Uganda Anti Gay Bill: It's Now illegal not to Report Gays!
President Museveni signs #AntiGayBill
YES! You heard right, it's now illegal and punishable by law if you know that someone is gay but don't out/report them to the authorities! Madness! And how does the police intend to prove that one 'is in the know' of someone's sexual orientation? Are we being turned into spies without our knowledge? Well good luck with that! I am staying as far away from this bill as I possibly can. I only see the days ahead getting darker and darker with violence and all manner of vigilante/self appointed judges from both sides.
Ugandan's React to Obama's threats
On the other hand, Obama should be ashamed of himself. Where does he come judging Ugandans when he openly said he doesn't support gay marriage and many states in America still fight gays/gay marriage? Wouldn't he be better off trying to talk to his people before poking his nose in matters of another African county? This bit here annoys me and brings back COLONIALISM all over again! Imposing your values/systems on others because you enslaved them with your dollars which were stolen from us in the first place!! This part really gets to me, and to many many others, President Museveni included.
I love how President Museveni didn't mince his words when it came to telling the international world to keep out of our business. He said, "so there's now an attempt at social imperialism - to impose social values of one group on our society. "We have been disappointed for a long time by the conduct of the West,
the way you conduct yourselves. Our disappointment is now exacerbated because we are sorry to
see that you live the way you live, but we keep quiet about it. Now you
say 'you must also live like us' -- that's where we say no."
The bill may be harsh,no, it's harsh but the move by the western world to impose on us and issue threats is what's really causing even more outrage and making it all worse for the gays.
Meanwhile in Kenya, MPs pledged their support to Uganda and congratulated President Museveni for "the work done". One of them went ahead to say (on Citizen TV) that they too are working on their documents to go down the same road!
