading a hate-filled lynch mob against gays if he were walking among us today.

10. The Christotaliban rides again.

[BolivarianHero]

12. They pulled this shit in Jamaica too...

And now it's more dangerous to be gay in a poor Jamaican neighbourhood than in the Middle East. Shoot the goddamn fundies already.

[Jkid]

13. They can't do it in America, because it reeks of modern day genocide

So they incite genocide in Africa. These fundies ought to be jailed for crimes against humanity.
