Uganda MP urges death for gay sex

but not just any gay sex. Partner have a disability? To the gallows with you... :grr: :banghead:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8308912.stm

A Ugandan MP has proposed creating an offence of "aggravated homosexuality" to be punishable by death.

Ruling party MP David Bahati wants the death penalty for those having gay sex with disabled people, under-18s or when the accused is HIV-positive...

The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission has urged the bill to be dismissed....

But John Otekat Emile, an independent MP, said he believed the bill had a "99% chance" of being passed.

Too bad Uganda doesn't have any oil. Otherwise we could shock 'n' awe them...

2. In Uganda, women are more likely to be infected than men;

There is a 10% incidence of AIDS in urban areas, about 5.7% in rural areas. (statistics from AVERT, http://www.avert.org/aidsuganda.htm)

It's counter-productive, in other words, and stupid as hell...about what one expects.

6. I noticed that, too.

I hereby award MP Bahati the Idi Amin Prize for the most thorough combination of stupidity and evil. :eyes:
