Uganda Considers Death Sentence for Gay Sex in Bill before Parliament

• Minimum penalty is life in jail, under anti-homosexuality bill
• US evangelical activists pressed for restrictive measures

Please read the entire article for yourself, but here are two arguments that article quotes:

“But within Uganda deeply-rooted homophobia, aided by a US-linked evangelical campaign alleging that gay men are trying to ‘recruit’ schoolchildren, and that homosexuality is a habit that can be ‘cured’, has ensured widespread public support for the bill.”

“‘We are talking about anal sex. Not even animals do that,’ Butoro said, adding that he was personally caring for six ‘former homosexuals’ who had been traumatised by the experience. ‘We believe there are limits to human rights.’”

MY COMMENTS:

Honestly, do these people think that we need to recruit? Sure, I have a garage full of Easy Bake Ovens that I have received for recruiting young men over the age 20. Not to mention my Walmart parking lot sized depository brimming with the Beemers that I earned recruiting boys under the age of 20. We work just like the Church of Latter Day Saints and the Jehovah’s Witnesses, going from door to door in our sexy white button-down shirts with black slacks and asking, “Have you heard the good news?” We setup kiosks like the Army, watching buff young men with bulging biceps doing pushups on the linoleum floor, as we shout obscenities at them. We want to hear our recruits say, “Yes, sir, can I please have another?” Is this really how these people think?

The truth of the matter is that we do not have to recruit. Statistics and Science agree that a constant 10 percent of the human population is gay. As breeders increase our numbers then proportionally the number of gay people increases. We are so high in numbers that we have no need to search around. Not to mention that fact that if someone is the least bit gay curious, they will use the internet to find someone with whom they can explore.

Furthermore, any adult (man, woman, straight, gay or bi-sexual), who engages in inappropriate activities with a minor, is a pedophile. Again, statistically, most pedophiles are straight men, who target prey who will be intimidated by shame to not let the tabby out of the Coach purse. You know, like the Catholic Priests were doing in the 1970s through the 1990s.

So please before making this argument for the 10 thousandth time, brush up on your statistics. This argument is getting really old and really bloody stupid.

As to the argument that homosexuality is curable, any behavior can be modified with the proper application of the right pressure on a particular subject, and I am not saying that modifying a behavior is a cure. The underlying causes are still in the subconscious. Many of the modified, or reformed, gays report living miserable lives that they have to keep hidden. Gee, I wonder why that might be. If you gave me a chair, a laptop, a pellet vibrator complete with the rubber ring, a shocking electrode, peppermint spray, a dark room, and 90 days, I could turn Padre Alberto Cutie into a raging homosexual. Actually, the procedure would be quite simple: strap a nude Cutie to a chair, hook the pellet vibrator and the electrode to his penis, continuously display x-rated pictures on the laptop. Every time a woman appears on the screen shock him. Every time a man appears on the screen hit the vibrator and spray the peppermint mist. In 90 days, he will at least be agreeable to getting down on his knees. And from the things that I heard that these cult leaders use to reform a gay person, my way is humane. I mean dumping people in bathtubs full of ice for hours on hours on end. Do you really think this is humane?

Lastly, to the point that animals do not have anal sex…. What planet have you been living on? Have you never been on a farm? Have you never owned a dog (I don’t know may be you eat dogs in Uganda)? Particularly, male animals (domesticated and wild) have two responses to other males of the same species; either they are trying to fight each other or hump each other. Horses, moose, stags, bucks, whales, dogs, apes and monkeys all have been known to have sexual intercourse with the same sex. Look it up on the internet and the Discovery Channel if you don’t want to take my word as proof.

We’re here; we’re queer. Get over yourself.
