RELIGIOUS and POLITICAL LEADERS APPROVED OF THE SLAYING: LGBTI Ugandans have never been safe, but the threats are growing after the murder of David Kato...

Anglican Archbishop Henry Orombi/Uganda -- Deadly silent after the murder of Anglican David Kato
David Kato's Death has Galvanised Anti-LGBTI Sentiment in Uganda

¨Religious leaders here have approved the brutal slaying, a state lawmaker has proposed legislation that would require parents to report their homosexual children to police and a local newspaper has outed several suspected gays with the suggestion that they be hanged...

Kasha Jacqueline is the founder and director of Freedom and Roam Uganda (FARUG), the only exclusively lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersexual organization in Uganda
Ugandans’ response to the Kato slaying has created an almost palpable atmosphere of fear among homosexuals. Kato‘s former colleague at the rights group Freedom and Roam Uganda, Kasha Jacqueline, said she has turned off her phone because of an increase in death threats.

“We’ve never been safe, but the threats are growing,” she said, adding that institutions that would be expected to defend gays’ struggle for equality have distanced themselves from the cause.

The Uganda Human Rights Commission has found no compelling reason to take action amid rising hostility. “We don’t want to single out a group,” commission Chairman Med S.K. Kaggwa told The Washington Times. “When you start identifying with one group, you stop doing your job.”...

But anti-homosexual activists have seized on the Kato slaying as evidence that gays are conspiring to corrupt the family and are more prone to sexual abuse than heterosexuals.

“Homosexuals are killing our children,” said David Bahati, a member of parliament. “Theirs is an evil cause for corrupting our youth.”

“Kato‘s murder is bringing the national debate back to where it belongs,” he added.

Anglican and MP David Bahati, chief sponsor of ¨Kill the Gays¨ Bill pending before the Parliament of Uganda
Mr. Bahati is the chief sponsor of a bill that would make it a crime for a landlord to offer housing to a homosexual and require parents to report their homosexual children to authorities. (Homosexuality is illegal in more than 30 African countries, including Uganda.)

He brushes off criticism of his legislation by saying, “God is the author [of the bill]. I am just an instrument.”...

Mr. Bahati predicts his bill will pass after presidential elections this month.

Uganda‘s central government has issued no statements regarding Kato‘s death. HERE

Slaying of Gay Activist Spotlights Homophobia's Rise in Uganda

In this staunchly anti-homosexual country, Allen Mutebi has gotten used to moving -- five times within the last two years, to be exact.


"They suspect. They talk. Threats are made. I move on," shrugs Mutebi, a gay man who spoke on condition that his real name not be used because he feared for his safety.

The killing of gay right activist David Kato last month has reinforced anti-homosexual attitudes in Uganda.But following the killing of prominent gay rights activist David Kato two weeks ago, Mutebi plans to make one final move -- out of Uganda.

"What happened to Kato will happen to more and more people," he predicts.

The motive behind Kato's slaying is still under investigation. Police officials say it did not relate to Kato's sexuality; gay and lesbian activists suspect that it did.

Either way, Kato's death has put the national spotlight squarely on the subject of homosexuality.

Elsewhere, some high-profile murders of sexual minorities -- Matthew Shepard in the U.S., for instance -- became watersheds for greater tolerance. But here, Kato's death has reinforced anti-homosexual attitudes. HERE

ATTENTION Archbishop Henry Orombi/Uganda: IT IS NOT OK TO KILL PEOPLE! ++Orombi has encouraged and fostered hatred of homosexuals in his country and around the globe...

...deliver us from evil¨

Schismatic Gafcon Archbishop Henry Orombi, Uganda HERE
¨The readings for this Sunday, too, speak to me about the abuses that have happened this week in Uganda, and elsewhere, against LGBT people. Our first lesson is from the prophet, Micah, which begins with God reminding Israel of all that has been done for the nation.

"With what shall I come before the LORD,

and bow myself before God on high?

Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,

with calves a year old?

Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams,

with ten thousands of rivers of oil?

Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,

the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"

He has told you, O mortal, what is good;

and what does the LORD require of you

but to do justice, and to love kindness,

and to walk humbly with your God?

--Micah 6: 6-8
Do justice, love kindness, walk humbly with your God. That is what is expected. I wonder if the head of the Church of Uganda, Archbishop Henry Orombi, has any clue or concept that he must read this passage from the prophet and see the error of his ways? He has encouraged and fostered hatred of homosexuals in his country and around the globe. Let's face it: St. Peter's Anglican Church, the renegade crew that left St. John's in Tallahassee with accusations of 'unorthodoxy' and such, is affiliated with the Anglican Church in Uganda. And one need only do a YouTube search to find that the faux priest Eric Dudley is STILL foaming at the mouth about TEC's acceptance of LGBT Christians. I would ask Eric Dudley, Henry Orombi, Nicholas Okoh, Martin Ssempa, Scott Lively, "The Family" on C Street and all the others: where was the justice and the kindness in the offense committed at David Kato's funeral? How was launching into an anti-gay rant at a gay man's funeral a humble walk with your God?

"Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us..."

I am admittedly finding it extremely difficult to forgive what is happening on the ground in Uganda. Ultimately, I know that God is watching what is unfolding there, and my hope rests in the belief that Kato's death may stir some otherwise complacent people to see that the time for silence and wishy-washy liberal excuses about not wanting to appear "colonial" will come to a halt. This is a human rights issue, not a matter of trying to impose foreign rule. It is not OK to kill or to call for the hanging of peaceful people such as Bishop Christopher Senyonjo. People are being murdered for who they are. How is this different from any other holocaust or genocide in history?¨ read it all HERE

++OROMBI´S ANGLICAN PRIEST ¨GONE CRAZY¨ IN UGANDA: Rages against homosexuals being WORSE THAN ANIMALS at Anglican David Katos Funeral! Part Five


Anglican Archbishop Henry Orombi ¨reaps what he sews¨
Anglican priest Thomas Musoke, one of Archbishop Orombi´s gang of ill-educated hate-mongering demonizers of LGBTI Ugandans ¨rages against homosexuals¨  while officiating at David Katos Funeral TODAY:

¨A scuffle erupted Friday at the funeral of a murdered Ugandan gay rights activist after the presiding priest charged that homosexuality is evil and will be punished by God."


Anglican priest Thomas Musoke, one of Archbishop Orombi´s gang of hate-mongering demonizers of LGBTI Ugandan Anglicans  ¨rages against homosexual less-than animals¨ while officiating at David Katos Funeral TODAY!
"You must repent. Even the animals know the difference between a male and a female," Anglican priest Thomas Musoke told mourners at the funeral of David Kato who was killed Wednesday at his home outside the capital Kampala.

"How can human beings claim they don't know the difference between a man and a woman and that the two have different roles?" said Musoke, to shouts of support by some in the gathering.

Musoke's role was already unwelcome to some mourners and his lengthy sermon that crescendoed with gay bashing riled the leader of the Sexual Minorities Group in Uganda, Julian Pepe, who pulled the microphone from the priest, sparking a scuffle.

Police moved in to quell the melee and whisked away the priest. An excommunicated priest (turns out to be Bishop Christopher Ssenyonjo, friend of LGBTI Ugandans and ¨excommunicated¨ by Archbishop Orombi for ¨ministering¨ to desperate LGBTI Ugandans) then wound up the ceremony attended by around 200 people, including US deputy head of mission Virginia Blaser....read it all ¨ HERE

"The world has gone crazy," the pastor told the congregation through a microphone. "People are turning away from the scriptures. They should turn back, they should abandon what they are doing. You cannot start admiring a fellow man."

Gay activists, wearing T-shirts featuring Kato's face with sleeves coloured with the gay pride flag, then stormed the pulpit and grabbed the microphone. "It is ungodly," the pastor shouted, before being blocked from sight.

An unidentified female activist then began to shout from the pulpit. "Who are you to judge others?" she shouted. "We have not come to fight. You are not the judge of us. As long as he's gone to God his creator, who are we to judge Kato?"  HERE

NEWS UPDATE TODAY: From Dublin, Ireland--Prayers for David Kato offered by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, Primate, The Episcopal Church
Appropriate ¨Prayers for the repose of the soul of David Kato¨ were offered by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, Primate, The Episcopal Church/Anglican Communion this morning at ¨Morning Prayer¨ attended and heard by Worldwide Anglican Primates at The Primates Meeting, Dublin Ireland HERE 

 Lord, hear her prayers for David Kato and for all who suffer injustice and abuse

UGANDA´S NATIONAL SPIRITUAL SICKNESS: Using the Bible and God to justify hateful anti-LGBTI prejudices and fear-mongering

President Museveni and wife Janet are received by hundreds of supporters at Kololo yesterday
Actions have outcomes and consequences it seems.  Even in a country as freewheeling-corrupt and politically/spiritually damaged by greedy grandstanding religious leaders as Uganda there will be moments of knowing truth from lies, right from wrong.  Truth will emerge.  There will be moments of clarity for those Ugandans and their international friends, who insist on  truth, honesty, peace and justice for all women and men everywhere...and for those of us who are ¨angry about racism, sexism, homophobia¨ and are ¨particularly angry with ´Christians´ who use our faith to oppose caring for the least among us and who bully, lie, and hate in the name of Christ¨  wherever that lack of ¨caring¨ occurs HERE  there will be awareness eventually even if it´s truly ¨one day at a time.¨

Anglican LGBTI ¨excluding/excommunicating¨  Gafconing schismatic, Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi/Uganda, 

Pentecostal Pastor Martin Ssempa
For years the ¨religious zealots,¨ who are mainly Protestant, Anglican, Catholic, Muslim have been terrorizing their very own LGBTI members, brothers and sisters and fellow citizens in Uganda...all in the name of a religious fear and hate driven campaign for LGBTI cleansing from society and a better-than-others  fictional righteousness that is degenerative even to the most disciplined puritanish perfectionist soul. 

Uganda is a haven for vertical corruption in Government, Civil War, Childwitchburning, Sexual Slavery all under the tightest possible control of a ¨Democratic¨ and elected Military man/Anglican President who is running for re-election in 2011 (after changing the Constitution to lawfully allow another term in office). 


In the past years we´ve seen and noted that ¨righteous¨ President Museveni and his ¨extra-righteous¨ wife Janet often make outlandish and emotionally charged, hateful public, religiouslike remarks regarding ¨Gay¨ people:

¨In God's word, homosexuality attracts a curse, but now people are engaging in it and saying they are created that way. It is for money The devil is stoking fires to destroy our nation and those taking advantage are doing so because our people are poor," HERE

The Official FACE of the Ugandan National Spiritual Sickness
The Ugandan National prattle/slander goes on and on and also spews forth from the mouths of religious leaders like Anglican Archbishop Henry Orombi and Pentecostal Pastor Martin Ssempa. Meanwhile many Ugandans and people of the World wonder why/how:

 ¨how is it possible for anyone who calls him/herself a disciple of Christ, a disciple of the One Who commanded us to love and not judge others, to call him/herself a "Christian" and yet affirm prejudice and discrimination that leads to the untold suffering of countless LGBT people?

The fact is that there are thugs who call themselves Christians, and are given tacit, if not explicit, permission to manifest that thuggery by all too many denominations and congregations, all the while falsely appealing to the Bible and to God to justify their hateful prejudices.¨ HERE

This week, in the United States, the very large Protestant Church ¨Canyon Ridge Christian¨ spokesperson Mitch Harris made the following announcement in regard to withdrawing major support for extremist Pastor Ssempa because of his toxic anti-LGBT antics/preaching/pogrom:

Canyon Ridge Christian Church began work in Uganda with the intent of helping address the HIV/AIDS pandemic that was wiping out generations of people in that country and other parts of Africa. Our partnership with Pastor Martin Ssempa began in response to this intent.


Because of the current controversy in Uganda over the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, and because of Pastor Ssempa’s involvement in the support of the bill, we have been in regular communication with him to clarify his positions and opinions. While we have come to understand that Pastor Ssempa advocates for an amended version of the Anti-Homosexuality bill that removes the death penalty and reduces other severe penalties, he is still supports passage of this bill.


We, however, do not support him in this effort. HERE

One can hope that Global South Anglican destructionist Henry Orombi will soon understand that no matter the ¨Western¨ backing from which he receives patronage ($$$) from schismatics, bigots and thieves he will too one day understand the core of visciousness and excluding he preaches in Uganda is unacceptable. HERE  Unacceptable to most civilized, educated, informed, or simply well-meaning and God loving human beings in Uganda and beyond.

ANGLICAN MP DAVID BAHATI, of Uganda´s parliament, introduced the bill that would penalize homosexuality with life imprisonment or death and unleashed ¨crackling fury¨ against innocents...


¨Willful Ignorance¨ threatens the everyday lives of persecuted LGBT Ugandans, their family, their friends and their spiritual counselors such as heterosexual  Bishop Christopher Ssenyonjo (¨National Scandal¨ right) who has been demonized and excommunicated by Anglican Archbishop Henry Orombi for ¨ministering¨ to  desperate LGBT Anglicans/others

Anglican MP David Bahati, spiritually counseled by Bishop Orombi

¨On October 14, 2009, a Ugandan member of parliament named David Bahati introduced legislation called the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Among its provisions: up to three years in prison for failure to report a homosexual; seven years for "promotion"; life imprisonment for a single homosexual act; and for "aggravated homosexuality" (which includes gay sex while HIV-positive, gay sex with a disabled person, or, if you're a recidivist, gay sex with anyone — marking the criminal as a "serial offender"), death.

As of this writing the bill has yet to pass, despite near unanimous support in Parliament


But the violence has been building, a crackling fury not yet quite a fire: beatings, disappearances, "corrective" rapes of lesbians, blacklists in a national tabloid, vigilante squads and church crusades, preachers calling out "homos" in their own pews. HERE

Reverend Christopher Ssenyonjo, at The Center for Democratic Progress in Washington D.C. is Spiritual Counselor to LGBT Ugandans, their families/ friends and was excommunicated by Archbishop Orombi for his ministry to the suicidal, the persecuted, the outcasts and the marginalized at The Body of Christ in Uganda

ARCHBISHOP OROMBI/UGANDA: Homophobia is bullying. You have to wake up to this fact or stain your body and Soul with the blood of LGBT Anglicans/others...hear our prayer

Anglican Bully Archbishop Henry Luke Oromi/Uganda, Global South perpetrator of ¨willful ignorance¨
Remember: ignorance is bad enough. WILLFUL ignorance is the most dangerous form of ignorance there is. it has wiped out millions, and will do it again if we don't pay attention.

Anglican Bully and Member of Uganda Parliament,  David Bahati, author of ¨Kill the Gays¨ Bill  (which is still alive in the Parliament and President Museveni is prepared to use it, as needed, for his upcoming reelection)
Genocide Via Homophobia: Uganda Evil In The Making

¨Particularly in the light of this thread dealing with the suicide of that college student, I thought this particular story NEEDED to be brought up. There are those who have said that trying to explain homophobia to those who don't understand that fear and shame is a waste of time. That may be so, but I still think it doesn't hurt to try. Because, if we can get through to SOME folks, we will have achieved a LOT. It's better to try than do nothing at all.

We have seen this before. 6 million Jews were exterminated in World War 2, simply for being Jewish
This story is a tale of how homophobia can be taken to its ultimate extreme. . Now, apply this to gays and lesbians. The seed is there for this kind of hatred to sprout forward. Fortunately, we do have laws in many places to curb this kind of hatred. But imagine laws that ENCOURAGE this type of hatred.¨


¨The late-November afternoon sun bore down on the park in downtown Kampala, and all along the benches, Ugandan office workers took their siestas. There could have been no less likely setting for criminal conspiracies to topple an East African state. Still, the doctor's voice dropped a notch when an office worker in a brown suit settled in close by. The medic shifted a battered fedora over his eyes. "I am the gay doctor," the physician whispered to me, making sure nobody around heard. He talked about the gay and lesbian couples who go to his office to avoid ridicule in public hospitals. "They know they can trust me, and trust is a big issue," he said. "There is the stigma of being gay, but also the stigma of being [HIV] positive. They are such hidden communities. Nobody wants to deal with their problems."


In a matter of weeks, the Ugandan doctor's admission to TIME could land him in jail and his patients on death row. An anti-homosexuality bill now before Uganda's Parliament would include some of the harshest anti-gay regulations in the world. If the bill becomes law, the doctor, who asked that his name not be published, could be prosecuted for "aiding and abetting homosexuality." In one version of the bill, his sexually active HIV-positive patients could be found guilty of practicing acts of "aggravated homosexuality," a capital crime, according to the bill.¨ HERE

Uganda's Anti-Gay Bill: Inspired by the U.S.

¨The bill has an American genesis of sorts, inspired to a large extent by the visits of U.S. evangelicals who are involved with a movement that promotes Christianity's role in getting homosexuals to become "ex-gays" through prayer and faith. Ugandan supporters of the bill appear to be particularly impressed by the ideas of Scott Lively, a California conservative preacher who has written a book, The Pink Swastika, about what he calls the links between Nazism and a gay agenda for world domination, which, by itself, would have raised the anti-colonial sensitivities of Ugandan society. Says the Rev. Kapya Kaoma, an Episcopalian priest from Zambia who authored a recent report on anti-gay politics in Uganda, Nigeria and Kenya: "The U.S. culture wars have been exported to Africa."

A Litany for children who have died from bullying

--by Kirkepiscatoid

O God of justice and mercy, we pray that no more daughters and sons in this world die as the result of bullying simply because of who they are; be it race, religion, sexual orientation, or social awkwardness. Lord, in your mercy,

hear our prayer.

That our schools become places of nurturing and hope rather than shame and derision. Lord, in your mercy,

hear our prayer.

That our teachers instill values of charity and acceptance in all children so there is no need for one child to feel superior over another. Lord, in your mercy,

hear our prayer.

That parents can put aside what they were sometimes taught, in order to promote tolerance and diversity at home. Lord, in your mercy,

hear our prayer.

That our communities support children who feel “different from the others” and show them lives that are theirs to claim, lives they cannot begin to imagine to see at home. Lord, in your mercy,

hear our prayer.

That all children can grow up feeling self-empowered and truly loved simply as themselves, and not suffer beatings and psychological abuse at home or school. Lord, in your mercy,

hear our prayer.

O Lord, you understand this above all others, for your only Son hung among thieves on a rough wooden cross on a barren hill, just as Matthew Shepard hung from a rail fence on a lonely road. Be our light in the darkness, Lord; protect our children and fill them with the love of your Holy Spirit; hold them in your Son’s loving arms in their most fearful hours, and be with them always.HERE

Amen.

RUB A DUB DUB: Are unprincipled and crafty fellows in Uganda being ¨turned out/away¨ by President Museveni?

The President of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni

Is President Yoweri Museveni CLEANING HOUSE in UGANDA?

Rub a dub dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker.
Turn them out, knaves all three.


The Butcher:

David Bahati’s Plan for Genocide

MP David Bahati, Budding Butcher and author of the ¨Kill The Gays¨ Bill before the Parliament of Uganda.

Bahati said ‘If you come here, you’ll see homosexuals from Europe and America are luring our children into homosexuality by distributing cell phones and iPods and things like this,’” Sharlet recounts. “And he said, ‘And I can explain to you what I really want to do.’”

Sharlet accompanied Bahati to a restaurant, and later to his home, where Bahati told Sharlet that he wanted “to kill every last gay person.” HERE

The Baker:

MP James Nsaba Buturo, Money scandal pops up at Ethics Ministry

Minister of Ethics and Integrity, ¨Cooking the Books?¨ MP James Nsaba Buturo.

Senior officials at the directorate of Ethics and Integrity spend public money without accountability, an audit brief has revealed. The officials, whose job is to champion of ethics and integrity in the country, stealthily banked office imprest into their personal accounts.

The officials also spent Shs672.8 million between April and June in marathon workshops to exhaust the budget before the end of last financial year on June 30.

The money was drawn from Bank of Uganda without approval from the accounting officer, documents reveal.

Dr James Nsaba Buturo, the Ethics and Integrity Minister whose docket is to supervise the directorate, yesterday confirmed there were accountability issues in his backyard. HERE

UPDATE: Buturo's Last Grasp at Hate

Dr. James Nsaba Buturo, Uganda's Minister for Ethics and Integrity, was recently defeated in primary elections. Buturo was one of the key players in promoting the Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009 which included death penalty provisions. In forcing his theocratic agenda on Uganda, Buturo has often blurred the lines between church and state. In a last grasp at hate before he leaves office, Buturo is pushing an anti-pornography law targeting homosexuals HERE

·Archbishop Henry Orombi/Uganda, pushing for exclusion of LGBT Anglicans/others while pandering to ´instruments¨ of deadly bigotry at The African Anglican Bishops Conference, Entebbe, Uganda

¨The meeting of African Bishops in Entebbe, Uganda has not surprisingly, been used to reaffirm the church’s homophobic stance. The bishops spoke about “African Values” and “alien beliefs”. Since the rights of LGBTI people are being denied this implies that the notion of ‘human rights’ is not part of our values and beliefs. The hatred expressed through homophobia and criminalisation also implies that the idea of people’s humanity is not part of our values and beliefs... HERE
