Uganda's harsh anti-gay law sparked a firestorm of disapproval in the West. But not in the U.S. Bible Belt where evangelical groups have pressed a dozen states to consider gay discrimination laws in the name of religious freedom. Arizona actually passed o

    We need to pull funding to countries, like Uganda, that persecute homosexuality.

    The EU, at least has, not sure if we have. Uganda just laughed, so I guess they didn't need all that aid in the first place.

    The ones laughing aren't the ones who will suffer from foreign aid cuts.

    Some charities would go under if that happened.

    If it were those spreading Hatred, good.

    By no means did I mean a wholesale revoking. Just those involved in spreading these kinds of agendas, especially to foreign nations.

    Seems it's not just the Gays they have gotten excited about.




    Uganda miniskirt ban: Police stop protest march





    Police in Uganda have prevented women from marching through the streets of the capital, Kampala, in protest at new laws banning the wearing of miniskirts.

    Instead about 200 women, some dressed in short skirts, gathered outside the national theatre to voice their anger.

    There have been several incidents over the past week of women in short skirts being publicly harassed and assaulted.

    This follows the signing by the president of the anti-pornography bill, which bans "indecent" dressing.

    Proposing the legislation last year, Uganda's Ethics and Integrity Minister Simon Lokodo said that women who wore "anything above the knee" should be arrested.

    Rita Achiro, executive director of the Uganda Women's Network, said her organisation may take legal action as the constitution guarantees equal rights for both sexes and it would continue to urge politicians to review the law.

    The anti-pornography act does not mention the word miniskirt but bans women from revealing their thighs, breasts and buttocks and from dressing indecently in a manner to sexually excite.

    This is why it is imperative to fight any attempt of Religion to encroach into Government. Even the Hippy Jesus Christianity that we have become accustomed to will turn into cruel dictatorship in short order given that power. In the US we can see that even the potential of gaining Power is turning Christianity into a force of cruelty and outright hatred. At the rate things are going, the Westboro Baptist church will seem mainstream, rather than the extreme.

    Well said Sandorski.

    At least the Gays from Uganda can now emigrate to Arizona or or Idaho, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Hawaii, Ohio, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Russia, Middle East, well okay, Georgia?



    A bill is sailing through the Georgia legislature that is alarmingly similar to the Arizona bill.

    If government would stop encroaching on Christianity it wouldn't be necessary.

    The resistance is building. As I have said before, the gay agenda needs to step back and take some time off. Consolidate what they've gained or risk the upcoming Artcle V Constitutional Convention submitting some very unpleasant Amendments to the state legislatures to approve.

    I would have no problem cutting aid to - Uganda, Saudi Arabia, India, Malaysia, Libya, Algeria, Nigeria, Ghana, Congo, Venezuela, Benin, China, Fiji, Singapore, Yemen, Afghanistan, , Tajikistan, Georgia, Turkey, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Senegal, United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Brunei, Phillipines, Costa Rica, Honduras, Belize, Guyana, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Jordan, Syria, Namibia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Maldive Islands, Madagascar, South Africa, and etc. that persecute homosexuality.

    Now some of the above nations do not imprison homosexuals for being homosexual, they just limit their rights due to their sexual orientation. I also doubt nations like Saudi Arabia, China, Jordan, UAE ect receive financial aid from Canada.

    Also -
    Brazil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Brazil
    Mexico http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_rights_in_Mexico
    Cuba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_rights_in_Cuba
    Nepal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Nepal
    Argentina http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_rights_in_Argentina

    Those were just a few that I was curious about and goggled.
