Re: 'Should homosexuals be executed?' asks BBC

Not really, it's a scandalous distraction from a genuine and extremely worrying development. A lot of the BBC's HYS stuff is pandering to morons, which is apparently more important than, say, investigating the news. It's cheaper, I suppose.
Try quoting some of the other questions asked by the article...
"Has Uganda gone too far? Should there be any level of legislation against homosexuality? Should homosexuals be protected by legislation as they are in South Africa? What would be the consequences of this bill to you? How will homosexual 'offences' be monitored? Send us your views."

That does a fairly good job of putting some context into the original statement. Also, this is an extra to the news. Not the news itself. Much like those bits on Breakfast TV where they ask people to email in with their comments.

Another problem, of course, the problem is that this whole idiocy is linked to evangelical Christianity, which hates teh gayz.
Not all christians are like that..
