Frightening National Self-Deception: Uganda holds a reputation for being beautiful, peaceful, hospitable, a haven for tourists and investors; the 'Pearl of Africa'.

¨...I am kind of glad. Because, for once, we are beginning to debate, even in the media, and honestly, the unthinking hatred that Ugandans have for us, gay Ugandans.

What do you want Uganda to be famous for?

Uganda holds a reputation for being beautiful, peaceful, hospitable, a haven for tourists and investors; the 'Pearl of Africa'.

Recently Uganda has been making headlines. On the February 14, 2011, the BBC aired a documentary, The world's worst place to be gay. Gay DJ Scott Mills travelled to Uganda, spoke with people on the streets of Kampala, asking their opinion on homosexuals, and some of the responses were, "I hate them"; "they should be killed", and "it's disgusting".

Mills visited a gay bar in Kampala where men spoke of the fear they live in. One young lesbian told him that she had been raped in an attempt to cure her of her orientation, leaving her pregnant and HIV-infected.

Then came his encounter with legislator David Bahati, who, Mills says, wanted him arrested. The documentary focused on the alleged institutionalisation of homophobia in Uganda, the belief that it can be cured and the negative opinions that many hold on it.

Incidentally, some are proud of the image the documentary portrayed of Ugandan society. Kampala based graduate Nicholas Bainomugisha said, "I am glad that the BBC have shown such a programme; it shows the world that we will not accept such ungodly behaviour."

Manchester based business manager, Flora Namirembe, was also impressed by the hard-line opinions of Ugandans interviewed.

"Why should Ugandans have to hide their opinions because the West does not like it?" she said...read it all,  HERE

NO FAULT HATE-MONGERING IN UGANDA: Murderous Anglican bigshots are innocent of harming LGBTI innocents!

Anglican MP David Bahati has authored ¨Kill all the Gays¨ Bill before Parliament in Uganda but is not responsible for public violence against LGBTI in Uganda

Giles Muham is editor of the murder ¨suggesting¨ Ugandan tabloid ¨Rolling Stone¨

Giles Muhame/editor, the anti-lgbti filth spewing Ugandan tabloid rag Rolling Stone doesn´t believe any ¨hang them¨ violence directed against Ugandas Gay Community is his fault!

It appears the Uganda newspaper Rolling Stone's attempt to incite violence against its Top 100 list of homos is working: "Several people have been attacked in Uganda after a local newspaper published their names and photos, saying they were homosexual, an activist has told the BBC. Frank Mugisha said one woman was almost killed after her neighbours started throwing stones at her house. He said most of those whose names appeared in Uganda's Rolling Stone paper had been harassed." Not that backers of the two-month-old Rolling Stone are taking responsibility: Editor Giles Muhame says that despite a call to "hang" the people on his list, he wants only for law enforcement to investigate those "recruiting children to homosexuality." And then execute the guilty. HERE

¨The Red Pepper¨ slime tabloid, rumored to be owned by a member of President Museveni´s family

VIOLENCE AGAINST ´GAYS´ IN UGANDA ISN´T BISHOP OROMBI´S or PRESIDENT MUSEVENI´S or MP/FIRST LADY JANET MUSEVENI´S or MP/MORALS MINISTER JAMES NASBA BUTURO´S or MP DAVID BAHATI´S FAULT! GENERATING AN EPIDEMIC FEAR AND HATE CAMPAIGN AGAINST LGBTI CITIZENS  IS NOBODYS FAULT IN UGANDA!

Violence against LGBT Ugandans isn´t Anglican President Museveni´s fault

Violence instigated against ¨Evil Gays in Uganda¨ isn´t LGBTI demonizing First Lady Janet Museveni´s fault



Initiating the Outcasting, Demonizing and Excommunicating of LGBTI Anglicans,  our families and our friends isn´t Bishop Henry Orombi´s fault!

Endorsing and Promoting the Murderous Anti-LGBTI Law before Parliament in Uganda is certainly not James Buturo´s fault because he is Minister of Ethics and Morals
