Uganda's anti-gay activists have some real balls.

Just one week after Bishop Eria Paul Luzinda claimed greed breeds gays, the Independent newspaper ran an article insisting same-sex lovers are looking for new recruits.

…The signs are there that homosexuality is growing in the Ugandan society. Between September 22 and 27, workshops were held at the Grand Imperial Hotel and at the Sheraton Kampala Hotel. Both workshops were organized by the gay community in Uganda. At least once a month, a workshop of this nature is held in a different town somewhere in the country.
…
Normally, the agenda of these conferences is to encourage the gay community not to feel alone, to network, introduce new members, offer sex education and to raise money to support gays who are being persecuted because of their openness about their sexual orientation and also to recruit new members. Recruitment is reportedly highest in secondary schools and in prisons.

Gasp! They're onto us!

Taking a page from Adolf Hitler and his campaign against "money-grubbing" Jews, Ugandan Bishop Eria Paul Luzinda this week claimed that gays are motivated by greed.

Speaking to school children in Kayunfa, Luzinda claimed his country men have become too captivated by coinage and, thus, have let themselves slip into "immoral" behavior: "Many Ugandans today think that money is everything and are ready to do anything be it immoral, to get it. Because of their greed for money our people have taken on immoral acts like homosexuality and lesbianism.”

If being bent brought in the dollars, we'd be rich by now!

Uganda's rapidly becoming the epicenter of anti-gay action in the Southern Hemisphere!

Long a bastion of backward sexual ideals, the African nation last week hosted a group of homophobic Anglicans looking to revolt against the broader international Communion, which garnered their ire by refusing to denounce gay Bishop Gene Robinson.

Riding the tide of intolerance, the Ugandan government this weekend announced they're going to take a harder line against the homos, a group that already lives in fear there.

Concerned by the "mushrooming" gay population, Ethics and Integrity Minister James Buturo released the following statement: "The state of moral health in our nation is challenging and we are concerned about the mushrooming of lesbianism and homosexuality.Ten years ago, this phenomena was not there, but the disease has penetrated everywhere." An interesting choice of words, no?

Anyway, Buturo says he and his ilk hope to establish stricter laws against the already prohibited gays and will push for more prosecution.

Upset over the Anglican Communion's refusal to condemn the ascension of openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson, the Global Anglican Future Conference Movement flew to Uganda this week to consolidate their anti-gay sentiment.

Indian Bishop Vinay Samuel explains This meeting is an exercise to explain the declaration we made after [this summer's] conference in Jerusalem. We need to explain to those who disagree with us on the issue of taking the authority of the Bible as we do."

John Bosco Nyombi is fighting for his life today. As we reported last week, "The British government this week informed Nyombi, an openly gay Ugandan national, that he will deported, despite the fact that the Ugandan government has a strict "no homo" policy."

On Sunday, when Nyombi was schedule to depart for Uganda, he flat-out refused to get on the plane. He was taken back into custody and is being held by authorities.

The British Government is attempting to send Nyombi to a likely death.

John Bosco Nyombi's shaking in his boots right now.

The British government this week informed Nyombi, an openly gay Ugandan national, that he will deported, despite the fact that the Ugandan government has a strict "no homo" police. What's more, Nyombi's brother worked as an opposition leader before being murdered by pro-government supporters.

Nyombi arrived in England in September of 2001 and has been living quietly in the country for seven years. He works with special needs adults.

Nyombi had once been granted asylum, but for some inexplicable reason, the Home Office appealed against it and Nyombi will be shipped off this Sunday.

This is, in a word, senseless.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's on a homophobic roll!

Just last month the politico applauded his country men for coming out against the queers. Now he's at it again, this time extending a warm hand to the Anglican Church, which recently bolstered its homophobic beliefs.

Said Museveni while attending the consecration of the Rev. Canon Patrick Gidudu, "I salute the Archbishop and bishops of Africa for resisting disorientation and a decadent culture, which he said was being passed by Western nations.”

The President went on to warn of the destructive gay ways: "It is a danger not only to the believers, but to the whole of Africa. It is bad if our children become complacent and think that people who are not in order are alright."

James Nsaba Buturo simply can't help himself! The Ugandan "Ethics" Minister, who has long pledged to fight the homosexual scourge besieging his homeland, recently insisted that anti-gay activists shouldn't fear violent repercussions because God's on their side:

Dr Buturo told Africa's Sunday Monitor that there is no need to beef up security for anti-gay activists in Uganda because God is protecting them.

"It's true gays are rough people but men of God should not fear their intimidation. Ugandans should strengthen their mobilisation against the gay movement because the government is also committed to support them," he said.

Buturo also spoke about how the gays have infiltrated local schools and are "luring" students to the lavender side.

The government and loyalists, said Buturo, should begin compiling a list of suspected queer interlopers and, you know, have a good, old fashioned witch hunt: "I appeal to the investigative arms of the government to quickly compile reports of such students and their schools so that tough action is taken against them."
