“Maybe we can reach a point of reconsideration” on Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill, Kerry said during a forum at the State Department.
The Ugandan president committed to meeting with American “experts” on homosexuality to try to change his mind about the Anti-Homosexuality Act signed into law last month, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Tuesday during a forum at the State Department moderated by BuzzFeed.
Museveni claimed to have signed the law, which imposes up to a lifetime prison sentence for homosexuality, after being convinced no one is “born gay.”
“I talked personally to President Museveni just a few weeks ago, and he committed to meet with some of our experts so that we could engage him in a dialogue as to why what he did could not be based on any kind of science or fact, which is what he was alleging,” Kerry said. “He welcomed that and said that he was happy to receive them and we can engage in that kind of conversation… maybe we can reach a point of reconsideration.”
Kerry suggested this conversation was an example of the “tailored approach” the State Department is now developing to respond to anti-LGBT laws currently in place in around 80 countries worldwide. Shortly before his remarks, the Congressional Black Caucus sent a letter to Kerry urging it to examine relations with all countries with anti-LGBT laws, not just Uganda.

Interesting. Do you have a reference for this?
but... How, when, where? He's like a busy body nosing into every nations business where he doesn't belong IMO. Plus his offered solutions are quite the epic fail.
“I wish Congress had the balls to rebuke Obama for this crap.”
The radical gays now control the US mass media on most levels. Anyone who dares to “have the balls” will be immediately destroyed by that media. There are already so many examples of this, that anyone thinking about doing so has to consider.
We lost the war, when we lost control of the language, folks.
Great, the world is going down on a handbasket and we have a plane missing with 239 people for who knows where it could be. All Lurch is worried about is being Gay.
Remind me again why I am supposed to be worried about Putin?
Climate scientists??? Might as well.
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuup!
wow....we are absolutely nuts.
“In a speech MP Mikhail Markelov (Fair Russia) called the move by the US State Department, President Obama and the European Union “an absurd attempt”, and suggested that the US punished all lower house members. “As long as they stress that MP Lyudmila Mizulina is on the blacklist, they should also impose sanctions on all 436 MPs who voted for the law that protects our children from gay propaganda,” Markelov noted.”

So John Ferry is going to tell Uganda it is backward thinking to consider coprophilic male homos are abnormal. Go figure.
What on God’s green earth do scientists have to do with it?
Its a SIN!
It is against NATURE. It was for 2000 years a mental illness. Now all of a sudden its is just peachy keen?
Our leaders are idiots.
This is what American foreign policy has become - lecturing Ugandans on homosexuality.
Will Kerry be giving live demonstrations?
The Iraqi’s said the same thing...lol.
The real strategy will be for Kerry to offer President Museveni Five Hundred million or a full billion US taxpayer dollars to drop Uganda’s opposition to homosexuality and help Obama push his sexual perversion on the third world.
Bingo.
Don’t waste time or money on this. Then again, it’ll keep Kerry from doing something stupid on important world events.
Who are these homosexualist "experts"?
I thought multiculturalism was appreciating and valuing cultures different than our own? Now we find out the left thinks their culture is better than others and that they have the right to lecture them. Notice also that the left has no problem with Cracker Kerry going to educate da po ignant black man bout science an such. Rather degrading dont you think.
Having not read further, I can only surmise this is satire.
