GOP Pol: God 'Appalled' by U.S. Opposition to Ugandan Antigay Law.

'What must God think of our country?' asks Glenn Grothman, an ultraconservative Wisconsin state legislator now seeking a congressional seat.

God must be appalled that American leaders are speaking out against Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act, says Wisconsin state senator and congressional candidate Glenn Grothman.

Grothman, who made the statement in an appearance earlier this month on Milwaukee-based Voice of Christian Youth America’s In Focus TV program, asserted in the same interview that the pending Employment Non-Discrimination Act would grant preferences to LGBT people in hiring and promotion.

He told host Jim Schneider that while the U.S. once was known for sending agricultural assistance and Christian missionaries to Africa, “instead, what we have is the Secretary of State going to Africa and educating Ugandans, or saying he is going to send American scientists to Uganda to explain how normal homosexuality is.”

Secretary of State John Kerry and other U.S. officials have spoken out against Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act, which provides for harsh punishment of homosexuality, which was already illegal in the nation. The act, signed into law by President Yoweri Museveni in February, mandates life imprisonment for people convicted of “aggravated homosexuality,” defined as repeated same-sex sexual encounters between consenting adults, any such encounter in which one person was a minor or HIV-positive, or any in which the participants were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The law also provides tough penalties for people or organizations found guilty of “aiding” or “abetting” homosexuality.
