David Bahati will Continue to push the 'Kill the Gays' Bill in Uganda

On Friday, the Parliament in Uganda ended the day without discussing the anti-gay bill. However, David (Snake Face) Bahati will fight to bring the bill up for a vote.


Bahati told the news agency that he would re-introduce his bill in February.
“We have made important steps in raising the issue and that will continue,” he said.
I honestly don't see what he would gain from this silly crusade. Other countries have threaten to cut all aid to Uganda. Their credibility will be at stake and David will be a pariah rather than the hero of Uganda. 


With the possibility of losing so much, is this stupid bill worth it?


Somebody better talk to David and his cronies. They could the ones labeled as the fools who destroyed Uganda.

In Uganda: 2 Million sign a petition to bring back the 'Kill the Gays' Bill

This is unbelievable to read! After all the protests, the UN support and even threats of losing international funding; 2 million Ugandans want the 'Kill the Gays' back on track.

Anti-homosexuality activists have presented a petition in Parliament, calling for the passing of the anti-gay Bill. The petition, signed by two million people countrywide, was presented to the Speaker of Parliament, Mr Edward Ssekandi, yesterday by anti-gay activists led by Pastor Martin Ssempa.


“We are not here to hang the gays as people have speculated but to protect young men and girls being recruited into the practice,” Pastor Ssempa said. They also listed 19 organisations which they claimed are promoting homosexuality in the country.
Mr Ssekandi promised that the Bill would be debated.


“The mover of the Bill (David Bahati) is still a member of the 9th Parliament and even if the current Parliament doesn’t debate it, the new Parliament will do it,” Mr Ssekandi said.
He added: “Since the Bill was tabled, I have received numerous calls from the international community to throw it out but I always tell them that I don’t have those powers.”


Mr Ssekandi also told the team that their petition would be considered by the committee.
The Bill, tabled in Parliament by Mr Bahati as a private members Bill in 2009, seeks among others to imprison for life anyone convicted of “the offence of homosexuality,” punish “aggravated homosexuality” and offences like having gay sex while HIV-positive by a death penalty upon conviction.


It also forbids any “promotion of homosexuality” and incarcerates gay-rights defenders.
Pastor Ssempa said there were allegations of huge sums of money being brought into the country to influence people against passing the Bill.


The Bill is still before the parliamentary Committee on Legal and Parliament Affairs although the committee chair said government Bills before his committee take precedence. 
Who are these people? And do they realized what they are agreeing to? I can't help but to think about the message this sends to the overall LGBT community there. I hope this rejected and thrown out!

Uganda puts away the 'Kill the Gays' Bill, for now

The anti-gay bill is shelved for now, but the hateful bastard David Bahati will continue to push it.

Information minister Masiko Kabakumba appeared Thursday on NTV to announce that the administration of President Yoweri Museveni had determined the Anti-Homosexuality Bill to be redundant because other laws already criminalize gay people in the country. The new proposal, which sparked international outcry when it was introduced in 2009, would magnify the penalties to include execution for “aggravated homosexuality,” such as having sex when HIV-positive.


Kabakumba said that another law, the Sexual Offenses Bill, would cover any outstanding concerns, but Bahati, the lawmaker with connections to antigay American evangelicals, insisted that a “specific and clear” law is still needed to fight the “promotion” of homosexuality. In addition, Warren Throckmorton reports that Bahati has been assured by legal and parliamentary affairs committee chair Stephen Tashobya that debate on the Anti-Homosexuality Bill will proceed.


Bahati said that “95%” of Ugandans do not support homosexuality, a claim that Kabakumba did not challenge.


“Of course we are concerned,” she said. “We don’t condone homosexuality in our country.”
