Ugandan President Signs the Controversial Anti-Gay Bill into Law

If you're like, "I thought the anti-gay bill had already happened in Uganda; isn't it already illegal to be gay there?" Yes! Homosexual acts in Uganda are already illegal. But, apparently, that was not enough.



This bill toughens the already tough laws against gay people; and has made homosexual acts punishable by life in prison.



Now it should be noted that there are people saying that the Ugandan President, Yoweri Musveni, is a master of compromise, because, previously, instead of just jailing gays for their entire life, the bill had simply wanted them killed. So, it's no longer the ‘Kill the Gays’ bill but the ‘Jail the Gays’ bill.



The President of Uganda saying that he would not allow the West to impose their values on him. And, on the act of homosexuality itself, the President of Uganda said that it was learned, and could be unlearned.

Lol, morals aside, where the hell are people's priorities? The President in Uganda is estimated by some to be the twelfth richest person in Africa. So, granted, homosexuality is rampant and terrible, but I look at his country and wonder why he's working so hard against homosexuals when he could, maybe, try and help his infant mortality rate. Talk about AIDS, the lack of health services, even food.

And, it's not that just gay sex is illegal, even the attempt of homosexuality – as they call it – is illegal. Also, the promotion of homosexuality, so if you're surfing gay porn on the Internet: illegal. Aiding and abetting homosexuality is even illegal; so if you set two people up – or somehow you are seen as a person that made this possible and happen – you could go to jail for seven years!

President Obama has said in the past that the signing of this bill would complicate the U.S.’s relationship with the country.



And, by "relationship", I believe he's referring to the two hundred and fifty million dollars the United States sent Uganda last year. And, in response, it seems that the President of Uganda could care less.
