Uganda Needs to Stop Hating their Homosexual Citizens, Life Sentences Still on Table, Death Sentences for Homo’s Finally NOT an Option
Why Uganda?
With the opportunity to create a better country you are choosing to take a large step back from the world stage. A country is judged by how it treats it’s most oppressed, is there compassion at your core, or tyranny in your soul- now possibly your constitution?
If you haven’t been following what is going on in Uganda here are two great articles on the subject: CNN : Queerty. You go Rachel you stay on them.
Here’s the skinny, first there was a proposal to either put gays to death or life long jail sentences for the ‘criminal act’ of being gay. Uganda’s government has wisely stepped back from these two punishments, however, if being gay is criminal anywhere in the world, it requires us as a community to make our voices heard!
Uganda the world wants to help your country, and continuing this will cut you off from the western world and the relief and aid we can/have provided for your country. AIDS relief, which is highly needed in Uganda, will come to a screeching halt if these laws come back into consideration. If purely on a fiscal level, murdering and imprisoning your homosexual countrymen and women is a vile move and will cost you far more than you can now even imagine.
