OK,
So I've been mentioning it on some other forums I enjoy. Mostly on ones that don't deal directly with gay issues, but I sorta squeeze em in.
I can see that people read the posts, but nobody has anything to say. All the other sites are pretty much like this one. Folks don't want to talk about it.
Just because people don't converse about it doesn't mean they don't mention it elsewhere though. Yesterday my google search for "Uganda homosexual death penalty" without the quotes yielded 186k hits. Today it shows 241K hits.
So it would seem that somebody out there is spreading the word.
Must be Timmy.

Well, I think there are a few more people than just me. But it is not just Uganda.
Saudi Arabia executes homosexuals.
Iran executes homosexuals.
Death squads in Iraq execute homosexuals.
There is an increasing tide against homosexuals, leading to death, death, death.
These nations are nations that do not respect Human Rights. And we, all of us, misty not just confine our words to Uganda. Uganda is a tin pot African nation in the arse end of nowhere. But Uganda has lit the fuse.
NOW is the time to say ENOUGH, not JUST in Uganda, but GLOBALLY.
NOW, when the eyes of the world are on Uganda, NOW is the time to say "NOT JUST UGANDA, BUT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD THE RIGHTS OF HOMOSEXUALS TO LIVE THEIR LIVES WITHOUT FEAR MUST BE PROTECTED"
NOW is the time to start to campaign against the Saudis, The Iranians, the rest. Now is the time to hold them to account, to bring UN resolutions against them, to place trade sanctions against them.
Uganda is just the fuse.
Make no mistake, there are powerful forces ranged against us. We need to be more powerful. We need to understand that this is a GLOBAL fight.

Yes Timmy. I started getting answers on my posts. People are totally dumbfounded. They don't know. Why is Tiger Woods on the news instead of this?

The Archbishop of York (2 i/c), born in Uganda, has now publicly spoken out against the bill. Sweden had said it will cut off its aid to the country if the bill is passed.

Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Yes I listened to Sentamu (sp?) on the radio this morning. He wrapped it up so much that the force of it was much reduced. I was thinking "How come a black man can be an archbishop when a gay man can't even be a bishop?"
Politicians can be expected to trim as politics is the art of the possible.
Churchmen ought to be able to distinguish right from wrong. The evidence is that they can't or dare not.
Love,
Anthony
