Ugandan ¨Ethics¨ Minister Says God Against Gays, Calls For Witch Hunt James Nsaba Buturo simply can't help himself! The Ugandan "Ethics" Minister, who has long pledged to fight the
homosexual scourge besieging his homeland, recently insisted that anti-gay activists shouldn't fear violent repercussions because God's on their side:
¨Dr Buturo told Africa's Sunday Monitor that there is no need to beef up security for anti-gay activists in Uganda because God is protecting them.¨
"It's true gays are rough people but men of God should not fear their intimidation. Ugandans should strengthen their mobilisation against the gay movement because the government is also committed to support them," he said.
Buturo also spoke about how the gays have infiltrated local schools and are "
luring" students to the
lavender side.
The government and loyalists, said Buturo, should begin compiling a list of
suspected queer interlopers and, you know, have a good, old fashioned witch hunt: "I appeal to the
investigative arms of the government to quickly compile reports of such students and their schools so that tough action is taken against them."

¨The Minister of Ethics and Integrity,
Dr. James Nsaba Buturo has today told a conference organized to discuss the ways to
fight Homosexuality that he will soon submit a bill on pornography and homosexuality for discussion in Parliament.
The conference that took place at Parliament was organized by Defend the Family International, an organization in the United States of America that was formed to
fight homosexuality.¨
A bizarre trio of American anti-gay leaders arrived in the Ugandan capital of Kampala Thursday to stage a three-day seminar, “Exposing the Truth Behind Homosexuality and the Homosexual Agenda,” in a country where homosexuality is a crime punishable by death. They are, click here:¨Buturo says the he will present the bill against pornography first before presenting that against homosexuality though he declines to mention exactly when these bills will be presented to Parliament.
He says pornography is partly a cause of homosexuality since it negatively affects the morals of the victims of pornography and makes them easily susceptible to the vice of homosexuality.¨ 
¨Ethics¨ Minister
Buturo to present larger ANTI-LGBT legislation that he hopes will assist in
sensitizing schools and churches in the fight against homosexuality.
¨He says the provision in the
penal code on homosexuality is too small to cover all concerns in homosexuality.
Buturo says the government will not only end at making laws against homosexuality but will also engage
in sensitizing schools and churches in the fight against this vice.¨

¨The President of Defend the Family International,
Scott Lively says it is good for the government of Uganda to
criminalize homosexuality but the government should subject the criminals of homosexuality to a
therapy rather than imprisoning them.¨
¨I am not sick Mr. Lively¨ read it all, click here:¨
Lively says this is aimed at the
criminals recovering from homosexuality which is the main objective of those fighting homosexuality and not to punish homosexuals through imprisonment. He says even schools should borrow this idea of therapy in dealing with gay students.¨

Whether it is the gay agenda wrapped in the Nazi supremacy, or the macho gay men who caused the Rwanda Genocide. Anything that seems to question his theory is attacked, dismissed, irrelevant.

Scott Lively´s anti-gay Holocaust revisionism: ¨To me, one of the more sinister aspects of AFA's ideology is its association with anti-gay Holocaust revisionism -- the belief, promoted throughout the hard right, that not only were gay people not targeted by the Nazis, but that they were the primary mover behind Nazism. One of the most important proponents of this view is Scott Lively, AFA's California state director and co-author of a book called "The Pink Swastika." I quote Lively's work in my forthcoming book, "Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism" (which, in the name of self-promotion, I'm going to note is available for pre-order at Amazon.com):
Mr. Lively states in his book: "Like their Nazi predecessors, today's homosexualists lack any scruples. Homosexuality is primarily a predatory addiction striving to take the weak and unsuspecting down with it. The 'gay' agenda is a colossal fraud; a gigantic robbery of the mind. Homosexuals of the type described in this book have no true idea of how to act in the best interests of their country and fellow man. Their intention is to serve none but themselves." read the entire critique by author/historian Michelle Goldberg of Mr. Lively´s revisionist ideas (quoted in this paragraph) accusing Gays of being the ¨movers behind Nazism¨ click here:

The group, to be called the

The Nigerian government tried to criminalize the freedom of association and assembly for Gay people and their Straight friends three years ago, but couldn’t get the bill through Parliament after an international outcry, including by the U.S. State Department under President Bush and Secretary Condoleeza Rice. Now we have a new administration that’s up to its eyeballs in economic worries, so the Nigerian government, in collaboration with the Anglican and Catholic churches, is trying again.

Rev Patrick Alumake told the National Assembly the top leadership of the Catholic church in Nigeria supported the bill wholeheartedly.

Expel the Nigerian Church - Time to Move On
Nigeria is clearly a place obsessed by homosexuality, no matter what else is going on that troubles that land. On top of laws already existing to outlaw homosexuality, it would outlaw "homosexual marriage", so it seems much of this would be to allow police to harass people who are suspected of simply living together in a relationship and to imprison both them and anyone who helps them.
It is law making that is clearly discriminatory in the sense known in the early days of Nazi power - wide scale, easy to pursue, easy to enforce, scare-based law making that really turns law into a harassment and police as an agent of thuggery. It even uses the word holocaust in its attack on gay people, twisting this historical tragedy against groups and individuals into something against the Nigerian State.
If there is no prospect of gay partnerships in law the alternative is leaving people alone, of live and let live. This is precisely the opposite and reflects a society that doesn't have its priorities right, is obsessed, sacred of its fears, and looking for scapegoats and victims." read it all, there is more, click hereTHURSDAY AFTERNOON CHALLENGES FROM CHANGING ATTITUDES on NIGERIAN ANTI-LGBT LEGISLATION "Same Gender Marriage (Prohibition) Act and the Church of Nigeria’s position paper."

incoherently bigoted about gay people, you're wrong.

Homosexuality is already illegal in Nigeria, of course, as is gay marriage. But the proposed law would provide three years in jail for gay couples who got married, and five years for any witnesses. Earlier drafts have proposed long jail sentences, also, for anyone who argues in favour of gay marriage."
If ever a law were a simple incitement to hate, this is it, and here is Archbishop Akinola of the Church of Nigeria cheering them on:
Same sex marriage, apart from being ungodly, is unscriptural, unnatural, unprofitable, unhealthy, un-cultural, un-African and un-Nigerian. It is a perversion, a deviation and an aberration that is capable of engendering moral and social holocaust in this country. It is also capable of existincting [sic] mankind and as such should never be allowed to take root in Nigeria. Outlawing it is to ensure the continued existence of this nation.

"God Grant Me the Serenity, to accept the things I can NOT change, the courage to change the things I CAN and the WISDOM to know the difference." Emphasis on wisdom, it's a responsible "first person" kind of thing to do to keep a eye on ones own personal character and will help you exclude
fear and hate-mongering tangents/obsessions or "fund raising" activities that exploit others from your recovery from active alcoholism...only a suggestion, I've been sober for 30+ years, thanks be to God, and it's worked well for me to keep my eye on my "
less than attractive/unwholesome" character defects. I strongly encourage you to do the same and
STOP pontificating about other peoples ill-character (that is, the bad character that
YOU perceive it to be).*
Are you on a dry, egodriven, fear/hatedriven drunk?
Holocaust revisionist Scott Lively offered a defense of his proposal to compel Ugandan gays and lesbians into forced therapy:
"And remember that homosexuality is literally illegal in this country. Imagine how bad things would be if the criminal law were abandoned. By the way, the false accusation against me, now circulating in the US, is that I called on the Ugandan government to force homosexuals into therapy. What I actually said is that the law against homosexuality should be liberalized to give arrestees the choice of therapy instead of imprisonment,
similar to the therapy option I chose after being arrested for drunk driving in 1985 (during which time I accepted the Lord and was healed and transformed into a Christian activist)." [Emphasis in the original]
Lively’s analogy is appalling. A conviction for drunk driving in any U.S. state is nothing like being convicted for homosexuality in Uganda, which carries a penalty of spending the remainder of one’s life in a dank Ugandan prison. And a “choice” between spending the rest of your life in that cold, dark cell and undergoing an unproven, unregulated therapy is not a choice. Lively can dress it up all he wants, but forced therapy is forced therapy.
Exodus International waited nearly a week before announcing that they no longer support the criminalization of homosexuality or forcing people into therapy. We are still waiting for Exodus to explicitly denounce Scott Lively after Exodus board member lent his credibility to Lively’s proposal at the Ugandan conference while remaining silent in Uganda over this proposal. read it all, click here :IMPORTANT UPDATE A WEEK LATERWHAT HAS AFRICA DONE TO ORGANISED RELIGION TO DESERVE THIS?
Al-quaeda is not the only threat to our future freedom
The recent declaration made by the Roman Catholic Pope on the use of condoms while on his way to Africa has caused widespread hue and cry against a church that faithfully supports outmoded principles, no matter how harsh the consequences may be. But the Catholic Church is not the only culprit. At a time when Africa is plagued by social injustices, health disasters and governance issues, do we really need religious leaders crusading for ideological prescriptions that could spell enormous setbacks to health and human rights achievements? The Nigerian Anglican Archbishop has also prayed for the brutalisation of other humans to promote his ideology in a backdrop of Islamist extremism.¨ read it all, click here:Thanks to Gay Uganda, at the right sidebar
