The African nation of Uganda has presumably had a law on the books for some time that makes homosexuality illegal, but it took a 2009 speaking engagement by conservative Christian Evangelical Scott Lively of Abiding Truth Ministries to stir the hornet’s nest into a furious hive of hatred. After Lively stirred the pot, Uganda is taking one more look at the penalty by law. Life in jail or death for being gay in Uganda may become the lawful prescription. Based on the world documentary service Vanguard, Lively’s talk on "the gay agenda" lit the powder keg.
Courts say that outing gays in the press can't take place
Outing homosexuals within the Ugandan Rolling Stones, BBC News accounts, a Ugandan court rules is not okay. The United States of America Rolling Stone has no connection to it though. The publication had been working on publishing names and photos of the gays. These were just states though. Those outed by Rolling Stone Uganda begun getting attacked publicly. This is why the gay rights group Sexual Minorities Uganda asked the practice be stopped. One article had a terrible title. The title "Hang them" was extremely offensive. Stopping the Rolling Stone outing practice had been what the judge who heard the case thought ought to occur. The title of the Uganda magazine is something the American Rolling Stone magazine doesn't appreciate. This is why the publisher is attempting to get the one in Uganda to have a name change.
Alan Colmes spoke with Lively who said it was not alright to kill homosexuals
Scott Lively was on the Colmes radio show excerpted on Queerty where he said that Uganda is "a Christian country" and also said he does not approve of killing or imprisoning homosexuals. Bestiality and pedophilia are the very same as homosexuality, Lively states. This is his opinion on it all. Things such as pedophilia being "mortal sins" are still being discussed though. Apparently the Hebrews only got hot under the collar over it if the perpetrator failed to put a ring on it, metaphorically speaking.
