Papal visit will only do harm. Ugandans have gone through so much, so I think it’s fair and reasonable to ask (again) why they’ve given so much credence to religious figures who’ve been at least as poisonous to Ugandan people as Idi Amin was. What’s the US to do–intervene against the same church groups who back both Dems and GOP in US–that’d be the moderate churches?

I wonder if the Pope’s trip to Africa will change minds there, and which way.

Too bad for the ordinary people there who just want to survive.

And Africa is high on the list of those right wing conservative churches who want new members. It really says something about those Christian Talibans.

The UN, the US and the world will do nothing. Nobody intervened to stop the ultimate crime against humanity and save 1 million men women and children in a country neighboring Uganda, so imagine them making sanctions against Uganda for crimes against a much smaller and less popular minority.

To s&m:

I have read the comments here and there is only one that is truly racist. Indeed, most comments have targeted religion and its affect on the people of Uganda. For you to come in here and post what you did only proves one thing. You are here to disrupt and be divisive, and you have nothing of value to contribute.

nice to see all the pathetic brain dead homo rednecks come out because they think they’ve got an excuse to show their bigotry. and you wonder why you have a hard time getting people of color of any sexual orientation to get on board with your initiatives. pathetic little pieces of shit.

oh and i’d rather visit uganda any day than any of the redneck meth lab trailer park trash towns you racists come from.

I want to see everyone out there, wearing hate with the circle/slashover hate. If asked what your shirt means, tell them that you don’t support hate towards anyone,or anything. That is what I’m going to do..so see you later with my hate shirt on.

I’ve read that the origin of some of the ethnic tension in Rwanda stemmed from formalizing social distinctions which benefitted the administrative process, but set people against each other. Did the British do anything like this in Uganda? Why is there such a rigid attachment to two religions which were both relatively late imports? As I said before about Uganda, if you can push for independence, if you can come back from dictatorship and civil war, then you would seem to be capable of seeing where your interests lie versus the importance of colonial values. How is it that these imported religions have dug so deep into the people?

“Ssempa and his coalition, which includes Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Seventh Day Adventists, and Evangelicals, also have threatened the safety of Ugandan LGBT rights activists by posting their names, photos and addresses on a Web site.”

So much for Christ-like, right? This world sickens me in so many ways.

Come to think of it, maybe we should put ourselves on an island! We could make gay marriage legal (it would be the only marriage on our island), have the cleanest, nicest beaches, illegalize bigotry, and have a stable economy!
