Evangelical Republicans Behind ‘Kill The Gays’ Law in Uganda

Posted on 02 December 2009                                                                                                             Bookmark and Share

An anti-gay bill in Uganda that proposes the death penalty and long prison sentences for homosexual acts. Uganda’s Parliament — encouraged by American evangelicals (who converted Uganda’s President, Yoweri Museveni, pictured below) — in October introduced a new draft legislation, The Anti-Homosexuality Bill, that will “… greatly expand criminal penalties against lesbians and gays.” Currently, “carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature” carries a sentence of up to 7+ years imprisonment under Uganda’s penal code. The proposed legislation seeks to imprison anyone convicted of “the offense of homosexuality” for life, while “aggravated homosexuality,” will incur the death penalty.

Uganda's President Yoweri MuseveniThe draft anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009 tabled by legislator David Bahati seeks to impose strict sanctions on homosexuality and proposes long jail terms and/or death for anyone who engages in it or who aids, abets, counsels or procures another to engage in it.

Uganda is largely evangelical and very Bible-based — with American evangelists in the country claiming that homosexuality is evil and sinful.

One such leader is the US-based Rick Warren who allegedly told Ugandans that homosexuality is not a natural way of life and thus not a human right. [ READ MORE ]

George Bush’s 2003 $15 billion to fight AIDS in developing countries — provided an opening for evangelical Christians who previously did little to nothing about aids — to invade these third world nations, with their message of hate and intolerance — while hiding behind Bush’s “AID.

Helen Epstein wrote in April 2008: While Catholic and Protestant churches have been running AIDS programs since the 1980s, few evangelical Christian groups have done so. Indeed, as the deadly virus spread around the world, many evangelical Christians were silent or worse. Jerry Falwell called AIDS God’s judgment on promiscuity, and former Senator Jesse Helms, a longtime congressional ally of the evangelicals, told The New York Times in 1995 that AIDS funding should be reduced because homosexuals contract the disease through their “deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct.” [ READ MORE ]
