We’ve talked here in the past about violence against homosexuals in Africa, but I don’t think I’ve ever shared video of those so-called Christians who are largely to blame. Here, with that in mind, is footage of a religious leader in Uganda, where the death penalty is currently being considered for gays. I’d like to think this is satire, but I’m told that it’s real… And, yeah, I know that it’s hilarious how he repeatedly says that gays “eat da poo poo,” but this really is a serious issue that demands international attention. People are being murdered.
PS… I should point out that it’s not just Christians demonizing the gay in Africa. Muslim religious leaders are doing it as well. It appears that it’s one thing that both groups can agree on.

As you mention, it’s easy to laugh at this guy, but we shouldn’t lose sight of the bigger issue, which is that people are dying in Uganda as a result of these campaigns, which are being funded by US churches.
Perhaps you might be interested in my post on the recent gay marriage controversy in Malawi.

Let’s not forget that blacks have tails and Jews eat babies.
Dr. Ssempa wrote the following letter to Rick Warren, defending Uganda’s anti-gay legislation. He says, among other things, that the death penalty is only for extreme cases of “aggravated homosexuality”:

I have to say this is not the root of anti-gay sentiment in Africa, but rather a convenient means of consolidating power by religious groups in these regions. Anti-gay sentiment has existed for years before this in all of its disgusting forms.
Religious groups in Africa are perhaps the most insidious form of colonialism on the planet. When I was in Malawi, it seemed that 80% of white people had some form of religious agenda that they wished to impose on the savage and deprived natives. While some aim to help, I couldn’t help but sensing incredible arrogance from others. One has to wonder if they feel at least somewhat powerless in the economically privileged US.
Ssempa is a disgusting human being, through and through, however.
Maybe Ted Haggard could go to Africa and cure the gays.
He’s right. We shouldn’t be giving any Africans the human right of eating da poo poo. That’s completely aside from the issue, though, as I know plenty of gay men and NONE of them eat da poo poo.
God loves everyone as one. Never make any different in man or woman. He say in the Bible that we should love our neighbour as ourselves. He makes it know that every individual that we have the right to choose what we want. Why being GAY now stand as taboo for Africans. One’s man meat is another man poison. I know what I want not what you want to take and accepted.
Leave God to judge the gays.
Thank you, shawla taewo.
