Maybe we can reach a point of reconsideration on Ugandas 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.

Uganda is approx. 86% Christian (majority Catholic) and 12% Muslim.
background: Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni’s reply to Obama in Feb 2014:
[I would like to discourage the USA government from taking the line that passing this law will complicate our valued relationship with the USA as President Obama said. Countries and Societies should relate with each other on the basis of mutual respect and independence in decision making.
Valued relationship cannot be sustainably maintained by one Society being subservient to another society. There are a myriad acts the societies in the West do that we frown on or even detest. We, however, never comment on those acts or make them preconditions for working with the West. Africans do not seek to impose their views on anybody. We do not want anybody to impose their views on us. This very debate was provoked by Western groups who come to our schools and try to recruit children into homosexuality. It is better to limit the damage rather than exacerbate it.”]

Kerry had, already, dressed up to look like a “giant sperm”, during his run for POTUS.
Kerry is a lousy SOS and a lousy American. He is the turd that sat on the tanks with our enemy and was proud of it. No wonder nobody has any respect for him.
No excuses for a total phony jerk who never really worked for anything.
Jesus.
The economy is imploding, Ukraine is in flames, Obamacare is denying medical attention to those in need....
....and all this administration can think about is foreign fags.
"There's a sale at Penny's!"
Ugandan dictator to American "scientist":
"Darla tay my dictates good!"
Should be quite a discussion. Telling the Ugandans evil is OK. How much sicker can our nation become? Spreading evil.
And so what if that were the case? We are all born sinners, with proclivities towards some type of sin. Be it alcoholism, drug abuse, philandering, pride, theft, pedophilia, rape, pornography, sodomy, etc -- we all come in the world with a sinful nature. The fact that we can blame 'Adam' is no excuse. Some sins may just cross the line to tolerable annoyances, but they should never be celebrated.
The fact that Uganda wants to come down hard on the sin of sodomy because they understand that it often turns into men preying on young boys is commendable. The fact that our Nation wants to browbeat them from their stance is damnable.
Obama: DETERMINED to spread the forced celebration of sodomy ALL OVER AFRICA.
Just like "global warming".
What is China telling them to do? What is Russia telling them to do?
Ah yes, hypocrite democrats. I remember when the Dems were up in arms whenever our foreign policy or actions seemed to promote Christianity in foreign countries. My, how times have changed. Oh, and to Kerry maybe being a fine Sec State, not a chance. Total incompetent like Hillary.
Black Uncle George: Eat’em up yum yum.
Obozo and cupcake, our SOS, both should resign their positions and go to Uganda for the rest of their lives to convince the Ugandans what a great life, homosexuals have.
