LGBT MURDER/CLEANSING ALERT: ¨Christmas Genocide Gift to Christians in Uganda¨ -- Anglican MP David Bahati´s ¨Kill the Gays¨ Bill to be passed quickly to ¨satisfy local clergy¨



RESENTMENT? Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga/Uganda, recently returned from international conference in Canada where she and her government in Uganda were challenged on extreme and deadly pending legislation on anti-LGBT issues.  http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/10/31/1117031/ugandan-parliament-speaker-pushes-for-kill-the-gays-bill/
¨The Associated Press reports that according to Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga, Uganda's long-pending "Kill The Gays" genocide bill will be passed by the end of the year. Local clergy have petitioned the government, demanding the bill's passage as a "Christmas gift to Christians."

Religious lust for LGBT genocide in Uganda

Ugandans "are demanding it," she said, reiterating a promise she made before a meeting on Friday of anti-gay activists who spoke of "the serious threat" posed by homosexuals to Uganda's children. Some Christian clerics at the meeting in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, asked the speaker to pass the law as "a Christmas gift."

"Speaker, we cannot sit back while such (a) destructive phenomenon is taking place in our nation," the activists said in a petition. "We therefore, as responsible citizens, feel duty-bound to bring this matter to your attention as the leader of Parliament ... so that lawmakers can do something to quickly address the deteriorating situation in our nation."

The anti-gay activists paraded in front of Kadaga, with parents and schoolchildren holding up signs saying homosexuality is "an abomination." The speaker then promised to consider the bill within two weeks, declaring that "the power is in our hands. Who are we not to do what they have told us? These people should not be begging us," Kadaga said of activists who want the bill to become law.
While the above-linked AP report claims that the bill "originally mandated death for some gay acts," in fact the bill does continue to call for the death penalty for "serial offenders." Box Turtle Bulletin notes that according to Clause One of the act, a "serial offender" is defined as a someone who has "previous convictions of the offence of homosexuality or related offences." In other words, a second conviction brings the death penalty. And those "related offenses" include renting a room to a gay person or failing to inform the government that someone they know is gay, meaning that a straight person could also suffer the "gay death penalty..."

NO SALE: ¨“I’m disturbed by the news that Uganda is considering going ahead with a measure that denies the humanity of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.”

Anglican Member of Parliament David Bahati, author of ¨Kill the Gays¨ legislation and ¨C Street Family¨  affiliate
Anglican Archbishop Henry Orombi, supporter of  ¨anti-LGBT¨ legislation and ¨spiritual counselor¨ to David Bahati and  ¨C Street¨ extended family member
Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) has issued a statement condemning Uganda’s moves against the LGBT community

“I’m disturbed by the news that Uganda is considering going ahead with a measure that denies the humanity of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.”

“I was pleased when the Financial Services Committee overwhelmingly, in a bipartisan way, voted in favor of my amendment urging the Secretary of the Treasury to oppose any financial assistance from multilateral development institutions to countries that persecute people on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity or religious beliefs. In the discussion of the amendment I offered, I specifically mentioned the deeply troubling case of Uganda, which is now considering legislation to legally deprive people of these basic human rights.”

“If the bill before the Ugandan parliament becomes law, it must be the policy of the United States government to oppose any aid to Uganda from the World Bank, the African Development Bank, or any other international financial institution of which we are a member.” HERE


Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill is far from dead HERE

The ¨spiritual counselor¨ of Anglican MP David Bahati (author anti-LGBT bill before Parliament) is Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi according to Jeff Sharlet, author of ¨The Family¨...both +Orombi and MP Bahati are ¨extended¨ members of the Washington D.C. ¨C¨ Street Family.

Jeff Sharlet: In the last ten years, The Family has poured millions into “leadership development” in Uganda, more than it has invested in any other foreign country

Jeff Sharlet: “The kill-the-gays bill wasn’t conceived at C Street or the Cedars. The Uganda Fellowship that launched the bill was. The Family didn’t pull the trigger; they provided the gun.” HERE

Breaking: Ugandan Parliament stalled on technicality, fate of anti-gay bill uncertain; Parliament adjourned sine die
