The Saturday Monitor reports today on a meeting in Kampala hosted by Martin Ssempa last Tuesday.
Pastor Martin Ssempa on Tuesday plumbed the depths of notoriety when he offered graphic images of gay sex as proof of the need for tough penalties against homosexuals.
In the immediate aftermath of the presentation, which ended prematurely, Pastor Ssempa said he did not regret his actions. The press conference, the latest in a series of events he is holding in support of the 2009 Anti-Homosexuality Bill, had been called to unveil two Ugandans, a man and a woman, who say their homosexuality has been rehabilitated.
One man, who was part of a group of American students invited to the press conference by Rubaga North MP Beti Kamya, was seen crying, his colleagues consoling him as the group left the National Theatre.
But midway through his presentation, saved on a computer, most of his audience walked out, some visibly disturbed, leaving him to wonder if he had done anything wrong. The cleric seemed genuinely rattled when he asked: “Why should I be traumatised?”
… because we all know that gay porn gives a true depiction to people who are gay and lesbian?! This just shows how very little Ssempa knows the gay community. I feel bad for those who had to view the porn … may God erase those images from their minds, and bring healing to any damaged emotions. As the saying goes, “Porn rapes the mind!”
Let us so pray….
Not to mention, some people do not like being ambushed into having to view pornography.
And that will happen more and more as more LGBT people make themselves known to their friends, families and loved ones.
