Guilty - for being gay.

Does anyone read the Globe and Mail? If you don’t normally, you should take some time and pick it up today. I will now explain why.

On the front cover I usually find articles about politics that revolve around tax, debt, budget… money.

People who have done remarkable things; cops, volunteers…

Today, however, I pick up the paper to read that in Uganda it is ACTUALLY being considered that you could be sentenced to life imprisonment for being gay. In 2009? Basically 2010.

Is this a joke?

Furthermore, you would be sentenced to 3 years in jail if you don’t report someone you “know to be homosexual” within 24 hours.

Oh, and it gets better. Say if you DON’T know anyone Gay, but you like to have faith in FREEDOM OF CHOICE – you could find yourself in lock down for SEVEN YEARS, just for defending someone you don’t even know!

Their President hasn’t even shrugged! Not a peep. This has free reign to wander its way through parliament while these fascist assholes gladly welcome it – and the LEADER of the COUNTRY doesn’t even put out a statement.

“The sentence of life imprisonment will be issued upon anyone who penetrates the anus or mouth of another person of the same sex with his penis or any other sexual contraption

“He or she will also be sentenced for touching any other person wit the intention of committing the act of homosexuality.”

These poor people - It’s awful. It hurts my heart.

Want to know what’s most wonderful of all? They can’t even leave and do it somewhere else! This crime follows the gays of Uganda wherever they go, and forces them to continue to “abide” by this law.

Go read this article.
And then hope someone spontaneously combusted as a result of inner rage.
