i think that killing is not the solution for dealing with problem of the guy people in uganda, if this was the same law which was to be passed on corruption since it is also is a moral problem i think few Political leaders the goverment would have delt with povert rather than this

this is appalling crap. how can people think that violent judgemental behavioris biblical? when jesus said love your neighbour he was doing a midrash on a leviticus passage which was actually hidden in extra-biblical jewish thought which enforced a new reality that we are responsible to one another. it pisses me off when we people think the bible is a tool to justify wrong behavior or to create an exclusive doctrine that creates even more outcasts whom jesus came for. it is a scary thing when the church is making outcasts. i really liked this post, would love to stay in touch and see how we could partner…

William – I don't know what is happening specifically with the Church of Jesus Christ. Please fill me (us) in so we can express fairly across the board in all directions. Thank you.

I can ubderstand your concern at deveopments in Uganda over the direction of action on homosexual practice.

Is there not a great concern also at the direction being taken in the U? by the Government and some parts of the Church of Jesus Christ?

If concern is not expressed fairly across the board then a concern expressed in one direction can only be seen for what it is – a biased concern to control not only reporting but action of a free democrastic country.

(Check out Exodus International's ties to this abomination. Box Turtle Bulletin has covered it extensively since one of Exodus International's board members particiapted in the panel study that birthed this legislation.)

Amen, Andy! This is absolutely absurd that we should even HAVE to do this! I don't know if Brian McLaren has been updated on this, but I just sent him an email, and I'm hoping he can mobilize a few more souls to this no-brainer of a human rights protest.

I´ve been all over these developments in Uganda for quite a while at my blog…I´m Episcopalian/Anglican and I´ve been greatly disturbed about the ¨ethics and morality¨ that is portrayed as honorable by Archbishop Henri Orombi and others…it´s a very poisioness atmosphere for LGBT Christians/others and as the police in Kampala reported to The Monitor yesterday, there isn´t even a serious issue with LGBTI people…human sacrifices and sex slavery (as mentioned above) are critical issues in Uganda of today…Minister Buturo inviting Scott Lively to instruct the Ugandan Parliment Members on the vileness of Homosexuality (which he compared to having sex with children and animals)…is way off track, emotional and spiritual and now this deadly Homosexual 2009 Bill is on the table to be voted on…someone ought get to the President to have him intervene so a proper ¨spiritual and emotional¨ study, with REAL EXPERTS can be considered properly…this is railroading…why?

If I had the funds, I live in Uganda. As a monk, I know I survive longer there then here, because there deserves the same peace we have here.

So glad to have you on board with this, Andrew. Warren Throckmorton, I and a few others felt as if we were crying in the wind initially.
