This form of homophobia is the new apartheid, and needs international boycotts.

In reply to RuariJM.

Clarification – by “the article” I am referring to the article in the Uganda Monitor, not this one.

If you read the article carefully, you will realise that it has been written with a bit of cunning. The Catholic bishops are never quoted saying anything overtly supportive of the anti-gay legislation. Even the quote about supporting Museveni is not support for anti-gay moves. The writers infer stuff that they do not then back up. Other denominations – Anglicans and others – are indeed quoted but not the Catholics. Worth bearing in mind that the Catholic Bishops Conference of Uganda issued a statement saying that it did not believe the new law was necessary and calling for respect for all people.

I have proven to Melanie Nathan, unequivocally, that Bp Warmika did not say anything that she accused him of. She named a church that does not exist and claimed he said this stuff in a sermon on Easter Sunday. He did not; he did not give the sermon. He said nothing that day. Neither in a real church nor in an imaginary one.

Rather than accept that her information may have been faulty she prefers to employ abuse, invective, rabble-rousing and – when all else fails – censorship. She refuses to publish any correction to her piece at all.

One is forced to the conclusion that she would rather stick with a lie than work with the truth. Campaigners should be aware of that and proceed with caution. Being associated with those for whom truth is nothing more than an inconvenience can give a bad reputation.

The gospels confirm that Jesus loved John the disciple in a special way. On His execution, after all the other disciples fled out of fear, only John had the courage to attend. From the cross, Jesus saw his mother and John standing nearby. Jesus said to His mother:”Woman behold your Son.” and to the disciple :”Behold your mother” and the Bible continues by saying that from that hour John took Mary to his own home. Effectively John became part of Jesus’ family. Almost in the same way my (future) same-sex partner will one day become part of my family, and hopefully my family to accept this beloved partner as their new son.
The Apostle Mark gives testament of a naked youth running away from Jesus’ arrest in the garden of Gethsemane.
Jesus was a Hebrew rabbi, in Jesus’ time a Hebrew rabbi was obligated to get married. Jesus wasn’t.
Seems very likely that the same Jesus these hateful christians call upon, belonged to the very same sexual orientation as the group of people they are persecuting.
The physical expression of FAITHFUL love is godly… To suggest otherwise is plain puritanism, which has for too long tainted the image of the church.

Other Ugandan Church leaders also called for genocide as part of Easter message…

The Bishop of Mbale Diocese, the Rt Rev Patrick Gidudu, said President Museveni made Ugandans proud by defying international pressure, including from several donors.“His courage gives us hope against the forces of resistance. We know that this legislation will protect society and the youth from homosexuality which is abominable in Africa,” Bishop Gidudu said.

In Kapchorwa District, the Rt Rev Augustine Salimo, the Bishop of Sebei, in reference to the Anti-Homosexual Act, urged the government not to back down but to continue the right path pursued to protect values of Ugandans.

Pastor Andrew Mutengu of the Word of Faith Church, urged Christians to pray for the nation, saying the anti-homosexuality law puts the country in danger after it triggered aid cut. “We need to stand by the Presidentin prayer to help our country stand without aid,” he said.

Wake Up Ministries Pastor Martin Nangoli said, “Our dear President did us proud by signing the anti-gays Bill into law,” and added, “Above all, we must know that any society that wants to grow with social values must protect the family. We must discard homosexuality to protect marriages,” he added.

If you only knew that homosexuality was in your tribes long before the Europeans brought God and the Bible to your land… Kill in the name of God… Is that what the Bible reads now a days?
