I’d be proud if I carried a Uganda passport.

My daughter (26) has been on two mission trips to Uganda. They have some wonderful Christians there. She spent her time in a small village (Homia) and some of them had never seen white people. The people were very friendly and my daughter’s group even baptized some of them in a hotel swimming pool in another town. They were so excited. Their “church” was a thatched roof over a concrete slab and I would venture to say their worship was more sincere than in some of our most beautiful stained-glass megachurches. I believe God will bless their country. My daughter and I are friends on FB with some of those she met while there. They are very dedicated in their beliefs and love learning. Of course, islam is gaining a foothold as well. Islam never rests.

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.
