KAMPALA, Uganda -- The front-page newspaper story featured a list of Uganda's 100 "top" homosexuals, with a bright yellow banner across it that read: "Hang Them." Alongside their photos were the men's names and addresses.

In the days since it was published, at least four gay Ugandans on the list have been attacked and many others are in hiding, according to rights activist Julian Onziema. One person named in the story had stones thrown at his house by neighbors.

I don't even know what to say to that.

What qualifies you as being a 'top' homosexual?

If I was a homosexual in Uganda and I didn't appear on that list, a part of me would be a little relieved but my confidence would have taken a bit of a knocking tbh.

I wish American evangelicals would stop spreading their special brand of crazy all over the globe. Most sub-Saharan African countries have enough problems as it is.

Thought you were talking about the daily mail there for a minute.

I notice the "news" paper is called Rolling Stone. I'd love it if the American Rolling Stone magazine sued them for copyright infringement.

I'd be more afraid of the 'bottom' homosexuals...*

*not a homophobic comment humour only

That paper is called the Red Pepper, I read it on many a morning Kampala, fcukin right laugh so it is! One front page story I saw was "Woman bonked to death by husbands huge whopper". It showed a picture of his wife lying on the floor dead as a doorknob with a caption: "Police classified his penis as a weapon of mass destruction."

Here's a video of a Ugandan pastor ranting and raving about gays

Indeed.
How does a gay person make it into the top 100?

Would you have to be highly proficient at making cocktails and doing other stereotypical gay stuff?

Also, did any women make the list? If so, are they hot?

I know you're American, but we've sent our own special brand of God botherers to Africa. The ones who spread Pope Benny's message that condoms contribute to the spread of HIV.

The legislation was drawn up following a visit by leaders of U.S. conservative Christian ministries that promote therapy they say allows gays to become heterosexual.

It all becomes a bit clearer now.

The Aussie · 21-10-2010 07:13PM

The Pastor is into Scat sites, cool...

fonecrusher1 · 21-10-2010 07:34PM

Theres an old saying:

Everybody stutters one way or the other

So check out my message to you.

As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.

If the Scatman can do it so can you.

pablomakaveli · 21-10-2010 07:55PM

That pastor seems to have very detailed information. Now i wonder how he got that.:rolleyes:

Seriously though what that newspaper did is pretty sickening.

The sad part is, Ireland gives so much money to Uganda every year as bilateral aid. They spend it on war airplanes and bringing the death penalty for gay people, their friends and their families. Does the government do anything substantial about it? No. They just write their letters and watch people wait to be executed.

Chorcai · 21-10-2010 09:12PM

Just one of the many reason I don't bother my hole giving money to Africa, charity starts at home.

'Boy drags flashy man of God to police for terrorising his buttocks with monster whopper' is the greatest sub-heading ever.
