I mean, nothing against same sex couples, don't care, but this shit in Uganda is on some other level of WTF.
Uganda to officially pass ‘Kill The Gays’ bill
Speaker Rebecca Kadaga has said 2009's Anti-Homosexuality Bill will become law by the end of 2012
Uganda will officially pass the ‘Kill The Gays’ bill at the end of this year despite international criticism.
Speaker Rebecca Kadaga said the anti-gay bill will become law by December since most Ugandans ‘are demanding it’.
Referring to the law as a ‘Christmas gift’ to the population, she spoke of ‘the serious threat’ posed by homosexuals.
The law will broaden the criminalization of same-sex relationships by dividing homosexuality into two categories; aggravated homosexuality and the offense of homosexuality.
‘Aggravated homosexuality’ is defined as gay acts committed by parents or authority figures, HIV-positive people, pedophiles and repeat offenders. If convicted, they will face the death penalty.
The ‘offense of homosexuality’ includes same-sex sexual acts or being in a gay relationship, and will be prosecuted by life imprisonment.
Originally put to government in 2009, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill had been temporarily shelved because of international criticism.
Several European countries have threatened to cut aid to Uganda if it passes, with the UK government warning Uganda it would face severe reductions in financial help.
US President Barack Obama has described it as ‘odious’, and Canadian politician John Baird has said it is ‘vile, abhorrent, and offends decency’.
Uganda lawmaker Atim Ogwal Cecilia Barbara has even suggested there should be a continent-wide ban on homosexuality, saying all African gay people should be jailed for life.
Gay rights activist David Kato was murdered in Uganda in January 2011 shortly after a local newspaper published images of him and other gay people under a headline urging readers to ‘hang them.’
Despite this, Uganda’s LGBT community held a weekend of gay pride events this summer.
According to a 2010 survey by The Pew Research Center, homosexuality is morally unacceptable to 89% of Ugandans.

It's been proposed by evangelicals in Uganda.
I'd bet a kabillion dollars that the North Amercian equivalents to those crazed theists are thinking that this bill is da shizzo, and, if "weren't so gaddamned PC over here" it would be a good idea to pass a similar bill into law.
The far Christian right in North American thinks the same way some of these fcked up 3rd world countries think, they just know that their position would be met with some serious opposition.
Trust me.

But seriously, places like Uganda need more gays.
More gays = fewer kids.
Not like Uganda needs people to continue procreating.

Hell, I'm sure there are people here who'd love it if we passed a law that'd make it legal to shoot gays on sight.
