I wouldn't be surprised, whatever version of this becomes law, that Exodus will be compensated for conversion therapy and/or conversion therapy training. Most likely forced upon inmates jailed for homosexuality.<br />No matter how you slice it, it's a move in the wrong direction.<br />The sad thing about this is the fallout will affect so much more than the LGBT community alone. It could place their entire country in great peril. <br />The HIV/AIDS aspect alone will be devastating and could cause a pandemic of epic proportions.<br />I feel for the people and hope if this law goes into affect that many of the worlds countries will step up and accept asylum seakers with open arms.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094015641497289970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16665691.post-61147407498300957452009-12-13T10:08:24.320-05:002009-12-13T10:08:24.320-05:00Thanks for the comment Tom.

And, the very fact that this bill adds a new element to African anti-gay legislation, incarceration for people who do not 'report' gays to the government, it really ups the ante.<br /><br />I hope the West can make a dent, but, thanks to the bigots we export, like Scott Lively, we have a long way to go.lelio risenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999067679408073112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16665691.post-58585937112755973062009-12-13T09:54:29.281-05:002009-12-13T09:54:29.281-05:00Sounds like Uaganda needs more institutions of hig...Sounds like Uaganda needs more institutions of higher learning. Of course that would be counter productive for the religious community.<br />But you know, because the international community provides Uganda with so much funding, Uganda will back pedal. Just like they are now doing by removing the death penalty.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094015641497289970noreply@blogger.com
