Uganda's progress in tackling HIV is in "grave jeopardy" after the president approved tough new anti-homosexuality legislation, the UN and US have warned.

An increasing number of people are being discouraged from seeking vital health services for fear of attacks and punishment.

President Yoweri Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law after parliament watered it down.

It is still among the harshest anti-LGBTQ laws in the world.

The spread of HIV is no laughing matter in Africa and the government in Uganda penalizing sexuality activity that spreads it and toughening the penalties when children and vulnerable people are sexually abused.

And this makes the Biden Administration among others upset.

Why don't the folks that talk "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" learn to accept other people's cultures?

Expect the US, UN and EU to come down hard on Uganda for these homophobic actions. It does not matter if lives are being saved if the policy goes against the woke pervo globalist crusade.

“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” can be summarized with one word: evil.

An excellent opportunity for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to mount one of their famous public exhibitions.

Yup—US foreign policy is “make the world safe for perverts”.

Uganda better watch their back.

The next thing we know they’ll try teaching math to our kids and we won’t be able to figure out why our kids aren’t learning a damn thing.

Your map needs a name for the Empire.

I like the old Iranian designation:

“Great Satan”

“... the UN and US have warned.”

Has Russia or China weighed-in on this law, or do they consider it none of their business?

Once people realize the answer to the above question, they’ll start to understand why the US and Europe will soon be TOTALLY kicked out of the rest of the world, which is now in the process of happening, at lightening speed.

Perhaps they are only interested in defending white homosexuals.

Russia and China could help if things get tough for Uganda so it’s a double-edged sword at this point.

Hmmmm, not much talk about Turkey, even though it’s likely the biggest story of the month.

...I wonder why?

I’m not here to be angry with people in fact I’m more inclined to say the best foot America can put forward is cleaning up its own act and minding our own business but the Moderate Mainstream Ruling Elites will not have it.

Must go to war in Ukraine against Russia try to provoke China into doing something regarding Taiwan that will be next Ukraine and so on.

Not facing the truth about our sins including a wasteful spending spree that the Leaders have agreed will continue.

Here is yet another example of a foreign nation resisting the American values currently being exported.

Uganda will never allow homosexuals because of the “Uganda martyrs” that chose death over gay sex.
