Would you really? I am disgusted by these people and their current behavior. This is not a kind of Christianity that I ever want to even rub elbows with...pretty sure Christ told us to love our enemies, not kill and torture them.

In April 2009, a local Ugandan newspaper printed the names of suspected homosexuals, another printed tips on how to identify gays for the general public,[46] and, in October 2010, another named Rolling Stone (unaffiliated with the American Rolling Stone) published a story featuring a list of the nation's 100 "top" gays and lesbians with their photos and addresses. Next to the list was a yellow strip with the words "hang them"

Do you not understand that tolerating this kind of behavior toward anyone is dangerous for all of us? Uganda is leaning toward a serious form of fascism we have seen before. They say the bill is so wide open to interpretation that it could be used in personal disputes between heterosexuals. Witch hunts like this one are very sad and dangerous.

It sounds like an overreaction to the gay craze in the rest of the world, which they don’t want worming its way into their society. I can’t blame the end even if the means can be blamed. And it’s sadly not uncommon for highly Christianized societies to get most of the gospel right but then really muff it badly in some small area. Troubles that come from over-mixing the church with the government are nothing new, of course....

“Because of this, God gave them over...”

YMMV.
