Those protesting assholes up there, including one wearing what appears to be a Green Goblin mask, are marching in support of a bill in Uganda that would make being homosexual a crime punishable by death by hanging in some cases. That sign says, "Homosexuality is as ugly as the Devil". (It also seems to express a desire to see the musical Wicked. Could someone give Mary some tickets?)
That language sounds awfully familiar. The New York Times reports that, surprise, surprise, one of the things that stoked the anti-gay fervor in already repressive Uganda was a three-day seminar held by three American "missionaries" from groups trying to stop the "gay agenda," which seems to be an easy way for these men to deny they're thinking, "Hey, that dude's hot. I wish to suck his cock."
According to the Times, "The visitors discussed how to make gay people straight, how gay men often sodomized teenage boys and how 'the gay movement is an evil institution' whose goal is 'to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity.'"
One of the repressed cocksuckers is Scott Lively, who heads the group Defend the Family (motto: "Me and my laptop are an organization, right?") and who has "published" books on subjects like how the Nazis were really gay-loving and how to stop your child from being indoctrinated into homosexuality. Lively says that the Times is "twisting" the "facts" about the proposed Ugandan law and his possible influence, and he has said that he doesn't support the bill, even as he says it's being misrepresented.
Lively also writes this, a nominee for the most lie-filled, dickish thing said in 2010: "It should be no surprise, therefore, that modern Ugandans are very unhappy that homosexual political activists from Europe and the United States are working aggressively to re-homosexualize their nation. Ugandan citizens report a growing number of foreign homosexual men coming to their country to turn desperately poor young men from the slums into their personal houseboys, and that some girls in public schools have being paid to recruit others into lesbianism. Foreign interests have exerted intense pressure on Uganda’s government to compromise its laws regarding sexual morality, often using their control over foreign aid funding for leverage." The Rude Pundit loves the term "re-homosexualize" and thinks any time two people of the same sex are going for round 2 in the sack, they should refer to it as such.
The other two Americans, Caleb Lee Brundidge and Don Schmierer, who think homosexuality can be "cured," are in "hominah-hominah" mode now. However, according to the Guardian back in November, "Both opponents and supporters agree that the impetus for the more hardline law came in March during a seminar in Kampala" held by the threesome.
Sorry, motherfuckers. Words have meaning. If you call gays "evil," well, as we know in these times o' terror, "evil" must be defeated. And, really, in this case, who are the terrorists?
Note: The post title is purely speculative. The Rude Pundit does not know where to find Idi Amin's femur.
