sparkindarknessAn Anglican Vicar, in the UK, sees the point in Uganda's law. You see, the fact that Ms Ladele wants to impose her religious views on people accessing government services means that Ugandans should look at the terrible state we have reached (preventing civil servants applying their bigotry to their jobs! How shocking!) and of course that would prompt not only keeping homosexuality illegal - but also punishing gays with life imprisonment and execution
I say again, the victories to secure our existance are relatively recent. There are still truly hateful bigots like this man left in the country pushing against our rights to exist and survive, championing the desire to hate, fighting for bigotry in law and through the nation. That is deeply frightening and reminds us that we can't stop working to protect ourselves
To add to further grief Rwandar is likely to vote on criminalising homosexuality. Yet more religious ties with the west. We have a long way to go for freedom and equality - or even the right to exist.
