Sore Losers: Ugandan Parliament to reintroduce Anti-Gay Law

When will they learn?

Uganda’s parliament are not happy with the banished anti-gay law. So, they want to bring it back. These haters are meeting to figure out a way to put the hateful law back in books.

Here's more:

It was not immediately clear whether Museveni would support the bill a second time, if passed by parliament again.

“We’re mobilizing members to pledge their support for reintroduction of this bill when the House comes back from recess [in about two weeks’ time],” Abdu Latif Ssebaggala, told Reuters.

Ssebaggala said he had started collecting signatures on Tuesday of members of parliament in favour of reintroducing the bill and that he expected to have over 200 – in a house of 383 members – by the end of Wednesday.

Just let it go. Just let it go.

Rejoice! Uganda's Anti-Gay Law has been declared Null and Void

Oh Snap!

The hateful Anti-Gay law in Uganda was banished! It ruled that this hate bill was passed by MPs in December without the requisite quorum and was therefore illegal.

Say again... Illegal.


Congrats to the activists who fought to make this happen. These fools may try again, but at least they know a fight will be waiting for them.

Ugandan Government says they won't be "Blackmailed" by the US

After the President and the US Government gave out harsh measures to Uganda over their anti-gay foolishness, they responded... In a not so good way.

Uganda's spokesman Ofwono Opondo told Reuters, that basically, "Whatever"

"Uganda is a sovereign country and can never bow to anybody or be blackmailed by anybody on a decision it took in its interests, even if it involves threats to cut off all financial assistance."

Okay, they say that now, but I bet you they will change their tone in years to come

Uganda's Anti-Gay law causes an Increase in attacks on the LGBT community

A new report from the Sexual Minorities Uganda tells us that attacks against the gay and lesbian community has dangerously increased.

There has been acts of blackmail, fights, firings, attempted lynchings, mob violence, evictions and suicides. The reports also show that 25 people were have fled Uganda, seeking asylum in Kenya and Rwanda.

Here's more:

"The passing of AHA has given permission to a culture of extreme and violent homophobia whereby both state and non-state actors are free to persecute Uganda's LGBTI people with impunity," the report stated.

The survey recorded 162 incidents since the legislation was passed by parliament. By comparison, Sexual Minorities Uganda recorded only eight incidents in the rest of 2013 and 19 in the whole of 2012.

"[This] represents an increase of between 750% and 1,900% on previous years," the report noted, "an increase which can only be explained by the passage of the AHA and the virulently homophobic atmosphere this has engendered."

In four cases, men accused of being gay were reported to have been kidnapped and tortured. There were 29 incidents where the media "outed" individuals who were later subjected to further persecution.

Our people in Uganda are really going through it, y'all.

Ugandan Gay Rights Activist John Abadallah Wambere seeks Asylum in the U.S.

Ugandan gay-rights activist John Abdallah Wambere fears for his life!

During his speaking tour, John hopes he can get asylum here in the U.S. He wants to escape the new and terrifying anti-gay law in his country. Right now, John lives in Cambridge, Mass., but he will have to return to Uganda very soon. He doesn't want to leave his community behind, but it has become too dangerous there.

John will be able to stay here as his request for asylum is pending, but according to the process, he won't be able to work. The process generally takes about than 60 days.

I wish him luck.
