If his brother was gay, “I would definitely arrest him myself and take him to the police … because it’s not good for society”
SOUNDBITES — “I would definitely arrest him myself and take him to the police … because it’s not good for society. … This is a defining bill for our country, for our generation. You are either anti-homosexual or you’re for homosexuals, because there’s no middle point. Anybody who does not believe that homosexuality is a crime is a sympathizer” —David Bahati, the lawmaker who created the Kill The Gays bill, on what he would do if his own brother was gays (via NPR)
Uganda sounds like Malaysia, where they criminalize consensual relations between people of the same gender so that politicians can acuse their political opponents of violating the law so those politicians can attempt to hold on to power. It is such a corrupt scapegoating of a minority. If it is majority rules on Earth rather than human rights for all, does that mean that the international gay-alled community, which vastly outnumbers any region that violates human rights, gets to vote on whether Uganda should exist at all? That seems where all this is heading to when human rights become a popularity contest rather than something all human beings should have by virtue of being human.

This is one of those cases where you kill Hitler before he has the chance to rise in power. WAKE THE FUCK UP WORLD! This man and his cronies are evil and must be stopped.
@Kris – I don’t care about Oral Roberts (ha ha I said Oral). However, usually when the gates of hell get such a good lubing up, some heat does escape and it warms up the world a little.

Good for Society? But I suppose that Bribery, corruption and state sanctioned death squads are.

“That seems where all this is heading to when human rights become a popularity contest rather than something all human beings should have by virtue of being human.”
I concur! It’s scary that even today’s liberal media fuse their coverage approach to human rights w/ coverage of whether Palin should be president! Bahati’s quote about the”defining bill for our country” demonstrates that sanctimoniousness isn’t only dangerous in its irrational nature, but even more so in the power of creatively fabricated divides.
