Rolling Stone Editor Giles Muhame: Violence Against Uganda’s Gays Isn’t My Fault

Ugh. It appears the Uganda newspaper Rolling Stone‘s attempt to incite violence against its Top 100 list of homos is working: “Several people have been attacked in Uganda after a local newspaper published their names and photos, saying they were homosexual, an activist has told the BBC. Frank Mugisha said one woman was almost killed after her neighbours started throwing stones at her house. He said most of those whose names appeared in Uganda’s Rolling Stone paper had been harassed.” Not that backers of the two-month-old Rolling Stone are taking responsibility: Editor Giles Muhame says that despite a call to “hang” the people on his list, he wants only for law enforcement to investigate those “recruiting children to homosexuality.” And then execute the guilty.
