INQUISITION/LYNCH MOB GATHERS MOMENTUM IN UGANDA: The ¨Gay¨ hating murder campaign is now recruiting superstitious, undereducated, bigots, thugs and political/religious degenerates

 

Anglican MP David ¨Kill all the Gays¨ Bahati, author of anti-LGBTI legislation in Uganda

 ¨Yes, while we were asleep, a huge anti-gay campaign is happening.

Pastor Martin ¨Gays eat poop¨ Ssempa insists that killing Gays will stop the spread of HIV

The anti-gay pastors handed a 2Million signature petition to parliament just this week? Yes, they did. And, Pastor Martin 'eat da poo poo' Ssempa has been in parliament with slide shows. Not of gay porn, but, apparently to showcase the fact that the bill will help in preventing the spread of HIV. Because it is going to stop homosexuality in Uganda.

Anglican Archbishop Orombi/Uganda allowed a speaker promoting ¨The Anti-Homosexuality bill should become law¨ this morning at Anglican Church service in Kampala

Grave Danger Alert: Ugandan fear-hatemongers are canvassing Uganda with fresh lies and slander promoting hate crimes against LGBTI citizens

No. I am not kidding you.

And, speakers are fanning out all over the country. Schools. FM stations. And TVs.

What is happening?

That infamous bill was presented in this parliament. The international reaction was strong, and, it led to the government withdrawing support for the bill.

Now, elections for a new parliament happened. And, Bahati would have to present the bill again, in the next parliament, if it lapses in this parliament.

So, Bahati and co are doing a campaign. Pressure the outgoing parliament to make the bill law.

And, they are stirring up lots of dust. And, they have the strength of numbers.

This parliament has until May to conclude its business.

Should I be worried?

Well, the bill demands the death penalty for such as me. Serial offenders. Of course, life imprisonment when caught on a first offence. And, of course, this blog is a promotion of homosexuality. Which the bill criminalises...please read it all,  HERE

UPDATE: US Department of State: Religious Fundamentalism at Heart of Uganda's Human Rights Problem

"participants openly threatened LGBT individuals."

¨The United States Department of State submitted its annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate as required by law for "countries that receive assistance" among others. The Uganda Report addresses the religious fundamentalism at the heart of Uganda's human rights problem.

The Uganda Report specifically mentions the rallies conducted by religious fundamentalists like Pastor Martin Ssempa where "participants openly threatened LGBT individuals." MP David Bahati and former Ethics and Integrity Minister Nsaba James Buturo are also mentioned by name. The report states emphatically that the Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009 violates "the Ugandan constitution and international law." please read it all HERE

Anglican Bishop Christopher Ssenyonjo, LGBTI spiritual advisor in Uganda

Authentic ¨GOOD NEWS¨ -- Retired Uganda bishop speaks at UN, calls for global decriminalization of homosexuality:

¨Retired Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo, an outspoken activist for human rights and equality in Uganda, delivered a presentation at the United Nations in New York on April 8 calling for the global decriminalization of homosexuality as a way to make progress in the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

"The criminalization of homosexuality remains the most significant barrier that needs to be dismantled to reduce the spread of AIDS," said Senyonjo, during a panel discussion that formed part of an informal interactive hearing at the U.N. "We need to make our laws and agreements more binding. We need to ask if our laws or beliefs help or prevent the spread of HIV and hinder or support families caring for loved ones."

Senyonjo noted that more than 80 countries still criminalize homosexuality "and see it as a crime against God and nature. Denying people their humanity puts us all at risk because AIDS spreads fast in the darkness of ignorance." HERE

ANGLICAN DAVID KATO -- UGANDAN MARTYR: ¨Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and that we may reverently use our freedom...¨ Part Six

This is a true story.

A young man, named David, lived in a small town.

He attended an Anglican church, and he was a faithful member.

As he grew in faith and stature he also grew more self-aware.

And he knew he was sexually attracted to other men.

His town, his country, his church all told him this was very bad.

Rather than internalizing the condemnation,

he was confident he was made in the image of God,

and he remained a faithful follower of Jesus.

He began a support group for others like himself.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake.

Last year, a magazine ran his picture on the front page,

with the headlines: “Top One hundred homosexuals: Hang them.”

He took the magazine to court and sued the publishers.

He won his law case and a monetary settlement a few weeks ago.

Early this week, David was beaten to death in his own home.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

His own church sent a person who stood up at the gathering of several hundred
friends and family and began a filthy foam of condemnation

Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you.

In the crowd of friends and family stood a man and his wife.

The man, Christopher, was a Bishop in the Anglican church.

However, Christopher had been excommunicated and defrocked

by his Anglican Archbishop because of his support of homosexuals.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Christopher came forward, helped family and friends

take the coffin some distance to the grave,

and gave David a Christian burial and final blessing.

Blessed are the merciful.
Blessed are the peacemakers.

Dear people of God, we have much work to do to carry on Christ’s work of reconciliation in the world. Let us as a priestly people offer our prayers on behalf of the world; let us gather at this Table not for solace and pardon only, but for strength and renewal.

Let us pray: Almighty God, who created us in your own image: Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to make no peace with oppression; and that we may reverently use our freedom, help us to employ it in the maintenance of justice in our communities and among the nations, to the glory of your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen HERE
