Uganda to pass Anti-Gay Law as "Christmas Gift"

[tomana]

Uganda will pass a new law against homosexuality by the end of 2012 as a "Christmas gift" to its advocates, the speaker of parliament has said. Foreign donors have threatened to cut aid if gay rights are not respected.

I utterly and unconditionally condemn this law which threatens to impose the death penalty for same-s*x acts.

The you and I are the minority opinion on BB? All you supporters of killing homosexuals, speak up. Don't be shy.

Agreed 100%. Let God, the Righteous One, deal with this sin.

 

[Aaron]

It prohibits the "promotion" of gay rights and calls for the punishment of anyone who "funds or sponsors homosexuality" or "abets homosexuality".
But a clause which calls for the death penalty against people found guilty of "aggravated homosexuality" - defined as when one of the participants is a minor, HIV-positive, disabled or a "serial offender" - is to be dropped, Mr Bahati has said.

Sounds like a good law.

 

[Matt Black]

The death penalty?!!! It's very much far from a 'done-deal' that that won't still be in there.

Anyway, you can't - and shouldn't - police what two consenting adults get up to in the bedroom. (Different if they purport to be Christians in my church, but that's no business of the state either.)

Seems I was under the mistaken impression that you are pro-life.

 

[Matt Black]

Only up until birth, perhaps? Then you're on your own...

 

[Salty]

I heard a rumor that Uganda will pass a new law against murder. How dare they pass such morality laws.

 

[Matt Black]

That has nothing to do with the present discussion. (I was going to say 'Ugandan discussion', until I remembered that this has a rather different meaning!)

 

[Aaron]

Seems I was under the mistaken impression that you are pro-life.

You are mistaken about a great many things, a biggie being the meaning of prolife. Crawl back into your dark, dank den of Darwinism and resist the temptation to clutter a Christian board with your Socialistic, anti-christian subterfuge.

Thank you. :wavey:

Terry Schiavo

 

[Matt Black]

Point conceded re Terry.

You are mistaken about a great many things, a biggie being the meaning of prolife. Crawl back into your dark, dank den of Darwinism and resist the temptation to clutter a Christian board with your Socialistic, anti-christian subterfuge.

Thank you. :wavey:

Resorting to insults is a sure sign that you know you don't have a moral case
