As of today, the Ugandan Parliament has passed the draconian "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" ("Kill the Gays" Bill).



The internet is alight with articles and links spreading this unexpected and shocking maneuver. The bill has, reportedly, been revised to remove the death penalty punitive option, but allows life imprisonment to remain on the table.

Anyone in their right mind can see that this is, quite frankly, disgusting. It is a breach of basic human rights, and I am sure that the United Kingdom as a whole is as equally disgusted as I am. While individuals cannot make a change, you, Prime Minister, could with the support of us. Step in and fight against this bill through dialogue with the Ugandan government.

In the context of Stephen Fry, asking Ugandan Minister of Ethics and Integrity, Fr. Simon Lokodo, in a recorded interview, why Ugandans were more concerned with what gays did in the privacy of their homes rather than with the high incidence of men raping girls, Lokodo responded:



“Ah, But it is the RIGHT kind of child rape. It is men raping girls and that is natural.” Lokodo is a member of the clergy.

This shows how a lack of education in Uganda is leading to hideous laws such as this one being created.
