Uganda: The New Envy of the Religious Right

[Fedaykin]

"The Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009 is going through Uganda’s Parliament after receiving its first reading last month.

According to Clause 2 of the Bill, a person who is convicted of gay sex is liable to life imprisonment. But if that person is also HIV positive the penalty — under the heading “aggravated homosexuality” — is death.

...

The Bill proposes a three-year prison sentence for anyone who is aware of evidence of homosexuality and fails to report it to the police within 24 hours. And it would impose a sentence of up to seven years for anyone who defends the rights of gays and lesbians."

^Yeah ummm...I doubt Cheney the conservitive of conservitives would put his own daughter to death bro. But I can certainly see a good few zealots agreeing with this type of crap.

Hm. I wonder if the law will include animal species that show homosexual behavior? That list includes elephants, giraffes, lions and hyenas, all of which can be found in Uganda.

Or maybe they'll try to convince the animals to wear pink triangles? Maybe so "those" animals can be put first on the hunting quotas?

AIDS is a real, extreme problem there.

AIDS is a real, extreme problem there.

So, in your view, a health emergency is a good excuse to discriminate against (and even murder) people who do things you disagree with?

I didn't see anywhere in his post where he agreed with killing people with AIDS.

Maybe you just need to re-read it...I know comprehension is hard and all....

[broncocalijohn]

Yes, when I go to Church, those of the religious right always pray for death to the homos.

Yours is the reading comprehension that needs to be checked. The clear implication of his post is that these actions are justifiable in light of the AIDS problem they have over there.

Looks like I might have to correct the title to:

Why would Dickless have to worry about that?

In his world, such laws are just for commoners.

It's analogous to how repigs who oppose abortion have no problem availing themselves (or their relations) of an abortion when it's expedient.

Uganda has a terrible HIV/AIDS problem. Male gay sex spreads it very quickly because they are using a hole for a purpose other than its intent. Male gay sex rips the anal wall causing blood flow outside the internal body. Since it's a 3rd world country, gay sex could be a death sentence regardless of the law. Either way, they can run their country the way they want, but I wouldn't support this type if law unless there was a terrible AIDS problem there.

Considering that in many parts of sub-saharan Africa female circumcission and dry vaginal sex are wide spread, heterosexual intercourse spreads HIV just as fast and is a much larger issue than male homosexuality.

Maybe, but can they quantify dry vaginal sex?

So to summarize: my original title is correct, and you are unashamed to admit it?

You spit out anti-religious venom every time you post.

Methinks thou dost protest too much.

[gyldenlove]

Quantify it? You mean jamming a hygrometer up there? That seems a bit radical to me.

The truth of the matter is that no ban on gay sex is going to significantly change the spread of HIV in sub-saharan Africa. Education is the ONLY thing that will do the trick, as long as people think having sex with a virgin or rubbing goat feces on yourself or any other such nonsense will cure it it can't be stopped.

We can argue to the cows come home, but as long as the vast majority of the population in that area are illiterate farmers and herders in heavily misogynistic society badly influenced by extreme religious doctrine there is nothing that will help.

What I mean is you just said they have a rash of dry pussy. My question is how do you quantify that?

Gay sex is superflous. It has no merit other than pleasure, and in the case of Africa...the spread of a fatal disease. While I certainly agree with edcation as the best cure, they have been doing so since the 80's.

I don't understand what you mean and how that relates to what is happening today in Uganda.

[Rohirrim]

I was just reading an article where people are killing and dismembering albinos in Nigeria to sell their parts in Tanzania where they believe those parts have magical powers. Just the other day they found a decapitated, albino torso. The article detailed how albinos in Africa fear for their lives and try to hide themselves from public.

Anyway, good luck with that AIDS education effort.

Exactly how is asking you to clarify your position spitting venom? I am addressing you in particular, not a group. Do you, as you post implies, think that this is a justifiable law?

Maybe they have an intense gene-driven hatred for Johnny Winter?

If the vagina doesn't lubricate (for instance due to circumcission) or deliberate efforts are taken to dry out the vagina prior to sex such as rubbing it with powder.

In general having dry sex causes many of the same effects as anal sex, rupturing, wounding and bleeding.

At least gay sex doesn't lead to overpopulation and starvation, so it has other benefits - no HIV positive baby has ever been born as a result of gay sex.

The education that has taken place in Africa fits in a very small space. Considering the efforts in treating and educating about some parasites in the same areas, distributing medicine and educating about treatment it is a wonder that not more has happened in HIV prevention - There is if nothing else a correlation between the stringent religious doctrine in many subsaharan countries and the failure to control HIV.

Uganda is seeking to ban the practice, but it's unknown how often its performed.

I guess Ugandan gays don't kiss and tell.
