Government officials in the African nation of Uganda have announced they will reintroduce a bill that will allow for execution of citizens convicted of homosexual acts.
President Yoweri Museveni endorsed the bill and has said he hopes to reintroduce it by the end of the year. Uganda had a similar law on the books until 2014, when the Constitutional Court of Uganda nullified it. Homosexuality remains criminal in the country.

“Homosexuality is not natural to Ugandans, but there has been a massive recruitment by gay people in schools, and especially among the youth, where they are promoting the falsehood that people are born like that,” said Ethics and Integrity Minister Simon Lokodo. He added: “Our current penal law is limited. It only criminalizes the act. We want it made clear that anyone who is even involved in promotion and recruitment has to be criminalised. Those that do grave acts will be given the death sentence.”
If passed, Uganda would join a handful of nations like Iran and Saudia Arabia which encourage the execution of LGBTQ people. Several religious groups in the United States and Europe had previously attracted controversy for donating funds or speaking out in support of the “kill the gays” law.

I think every company that supports the LGBTQ community-Apple, Microsoft, Starbucks and so forth should boycott the country. But they won’t because they want the almighty dollar. Uganda isn’t on my “travel to” list that’s for damn sure.

I think Starbucks is the biggest company to do business with Uganda. Coffee is big business there. Well, besides corruption of coarse.

Also we could start by pulling US aid to Uganda. American taxpayers spend 970 million on aid to them. I guarantee you that if this was any other minority the world would be demonizing them the next day and of coarse cutting them off like South Africa in the 80s.
Of coarse with our current administration that will never happen.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Vile cesspool of a “nation”. Was given tact dog whistle approval by the current misadministration to reintroduce this. Obama administration tried to withhold any aid to these sub-human smcubags to prevent passage. disgusting American pukes went there and advocated the passing of the legislation to kill Gays however Mick Mulvaney went and had a form saying that religious freedom is something that should be encouraged a wink and a nod dog to reintroduce the death bill

“Homosexuality is not natural to Ugandans.” Bull. Homosexuality is natural to every human population on Earth and the vast majority of animal species. It is an illogical and purposely misleading argument. What is not “natural” to Ugandans is a laundry list of conveniences, culture adaptations and even religions that are now common there. Yet, I don’t see bills banning any of those. This is about hate. Pure and simple. They have let their insecurities and blood lust override their most basic sense of human decency. Yet another collection of fragile people who are seeking another scapegoat to justify their cruelty.

This is the law that money from Chik Fil Et was going to fund, and the group funneling it, FRC has spoken at multiple Republican events.

Yeah, there was a good documentary on Netflix called the family about how some religious right organizations were responsible for the kill the gay bill in Uganda and the control they have on many Republican Politician’s. Just like were seeing with Trump there are many dark connections.
At least we get a good glimpse of who they really are.
