I have no problem with his travel to the USA. He may have a few things explained to him, and a very personal TSA pat down would be amusing. I objected to his turning up at Barry's Prayer Breakfast. That was different, that was 'very official' and would have been some sort of a coup.
But having this nasty little bigot in the USA ought not to be an issue. What needs to happen is for all the folk against him to show him up for the little shit that he is.
We also have to remember that Uganda is just some tinpot little no account African nation. Much as I fear for the LGBT inhabitants there, their country just does not matter. It has no global significance.
Far better to turn our attentions to the mongers of hate and bloodshed who wash their hands of it when it gets uncomfortable, like the organisations just termed Hate Organisations. Why do they keep their charitable status?

The answer is quite simple EJ, he is an MP of a sovereign government and as such has diplomatic status same as an American Senator or Representative.

"According to Doug Hadden, the Vice President of Communications for the International Consortium of Governmental Financial Management, "David Bahati will not be attending this conference." Bahati, for his part, is still telling folks, that he is attending. But conference organizers have said they will not allow him to attend, and are hiring extra security to make sure that he cannot attend. An official statement from ICGFM says: "It is clear that his participation would be contradictory to our mission."
