Uganda moves forward

[MerinPally]

Uganda, known as one of the forerunners of gay rights has decided to annul the laws it put into place in February which said that "aggravated homosexuality" and promoting the gay agenda (whatever they are) was worthy of life imprisonment. Whilst it's still illegal to be gay, apparently being a aggressive homosexual is no longer a problem.

They swear that this has nothing to do with donors cutting ties to the country over those laws being put in place and they're considering appealing this annulment. Despite all that they insist that this shows to the west just how democratic they are.

Well, it's better than nothing even though they are appealing against imprisoning gays for doing... I don't know what. Baby steps.

It ruled that the bill was passed by MPs in December without the requisite quorum and was therefore illegal.

Sounds as if they're at least doing their jobs...somewhat well. They caught their own mistake.

Because God, and the Bible, thinks it's unholy for people to have sexual interactions with people of the same gender.

Honestly MerinPally, I thought you knew better. Shame on you.

Shame on me I wonder how many lashings that is, or maybe it's goat sacrifices, I just can't quite remember.

I mean at least they caught a problem, that's something, it shows they aren't completely incompetent. Disappointing that they want to appeal it and that laws such as this exist but at least they're doing something right. There are plenty of other problems to catch however. As I said, it's baby steps. More of a crawl but hey it's something.

Africa as a whole is mostly moving forward... it will probably take a while before they come to the level of Japan or Germany but they're at least going forward.

In the next 10,000 years or so they may invent fire.

Yay!

Only the murders and burnings of LGBT individuals needs to be tackled before real equality can be pursued in said nation

I'm serious.

Definitely, I'm not imagining anything like equality no chance. Can't set a standard for a developed western nation to... any part of Africa really, that's like judging a fish on it's ability to climb a tree. Whilst not looking for equality, not persecution would be a good start and this is a really tiny precursor to that. It's still illegal to be gay over there and whatever but not being imprisoned for being "aggressively homosexual" (whatever that is) is something.

I think gay right is least of their problems...

Yeah... here's a map of democracy in Africa:



I love how the only full democracy in Africa is technically an Indian Ocean-nation...

Well at least 2 people over there know the law (he who found it and he the judge), that's what this highlights. That seems to be more than most countries near there, so using that they can then maybe begin to tackle some of their other problems.

Edit: mistook countries and people... somehow...

I....

what? No really, what?
How is it illegal to be gay but ok to be an ''aggressive homosexual''? the fuck is an ''aggressive homosexual'' anyway?
What about a savage homosexual?

I feel there needs to be some extra colours on that map, a few middle grounds. Some are far worse than others. I would not necessarily lump Madagascar and Algeria in the same boat as Zimbabwe, nor Uganda with Nigeria. Whilst Nigeria isn't all that great it's really not that far behind some of the flawed democracy ones.

They need to enter a gladiator pit and fight other homosexuals, only to emerge victorious and be granted exemption from death.

Thus was the aggressive homosexual is born.

lol nice idea, I'm sure that'd make a great TV show.

[Al Gorefiend]

I'm serious.

So am I, Africa is so backwards in... everything that if not for their vast swathes of untapped resources and megafauna governments wouldn't care less.

From someone who lived there for 17 yrs its barely a full democracy . Its nearly as bad as the Indian dynasty politicians.

A savage homosexual is one native to Draenor, everything there is savage. There's more to it! Apparently promoting the gay agenda by saying things like "please stop torturing me because I'm gay" are no longer worthy of life imprisonment.

I can confirm that not being tortured is a big part of the gay agenda. That's why so many of those people you see on TV are so opposed to and scared of this gay agenda. Some days you just wanna torture someone, you know?
