Today’s post is another in our semi-regular series – Rogue’s Gallery – where we cover Sex 2.0 induced idiocy around the world.
Previously up in the rogue’s gallery we saw Virginity Paranoia In Egypt, Sex In Morocco and Relationship Duress In Pakistan.
This week up in the Rogue’s Gallery we have the War on Homosexuals In Uganda.
This week the president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni signed into law the Anti-Homosexuality Bill adding ““We shall have a war with the homosexual lobby, in the world” which was received to a room full of the kind of cheers that you would associate with a public lynching or the Salem witch trials.
The bill mandates jail sentences up to and possibly life in prison for same gender sexual encounters.
Jail is also mandated for those who support LGBT civil rights and the LGBT community.
Prior to the passing of this law, homosexual acts were already illegal but for the first time lesbian acts and ‘promotion’ of homosexuality is now illegal.
Previously the president had said he wouldn’t sign the bill unless scientists could confirm that homosexuality was not genetic or biological, but a deviant behaviour.
Not sure where they are finding their “scientists” in Uganda. Probably the same place where they are finding their “sex educators”.
As far as I can tell the main guy in charge, his job seems to be to spread retardation in Uganda.
I was going to spend the rest of this blog article writing about how stupid this is but regardless of what I write I don’t think I can make them look any more moronic than they make themselves look in this video.
There is just no words.
The follow up to this is that a Ugandan paper called Red Pepper exposed details of the country’s “200 top homosexuals”.
Of course media coverage of events in Uganda engaged in my pet hate by confusing the word “fearful” with the word “conservative”.
For example the BBC said “Uganda is a deeply conservative society where most people oppose homosexuality.”
Let me fix that for you.
Uganda is a deeply fearful society where most people oppose homosexuality.
There, fixed it.
It’s not just president Yoweri Museveni and Pastor Martin Sempa who take thier place in rogue gallery but also sponsor of the bill, MP David Bahati.
Bahati insisted homosexuality was a “behaviour that can be learned and can be unlearned”.
Hmmm, not sure about that David.
Sex 2.0 induced idiocy is learned and can be unlearned though.
