Why is it that each time someone supports one's human right they are usually accused of being gay. I'm 100% straight and don't have any problem with gay people. I'ts everyone's right to do whatever they desire period. The anti-gay bill is very extreme and should be prevented at all cost. Thank you. - Teddy Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:43:39 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21871 Here in the U.S. we have just learned that Nsaba Buturo, David Bahati and President Museveni are all members of a radical right wing Christian organization known as The Family. This group concentrates on recruiting and financing politicians' campaigns in our country so that they will be in position to put forward their ultra conservative platforms like the homophobic laws they are backing in Uganda. It is being reported in our mainstream media that President Museveni was first recruited by The Family in 1986 and that the U.S. politicians who belong to The Family have been behind most of the financial aid Museveni has gotten from the U.S.. This aid has gone a long way towards keeping Museveni in power and subverting democratic development in Uganda. It is not the first time religion has spear headed colonialism but it seems it is the most recent. Beware Uganda! - mary Wed, 02 Dec 2009 06:06:29 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21854 Just how much are the gays and Lesbianspaying you for this effort?

I agree with you 300% - a_straight_GLBTsupporter Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:27:25 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21078 I wonder what Uganda will go through after the 'anti-gay bill is confirmed. I personally feel this bill will cause a lot of tension within our communities and might also lead to an increase in violence towards innocent people. I have nothing against gay people and what one does their bedrooms. Perhaps we should pay much attention on HIV/AIDS instead or risk being known as nazis. Uganda heavily depends on donors and i think the poor people will feel the pinch once they withdraw. - Diana Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:04:31 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21051 People have come out and tried to pump sense into the brains of these religious fundamentalists but they do not seem to get it. If this goes on, soon the only legal issues will be what they belief in and nothing else Dennis - Wamala Dennis Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:44:51 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21044 But Reverend, what is a "good" law for your purposes or a "bad" law, for that matter? I suspect that a religious conservative on the one hand and a laissez-faire liberal on the other may well come to different conclusions on that question, particularly where what is at stake is a law proscribing sexual acts between consenting adults of the same sex. If, as you accept, Uganda's laws reflect the overwhelmingly religious values of its electorate and its politicians feel obliged to thump the bible at every turn, to what extent is there a de facto religion of state (if not a de jure state religion)? - Omeros Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:38:47 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21027 Minister James Buturo and his anti-Gay circus/conference presented before the Parliament of Uganda isn´t a proud moment for pro-religious beliefs or emotionally stable sensibilities...it was a criminal act of deceit when setting up unqualified witnesses such as Scott Lively, the Holocaust denial revisionist and a handful of secondrate ex-gay blabbering con artists who HEAL LGBT people...who paid the expenses for this gangly group of exceedingly biased, and un-professional, bigots to come to Uganda and spout off? Archbishop Henri Orombi or President Museveni ought be embarrassed to be thought to be ANY PART of this hate-fearsmearing squad of extremist twits. - Leonardo Ricardo Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:11:22 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21012 On the other hand, Okello Lucima's article should make us reflect on the danger of creeping (resurgent?) extreme right-wing, fundamentalist religious attitudes whether Christian or Islamic that have rendered those who hold them intolerant of "difference" or "diversity". They want to enforce comformit to their views. They go on about an invasion of Western liberal morality or immorality in 'our society', sources of contamination and moral decadence. But we do not look at the opposite, which has also been invading Africa from outside. Religion - any religion or faith - is like fire or water. It can be life-giving or life destroying. This also applies to African Indigenous Traditions which many people have appealed to in their resistance to "foreign" ideas and practices - and that includes women's liberation. - Rev Amos Kasibante Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:31:11 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21004 i have learn trough the article Ugandas political situation an moreover social life , been so far away (i live in spain) it was very nice to know that there is an open mind person and a very sensitive human been Congratulation Gustavo Solano Lloret de Mar Girona Spain - GUSTAVO SOLANO Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:25:37 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-21002 In Uganda there is separation of church and state/religion as per the 1995 Constitution. We do not have a state church or state religion as such. But Ugandan society is overwhelmingly religious, not secular, having a plurality of religions. Consequently religious values may find expression in our laws; for some laws are expressions of the collective morality of a people. That is different from imposing a religious morality be it Islamic, Christian or African Traditional Religion (sometimes the latter's existence is forgotten). So, the issue at stake is not the separation of religion/church and state. It is whether and to what extent certain behaviours may be legislated and what the consequences of such legislation are likely to be. It is a contest between good laws and bad laws. - Rev Amos Kasibante Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:47:00 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/index.php/component/content/106-myblog/2060-buturo-bahati-more-dangerous-to-uganda-than-gays-and-lesbians#comment-20989 I don't know what we can do to put sense into the thick brains of the likes of Butuuro and Bahati! As a Ugandan born in Western Uganda, and went through boy's schools and went through Makerere University, I know many names of distingushed gentlemen who had gay inclanations, and probabaly still have them but that has not made them in anyway bad people. - Sukkhi Pal Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:42:46 +0100
