The “mutilated torso” of Pasikali Kashusbe, who worked at Bishop Christopher Senyonjo’s LGBT advocacy group Integrity Uganda, a group dedicated to mobilizing against homophobia, was found a half kilometer away from the farm where his head was found in a latrine pit, a week after he went missing. His torso was found without genitals. Update: There appear to be serious credibility problems in the original report.
Police found the body while searching for the Rev. Henry Kayizzi Nsubuga, who went missing more than two weeks ago after speaking in favor of Uganda’s queers.
Two of Kashusbe’s co-workers have been arrested; they reportedly lived with him.
UPDATE: The blog Box Turtle Bulletin, which originally reported the story, is retracting its claim the beheaded body belonged to a queer activist: “Sources in the U.S. and Uganda now tell me that the young man whose beheaded body was found was not connected with Integrity Uganda, and that Bishop Christopher Senyonjo did not make the statement attributed to him by Changing Attitudes. The young man’s murder is no less horrific. But the connection to homophobia, for now, appears doubtful.”
How about we take this to the next level?

TO ALL THOSE CHRISTIAN FASCISTS: There is not any commandment condemning sex with same-sex partners. There is the Commandment: Thou shalt not kill.
Whatever is hell’s fury, murders and rapists, and their ilk, will find themselves in the deepest pits. And if Catholics think little man-made prayers and cult sayings will fool God into opening heaven’s gates, well the God that created the whole of existence, probably isn’t fooled too easily by simple minded humans.
I dreaded clicking on this story as I knew it would, and indeed did, make my blood boil. But I respect the courage of those who stand up for what is right to ignore this brave man and his attempt to make the world a better place. God bless him.

WOW!! O_O!! Shit these people are fucked up…they don’t get enough from just taunting queers. Now they wanna cut our genitals and heads off. This bags the question what did queers ever do to them? Well if they think they can silence as queers with this they have another thing coming. We are a global community. Hurt one of us and you hurt us all.

OMG we need to evacuate the gay and bomb that piece of shit country…..they are fucking disqusting!!!

Not to belittle this murder, but, after all, it IS Africa, guys. Gruesome murders like this happen all the time, for all kinds of reasons, to heterosexuals, women, everybody..

Sorry Fan but you are belittling this horrific crime; just ask Matthew Shepard. Oh, wait, you can’t, because Matthew got his body bashed to death right here in the good old USA.

Gruesome murder by bigots followed up by ugly bigoted comments. Just gonna shake my head at the whole thing.

@Mr. Enemabag Jones:
You have some MAJOR issues and I strongly suggest you seek treatment from a professional. All of your comments on this website involve ‘kill! kill! kill!’. That’s not normal and I would not want to be in the same room with you.
It’s also funny that you failed to mention the fact that Uganda is majority Christian . If this was a Muslim country, you would have pointed out how we must kill all Muslims and Arabs like you have in previous posts. Yet, you seem to give Christians a pass…hmm.
What makes you think that you have a right to murder people? Who do you think you are? Again, I strongly suggest you seem help from a professional and I am serious.

@Xtian99: You are the savage. Read that bastardization of the English language you just shit all over the page with caps lock on, moron.

@Xtian99: Surprisingly an overwhelmingly large amount of homophobic laws in African countries were introduced when they were colonized by Westerners.

They’re a bunch of Gorillas. It is in their nature to be violent. Just look at Detroit!
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
There is blood on the hands many in this murder. Prick Warren, Scott Smiley and all the other US “christians” who flocked to that “nation” and helped craft the wicked legislation that basicaly called for open season on the Gays. And that vile self hating fag scumbag “Rev” Martin Cesspoolaa and his 24/7 Gay porn shows and descriptions of all the scat fetishes he so badly desires to participate in. I am fairly certain the savages that ripped off Pasikali Kashusbe’s genitals did so when he was still alive ….Pathetic and sick is the only way to describe it

this is horrific. the racism in some of these comments are horrific too.

Blacks turn everything to shit. Look at Obummer. Obummer wants to turn the US into Uganda. Blacks are the dumbest race.

@Mike:

Your armchair analysis is duly noted.
All of your comments on this website involve ‘kill! kill! kill!’. That’s not normal and I would not want to be in the same room with you.
If the only issue you have with this blog posting is my comment, then clearly you didn’t bother to read the story. I find it perplexing that you spent all your time chastising me, while not bothering to register one iota of disgust, or regret towards the murder of a Ugandan gay man; and the likely murder of a Ugandan pro-gay ally.
What would you have us do, “Mike”, give all those anti-gay peoples a warm hung, and tell them everything is ok?
It’s also funny that you failed to mention the fact that Uganda is majority Christian.
Why would I mention it, if it wasn’t part of the article, or this blog post?
If this was a Muslim country, you would have pointed out how we must kill all Muslims and Arabs like you have in previous posts. Yet, you seem to give Christians a pass…hmm.
Kill them all, and let God sort them out.
You seem quite persnickety about this comment of mine. Reminds me of another pissy person I had dealings with, in the other blog post you, for some irrelevant reason, decided to reference.
What makes you think that you have a right to murder people?
It’s not a right–it’s a desire. What gives you the right to ignore the brutality, injustices, and humiliations that our queer brothers and sisters suffer daily? You in your pampered, tolerant, free society, living openly without fear of rampaging mobs, and beheadings.
Who do you think you are?
A living, breathing, concerned, compassionate human being, whose blood churns at the thought that in 2010, people are being bullied, murdered, harassed, and tortured for being queer.
What, exactly, are you?
Again, I strongly suggest you seem help from a professional and I am serious.
Ok, Bill-boy, I’ll get on that.

Mike in Asheville : that’s the dumbest comeback I could imagine. It doesn’t negate anything in my statement. By the way (pssst) Matthew Shepard’s killers got life in prison. But if you’re even going to dare try to compare the quality of life for American gays with that of gays in sub-Saharan Africa, be my guest. Obviously living in North Carolina (the dumbest most non-achieving state in the country) has wreaked havoc on your logic.

Horrible and disgusting.

And America gives them loads of our tax money as aid.
And our churches and ministers here in America encourage this kind of hatred and brutality in Uganda.

I have a problem with soley blaming white christian bigots for the attitudes of Ugandans. Much of it is due to Ugandans spreading superstition and fear about gays (gays rape children, gays spread HIV). They believe bad things about gays because they want to. Bigoted white christians are CHOSEN by Ugandans because of the homophobic message they preach.
Bill Perdue
@Kev C: I think that if you look at the facts the pogroms in Uganda are the result of the introduction of christer superstition by the Brits in the early colonial period and the later intervention of christer pigs from the US. They used the murder of a few putrid, profit gouging christer missionaries as an excuse to invade and colonize Uganda.
Colonization brought christian superstition, homohating, misogyny, slavery and the English theft of resources and labor on a colossal scale. As Desmond Tutu puts it: “When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, ‘Let us pray.’ We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.”
For an extensive look at the modern intervention of rightwing US christer scum, including Obama bbf Rick Warren, in the effort to murder our Ugandan brother and sisters you can’t find a more complete source than this: http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/slouching-toward-kampala

@Bill Perdue: I can agree with you about the harm caused by Colonialism. But Africans have long believed that homosexuality is a white disease. They themselves believe that gays are a major cause of AIDS. They themselves believe that children with AIDS were raped by gays.
But now, western gays and supporters are saying that homophobia is a western invention. That US evangicals aren’t exploiting this hatred, but fostering it in naive, unsuspecting africans.
US evangicals are able to exploit african homophobia because of their affinity and shared fear of gays that has existed for however long.
Christian NGOs, healthcare NGOs, and african governments all profit from US PEPFAR money. All are exploiting hatred of gays for profit.
FanOfThat
Those who blame all African homophobia on westerners are really saying those Africans are so dumb we can control their minds with no problem whatsoever.
Bill Perdue
@Kev C: Substitute christer and islamic for ‘African’.
Africans don’t have uniform ideas but christers, islamists, and rightwing judaists are overwhelmingly bigoted. African christers got their bigotry from European colonialism. There’s no evidence of it being a problem until the christer baby rapers and protties showed up.
I doubt that most people in Africa believe what you say they do. I suspect that beliefs like that are limited to superstitious. backward, religious people and to governments and cults promoting hatred to cover their failed economies and governments. That’s usually how it works.
Then check out http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/slouching-toward-kampala and http://galck.org/for real insight into the situation facing GLBT folks there.
Google the websites of Gay Uganda, Gay Kenya, Gay Ghana and other sites you can find at Gays Without Borders for even more information.

@Bill Perdue: Once again, I agree that colonialism introduced ugly foreign notions that continue today. But they’ve existed for a long time now and have flourished and spread throughout the african world, and it’s now a problem for us.
The affinity between white christian bigots and african homophobes is real. I remember walking into an african restuaruant in DC, and on the loudspeaker, african workers were playing tapes of a white southern preacher saying the ugliest, homophobic things. They chose to listen to these tapes and to broadcast them to patrons. How are they not also guilty of spreading homophobia? They are!

What never ceases to amaze me is the sky pixie doublespeak about being ethical and moral. I seem to recall not so long ago arguing with that silly nitwit Cassandra on a thread who maintained that you cannot have morality without religion.
Yeah right! – witness the above horror which is clearly influenced by christian/islamic ‘morals’.
I can see no evidence that our civilisation has been improved by christian or islamic moral codes. Indeed on the contrary, it’s not until the enlightenment and the rise of secularism that we start to think slavery is wrong, that torture is wrong, that capital punishment is wrong.
But to keep to africa. There is no doubt that christianity increased or caused the modern day hatred of homosexuality there. However, slavery existed there way before whitey and the bible appeared- muslims were trading in slaves hundreds of years before europeans arrived. And during the european / african slave trade it was africans trading their own people.
When the british army arrived in muslims areas of nigeria in the 1890s, they stopped the death penalty for homosexuality – the local muslims had the most gruesome means of executing ‘sodomites’ including driving huge wooden poles up the victims arse.

Either way, this is horrendous. You have to wonder about the sanity of this forsaken hell-hole.
Queer Supremacist
We need to bring back imperialism and do it right this time. Seize their land, dismantle their governments, ban all religions, restrict speech, and re-educate their children into accepting, celebrating, and glorifying the greatness of homosexuality and Western secularism until their culture is totally secularized, Westernized, and pro-gay. For as long as it takes to stop the savagery and stop the murder. Governments that violate the rights of their citizens have no sovereignty. No dissent can be brooked where human rights are concerned.
Tallskin
Queer Supremacist – and who pays?
in sub-saharan Africa, apart from South Africa with Diamonds and gold, the Congo with lavish riches, Nigeria with oil, the place is not worth colonising, doesn’t have anything worth plundering. Which is why the European colonial powers imported loads of poor white farmers to try and create some value – hence the white farmers in Zimbabwe, Kenya etc etc.
Don’t buy into the African and western leftie myth that the European colonial powers stole all the resources then left when they’d taken everything, cos there was never anything there to plunder in the first place – apart from in S Africa and the Congo.
so, for us westerners to re-colonise would cost us a fucking fortune, even more than we currently pay to Africa anyway in aid!
But anyway, the chinese are currently colonising the place as a massive farm to feed their burgeoning and out of control population, so don’t be surprised when an anti-chinese insurrection/guerilla movement starts!

I take it no one even read the update and the few racist idiots who posted sick comments only think brutal murders take place in Africa.

agreed- but sadly the westerners have evolved and repealed a great deal of those laws, while the half wits who they ruled were not smart enough to do the same. So yes we were all ignorant once-
thankfuly some in the world are moving towards a more enlightened view, while others are still decapitating people, poaching the last of the world’s gorillas and killing and eating their albino bretheren because there must be some healing power in that albino skin!
laughable- unless your an albino- then …not so much
