Accuracy in Media promotes inaccurate reading of Uganda’s Anti-homosexuality Bill

Not sure why this continues to happen. But here it is.

Homosexual media activists in the U.S. such as Rachel Maddow of MSNBC and Jonathan Capehart of the Washington Post have falsely depicted the bill in Uganda as an effort to kill homosexuals. In fact, it is designed to save lives by restricting dangerous homosexual practices, including pedophilia, child rape, and the deliberate spreading of the AIDS virus. The controversial death penalty provision, which even some pro-family activists in the U.S. find objectionable, is for crimes of “aggravated homosexuality.”

We have been over this a lot and it is discouraging to see someone who represents a group with the name “accuracy” in it provide incomplete and inaccurate information.

Then he notes that some Christians oppose the bill.

However, American pastor Rick Warren had his arms twisted and is now urging Ugandan pastors to oppose the bill. Curiously, Warren Throckmorton of Grove City College, a conservative Christian institution, has been working with homosexual bloggers and anti-Christian activists to kill the legislation.

Neither Warrens have had their arm twisted. We just read the entire bill. Anyone can. It is here. And here it is with some comment. If you don’t want to speak out, fine. If you think homosexuality should be criminalized with life in prison, then just say so.

If you agree with this:

The objectives of the Bill are to….

(b) prohibit and penalize homosexual behavior and related practices in Uganda as they constitute a threat to the traditional family;

then say so…

  2. Not sure why this continues to happen.

    But I think you can probably guess.

    You just don’t want to think that Christians could be like that.

    Real ones like yourself can’t.

  3. Word is getting out…just chatted for an hour with a friend at church who was aware of all of this through NPR, and disgusted that it was associated with Evangelical thought.

    Very glad to hear it! 🙂

  6. Hey, I thought I was the one picking up that vibe.

    Am I one of the homosexual bloggers?

    ha ha ha ha!

    I am used to tainting wheresoever I touch, courtesy of the one and only Martin Ssempa, but I dont think I should apologise to you for being gay, should I?

  8. Some think you aren’t “anti-gay” enough. Some think I’m not “gay activist” enough. Can’t win, can we? 🙂

    I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

  9. The bill effectively sanctions the mass slaughter of practicing homosexuals. Genocide, if you will. What else does the death penalty for repeat offenses mean?

    I am really disturbed by the amount of misinformation about this bill being spread by conservative Christians. It’s human lives at stake here.
