Jealous? It's their farking handiwork.

cf. Diogene's post. The Family (and those elected officials mentioned) are a political front for aggressive Jesusing in Africa.

So whatever you do, don't unwrap your package in public

His followup book, C Street goes into much deeper detail about The Family/Fellowship's involvement in Uganda. Sharlett even scored some interviews with Bahati and Museveni.

But calling them the American Taliban or a hate group is beyond the pale for some reason.

The article could be better written, but clearly means to say they took the death penalty out of the bill.

The country ought to have all aid cut off by law if they pass this law.

Penis in butt
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

that escalated quickly

That'll teach'em to be gay on Christmas.

Christmas is for monster trucks and flag waving; Christmas is not for dudes getting it on. Lesbians are ok.

Proving my theory that the only way to deal with Africa is for America to GET THE F*CK OUT (in every single meaning of that phrase) and stay out till they figure things out for themselves.

Don't forget Exodus International.

But, if we do that; how will Obama's family celebrate Christmas. Oh wait... you mean he's really a seekrit illegal allen mooslim?

I will never complain about getting socks again.

Can we 'discover' oil or Al Qiada there to give an excuse to nuke it?

Crystal Night - such a pretty term

"Don we now our gay apparel" has suddenly become a much more dangerous proposition

Subby seems to have answered c) on a question that offered only a) and b)

Not that it really makes this sort of f*cking around with the primitives any more palatable, but still. There's that.

American gays, the entire 3% of our population that is gay, should go over there and kiss outside the border. That worked wonders on the minimum wage kids at the chicken place.

A Shambling Mound: f*cking around with the primitives

I assume you're referring to the conservative politicians and U.S. evangelicals that are pushing for, funding, and generally all around supporting this bullshiat?

GranoblasticMan: "Don we now our gay apparel" has suddenly become a much more dangerous proposition

This made me laugh despite the horrible reality of the article.

/also "and then they eat da poo poo"

Link

I am surprised no one has brought out the Eat the Poo Poo guy.

Disgusting. I hope the person proposing it gets busted with a gay prostitute

Even for people that don't like homosexuals, that's a terrible gift.
The recipient doesn't actually get anything. It's like those assholes that donate 50 bucks to some lame charity in your name for your birthday.
F*ck you. Gimme a present.

"Miss me yet?"

Launch Code: American gays, the entire 3% of our population that is gay, should go over there and kiss outside the border. That worked wonders on the minimum wage kids at the chicken place.

Your herpa-derp is somewhat more apropos than you know: The assholes that "The chicken place" were donating to were partially responsible for this bill being written (the aforementioned Exodus International).

Why those guys?

I ask because I personally know one of them and I'll call him up at home right now if you can give me rationale.

Jail sentences are also mandated for people who simply know someone who is gay and not reporting them to the police within 72 hours.

Chic Fil-A is behind this.

How christian of them

sounds like a good place for all of those disgruntled republitards to move to.

Replace "homosexual" with "human", and I'm all for it.

I liked Uganda when I was there. I didn't see any of these stupid laws, t hough I did hear of it. People seemed friendly, but then again I am straight.

I despise western 'aid' organizations playing on the naivete of Africans to enact hate laws like this.

I had seen this elsewhere on the net:

Fun fact: The chief sponsor of the "Kill the Gays" bill is a Ugandan legislator named David Bahati (here's an article). David Bahati is also a core-member of an American evangelical christian political cult-thing that calls itself the Family.
The Family has poured millions of dollars into Uganda, backing Bahati, sponsoring prayer breakfasts, hosting Christian youth leadership conferences. They've basically spent the last decade evangelizing & radicalizing the entire Ugandan population.
There's no knowing how deeply involved The Family is in this one particular piece of legislation, but given the players on the field I'd say they're in deep.
Process that for a second, a tiny cabal of American evangelical Christian millionaires and their hand-picked counterparts in Uganda have created a bill that would authorize the legal execution of gay people for being gay.
If the Taliban tried this shiat we'd have already drone-striked their homes into green glass.

That had a link to this : http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/20 09/11/30/the-familys-ties-to-uga n das-an/

Apparently, this shiat's been in the works for a while. I guess you can call up your buddy and see why you didn't get invited to the afterparty.

Uganda like dis giff.

But I've been REPEATEDLY informed that only Muslims pull this kind of shiat.

Catholic 41.9%
Church of Uganda (Anglican) 35.9%

Odd combination... Anglicans are generally split on the homosexual issue, but I don't know enough abut practices there.

I wouldn't be against holding all help based on human rights issues because of this law.

Seems a bit excessive just to have Chik-Fil-A build a store there.

You feel like that on all countries with similar laws?

Well, that certainly doesn't sound like the Uganda I know. 

The Irresponsible Captain: Odd combination... Anglicans are generally split on the homosexual issue, but I don't know enough abut practices there.

That split tends to be:

Western Anglicans - Gays are ok
Non-Western (including African) Anglicans - Kill all the gays!

The church as a whole is split, but that doesn't mean the Anglican church within Africa is split. They're not. They're pretty much all full hard-on for the gay bashing.

What the hell is wrong with people...

They are the Southern Baptist branch of the Anglicans

liam76: You feel like that on all countries with similar laws?

Yes, yes, we all know you're pants-pissing scared of every single person from the middle-east who doesn't look like a stereotypical Jewish person.

The Family may not need to be in "deep". Adequate indoctrination in irrational anti-homosexual behaviour may be sufficient for such legislation to emerge independently from the indoctrinated group.

I hate it when Fark contributes to the spread of false information.

I just read about this on BBC, and it was clear that the death penalty was NOT going to be allowed.

clancifer: American evangelicals are gonna be jeal-ous.

"Evangelical" and "Fundamentalist" are orthogonal concepts.

Evangelical means someone who wants to convert others. Fundamentalist means someone who interprets a text literally, though often they are most passionate about ideas they only imagine are written down.

In other words, what you were going for was "American fundamentalists are gonna be jealous." Which is also untrue as they generally want to oppress homosexuals, not murder them. But hey, it's nice that demonizing the opposition is something the extreme left and right have in common.

Great documentary: The Worlds Worst Place To Be Gay

Gay UK male goes to Uganda (orientation kept secret) to report. He'd expected the usual disparity between the harsh rhetoric and what people will actually say personally for a camera- a more moderate, edited version.

No. He was shocked . EVERY SINGLE PERSON, every age group & demographic. Ordinary friendly young people on the street: "I hate them, they should be arrested and imprisoned and killed, I would kill my own son if he were gay."

What passes for a moderate: "I'm not gonna kill anyone myself, that's illegal. But fortunately the government can imprison them FOR us, so I don't HAVE to kill people myself."
