Remember the anti-homosexuality law going down in Uganda? You remember how anti-gay religious wackaloons stirred up the homophobia in Uganda, and then tried to distance themselves from the resultant gay bashing and proposed laws?

Sure you do.

Evangelist Lou Engle recently visited Uganda and participated in a rally in favor of passing this law, which contains measures such as

• death for gays who HIV positive (but not for HIV-positive straights)
• 3 years of prison for anyone who witnesses homosexual activity that doesn’t report it to law enforcement (rat on your neighbor or go to jail)
• 7 years of prison for anyone who supports or promotes homosexuality (this would account for no active protests at the latest rallies)
• life imprisonment for committing a homosexual act

Engle, who runs various evangelical movements had this to say:

“Today, America is losing its religious freedom. We are trying to restrain an agenda that is sweeping through the education system. Uganda has become ground zero.”

Engle has publicly condemned the harsher provisions of the proposed law, but then backpedaled at the rally (attended by pastors and legislators) and told Ugandans that he praised the country for its courageousness in promoting the bill.
