Uganda Debates Death Penalty For Homosexuals

Rupert Pupkin · #1 12-08-2009, 08:53 PM

In Uganda, they are currnetly debating legislation that would impose the death penalty on homosexuals. In addition, family and friends could face up to 7 years in prison for failing to report them to authorities. Even landlords would go to jail for renting to gays.

If they do this, any civilized country should cut off funding towards Uganda.

Uganda has never exactly been known for human rights.

This isn't all that shocking, and it isn't like only people in Uganda feel that way. After all, a current member of Derbytrail.com called for all homosexuals to be executed awhile ago....and not in a vague way. He just came out (no pun intended) on this site and openly called for all homosexuals to be killed.

Let's just hope this is as close we come to a Kenyan, or any other African nation sans S. Africa, President, ever!

Just out of curiosity, why do you exempt South Africa from your otherwise continent-wide damnation?

I wonder what has become of Repent?

I know Byk gave him a chance, but he just liked pissing people off too much.

We'd better cut off funding to some areas of the United States, too.

Thats just a low blow and not right and insulting to this country.

Its not like the KKK is a recognized group. They dont get federal funding. The Churches dont want to see gay marriage passed because they think their book should determine what a marriage is. That is a little bit different than the death penalty or prison for friends and family of homosexuals.

Sure maybe the Morman Church should lose funding because of supporting Prop 8 but that isnt even comparable to the Uganda situation and is insulting to even be compared.

Sure, a very small amount of people in the US may want gays dead.. but you kill a gay person and you are going to jail for the rest of your life, not given a parade.

Sorry if I'm sounding upset but the USA is not an evil country like you make it out to be. I may not be able to get married but I can be open and free and proud and employed and loved and not have to worry about being killed. Big difference and insulting to the gays in Uganda.

And you should be able to be married. I didn't make out the USA to be an evil country (although it's governmental human rights inaction for gays is disturbing), I made out some areas to be evil, and it's absolutely true. There are plenty of racists, gay-bashers, bigots, haters in this country. And, sorry, in some areas of this country, unfortunately, you are unemployable, and you DO have to worry about being beat up or killed. It's rare, but it's already happened, and it's appalling that it happens in this country.

That's not insulting to any gays in Uganda, nor denying the appalling seriousness of the purge they have instituted.

i agree with this. I just think its totally unfair to compare the two countries.
