Yes, those lovable do-gooder liberals are at it again, trying to prove that the right wing are full of frothing brain dead morons:

Let's face it. Homosexuals are not wilful criminals but unfortunate disabled people who cannot enjoy Nature's gift of attraction to and union with the opposite sex

It's a public service, y'know.

What a complete non-question.

There is a reason it's been posted

Quote:

But this is the reality behind an Anti-Homosexuality Bill being debated on Friday by the Ugandan parliament which would see some homosexual offences punishable by death.

The bill proposes:

Life imprisonment for those convicted of a homosexual act
The death sentence where the offender has HiV, is a "serial offender" or the other person is under 18.
Imprisonment for seven years for "attempted homosexuality."

" What a complete non-question. "

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.

Another problem, of course, the problem is that this whole idiocy is linked to evangelical Christianity, which hates teh gayz.

That's completely stupid.

Life imprisonment for being Homosexual?

and 'Attempted Homosexuality' ..

Most of all a death sentence for being gay.. It's just sick..

As much as I hate HYS, it's not a replacement for the BBC News Content. It's extra..

I'm evangelical and I don't know anyone at my church who hates gays. That's not what my church teaches.

Personally I'm of the opinion that if Uganda bring this hateful law into being, then Britain should look again at the ten year deal we have to pump Â£700m into their economy.

What do you expect from a country like that?? Being gay is not a crime, some of my mates are gay and I trust them with my life. I'd sooner be in a room full of gay people than a room full of straight people.

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.

Not all christians are like that..

That's a surprisingly ignorant comment from someone who normally prides himself on being so well-read on any subject he chooses to comment on.

Can I point out that this Ugandan law (the same as UK's original homosexual laws written during the victorian times) is aimed at gay males only. Apparently Victoria couldn't see the need for females to be included in the law...

Also I don't think it's anything about attraction or love towards a same sex partner but instead the act of sodomy concerning two males.

Most churches I know will welcome in gay couples who take a vow of abstainion from sex

But isn't what he said true of some evangelical Christianity? I also thought it was

But that's the thing, the bible says that a man will not lay with another man, they take that as an interpretation of sex and nothing else...

Anyway I'm just putting facts across and not my own viewpoint..
