Kerry Threatens Aid Cuts Over Uganda's 'Jail the Gays' Law

By Sunnivie Brydum Feb. 24, 2014, 7:35 p.m.

Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni signed the long-pending Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law Monday, telling legislators he was convinced that homosexuality was a learned behavior, not an innate characteristic.
In response to Museveni's signature making certain instances of homosexuality punishable by life in prison in Uganda, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the Obama administration is now reconsidering the terms of its close relationship with the Ugandan government, echoing the president's statement last week that the he was "deeply disappointed" by the law's then-imminent signing.
"This is a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about the cause of human rights," Kerry said in a statement issued Monday. "Ultimately, the only answer is repeal of this law. … Today’s signing threatens a dangerous slide backward in Uganda’s commitment to protecting the human rights of its people and a serious threat to the LGBT community in Uganda. … Now that this law has been enacted, we are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the Government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values."
When Ugandan lawmakers first considered the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in 2009, the legislation called for the death penalty for anyone convicted of the felony of "aggravated homosexuality," which was defined as repeated same-sex sexual encounters between consenting adults, any sexual 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 as passed Monday replaces the capital punishment provision for "aggravated homosexuality" with a stipulation mandating life imprisonment and orders that a person charged with the offense must undergo a medical examination — which in practice is usually a forcible anal examination — and HIV test, regardless of the individual's consent.
The law also imposes harsh sentences on those convicted of aiding, abetting, or conspiring to engage in homosexuality. Any person or organization performing a same-sex marriage is likely to lose their licensure and spend as many as seven years in jail. The legislation also includes a section that allows for extradition of Ugandan nationals who are accused of violating the law but may have fled to other countries.
The law also enumerates the numerous ways in which the "promotion of homosexuality" is forbidden, clamping down on individuals, organizations, and media outlets that discuss LGBT identities. Specifically, the law imposes five- to seven-year prison sentences on any individual or group that uses the Internet, film, or mobile phones "for the purposes of homosexuality or promoting homosexuality"; anyone who produces, markets, broadcasts, or disseminates "pornographic materials for purposes of promoting homosexuality"; anyone who "funds or sponsors homosexuality," "offers premises and… fixed or movable assets for purposes of homosexuality"; and anyone who "acts as an accomplice or attempts to promote or in any way abets homosexuality and related practices." If a corporate entity or nongovernmental organization is found guilty of promoting homosexuality, that group's formal registration with the nation will be canceled, and the director of said organization could be imprisoned for seven years.
When signing the bill Monday — under substantial pressure from lawmakers in his own ruling party and religious leaders in the country — President Museveni said he was swayed by the two-page, uncited "scientific" report prepared for him by a group of antigay lawmakers who claimed to have "medical backgrounds."
"After exhaustive studies, it has been found that homosexuality is in two categories," Museveni told members of Parliament gathered to see him sign the bill Monday, according to Uganda's Independent. "There are those who engage in homosexuality for mercenary reasons on account of the underdeveloped sectors of our economy that cause people to remain in poverty … and then there are those that become homosexual by both nature (genetic) and nurture (upbringing). … Can somebody be homosexual purely by nature without nurture? The answer is: 'No.' No study has shown that. Since nurture is the main cause of homosexuality, then society can do something about it to discourage the trends. That is why I have agreed to sign the Bill."
In a characteristically contradictory fashion, Museveni closed his remarks Monday by saying that as a leader and as a country, "We reject the notion that somebody can be homosexual by choice; that a man can choose to love a fellow man; that sexual orientation is a matter of choice."
"Since my original thesis that there may be people who are born homosexual has been disproved by science, then the homosexuals have lost the argument in Uganda," continued the president. "They should rehabilitate themselves and society should assist them to do so."
But LGBT activists in Uganda refused to be silenced. Kasha Jacqueline, a lesbian feminist activist and founding director of Freedom and Roam Uganda, one of the nation's oldest human rights and LGBT advocacy groups, defiantly tweeted a photo of herself Monday wearing a shirt reading "Sex Is Politics," adorned in rainbow colors:








In response to a Twitter user who suggested that she seek asylum in the United States, Jaqueline was resolute about staying in her country and continuing the fight for LGBT equality. "Thanks dear," she wrote Monday. "But I need to stay behind and join my other community that may not have the same opportunity. We need to be together more."

Kerry Threatens Aid Cuts Over Uganda's 'Jail the Gays' Law

Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni signed the long-pending Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law Monday, telling legislators he was convinced that homosexuality was a learned behavior, not an innate characteristic.
In response to Museveni's signature making certain instances of homosexuality punishable by life in prison in Uganda, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the Obama administration is now reconsidering the terms of its close relationship with the Ugandan government, echoing the president's statement last week that the he was "deeply disappointed" by the law's then-imminent signing.
"This is a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about the cause of human rights," Kerry said in a statement issued Monday. "Ultimately, the only answer is repeal of this law. … Today’s signing threatens a dangerous slide backward in Uganda’s commitment to protecting the human rights of its people and a serious threat to the LGBT community in Uganda. … Now that this law has been enacted, we are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the Government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values."
When Ugandan lawmakers first considered the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in 2009, the legislation called for the death penalty for anyone convicted of the felony of "aggravated homosexuality," which was defined as repeated same-sex sexual encounters between consenting adults, any sexual 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 as passed Monday replaces the capital punishment provision for "aggravated homosexuality" with a stipulation mandating life imprisonment and orders that a person charged with the offense must undergo a medical examination — which in practice is usually a forcible anal examination — and HIV test, regardless of the individual's consent.
The law also imposes harsh sentences on those convicted of aiding, abetting, or conspiring to engage in homosexuality. Any person or organization performing a same-sex marriage is likely to lose their licensure and spend as many as seven years in jail. The legislation also includes a section that allows for extradition of Ugandan nationals who are accused of violating the law but may have fled to other countries.
The law also enumerates the numerous ways in which the "promotion of homosexuality" is forbidden, clamping down on individuals, organizations, and media outlets that discuss LGBT identities. Specifically, the law imposes five- to seven-year prison sentences on any individual or group that uses the Internet, film, or mobile phones "for the purposes of homosexuality or promoting homosexuality"; anyone who produces, markets, broadcasts, or disseminates "pornographic materials for purposes of promoting homosexuality"; anyone who "funds or sponsors homosexuality," "offers premises and… fixed or movable assets for purposes of homosexuality"; and anyone who "acts as an accomplice or attempts to promote or in any way abets homosexuality and related practices." If a corporate entity or nongovernmental organization is found guilty of promoting homosexuality, that group's formal registration with the nation will be canceled, and the director of said organization could be imprisoned for seven years.
When signing the bill Monday — under substantial pressure from lawmakers in his own ruling party and religious leaders in the country — President Museveni said he was swayed by the two-page, uncited "scientific" report prepared for him by a group of antigay lawmakers who claimed to have "medical backgrounds."
"After exhaustive studies, it has been found that homosexuality is in two categories," Museveni told members of Parliament gathered to see him sign the bill Monday, according to Uganda's Independent. "There are those who engage in homosexuality for mercenary reasons on account of the underdeveloped sectors of our economy that cause people to remain in poverty … and then there are those that become homosexual by both nature (genetic) and nurture (upbringing). … Can somebody be homosexual purely by nature without nurture? The answer is: 'No.' No study has shown that. Since nurture is the main cause of homosexuality, then society can do something about it to discourage the trends. That is why I have agreed to sign the Bill."
In a characteristically contradictory fashion, Museveni closed his remarks Monday by saying that as a leader and as a country, "We reject the notion that somebody can be homosexual by choice; that a man can choose to love a fellow man; that sexual orientation is a matter of choice."

Kerry Threatens Aid Cuts Over Uganda's 'Jail the Gays' Law

By Sunnivie Brydum Feb. 24, 2014, 7:35 p.m.
99

Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni signed the long-pending Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law Monday, telling legislators he was convinced that homosexuality was a learned behavior, not an innate characteristic.
In response to Museveni's signature making certain instances of homosexuality punishable by life in prison in Uganda, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the Obama administration is now reconsidering the terms of its close relationship with the Ugandan government, echoing the president's statement last week that the he was "deeply disappointed" by the law's then-imminent signing.
"This is a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about the cause of human rights," Kerry said in a statement issued Monday. "Ultimately, the only answer is repeal of this law. … Today’s signing threatens a dangerous slide backward in Uganda’s commitment to protecting the human rights of its people and a serious threat to the LGBT community in Uganda. … Now that this law has been enacted, we are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the Government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values."
When Ugandan lawmakers first considered the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in 2009, the legislation called for the death penalty for anyone convicted of the felony of "aggravated homosexuality," which was defined as repeated same-sex sexual encounters between consenting adults, any sexual 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 as passed Monday replaces the capital punishment provision for "aggravated homosexuality" with a stipulation mandating life imprisonment and orders that a person charged with the offense must undergo a medical examination — which in practice is usually a forcible anal examination — and HIV test, regardless of the individual's consent.
The law also imposes harsh sentences on those convicted of aiding, abetting, or conspiring to engage in homosexuality. Any person or organization performing a same-sex marriage is likely to lose their licensure and spend as many as seven years in jail. The legislation also includes a section that allows for extradition of Ugandan nationals who are accused of violating the law but may have fled to other countries.
The law also enumerates the numerous ways in which the "promotion of homosexuality" is forbidden, clamping down on individuals, organizations, and media outlets that discuss LGBT identities. Specifically, the law imposes five- to seven-year prison sentences on any individual or group that uses the Internet, film, or mobile phones "for the purposes of homosexuality or promoting homosexuality"; anyone who produces, markets, broadcasts, or disseminates "pornographic materials for purposes of promoting homosexuality"; anyone who "funds or sponsors homosexuality," "offers premises and… fixed or movable assets for purposes of homosexuality"; and anyone who "acts as an accomplice or attempts to promote or in any way abets homosexuality and related practices." If a corporate entity or nongovernmental organization is found guilty of promoting homosexuality, that group's formal registration with the nation will be canceled, and the director of said organization could be imprisoned for seven years.
When signing the bill Monday — under substantial pressure from lawmakers in his own ruling party and religious leaders in the country — President Museveni said he was swayed by the two-page, uncited "scientific" report prepared for him by a group of antigay lawmakers who claimed to have "medical backgrounds."
"After exhaustive studies, it has been found that homosexuality is in two categories," Museveni told members of Parliament gathered to see him sign the bill Monday, according to Uganda's Independent. "There are those who engage in homosexuality for mercenary reasons on account of the underdeveloped sectors of our economy that cause people to remain in poverty … and then there are those that become homosexual by both nature (genetic) and nurture (upbringing). … Can somebody be homosexual purely by nature without nurture? The answer is: 'No.' No study has shown that. Since nurture is the main cause of homosexuality, then society can do something about it to discourage the trends. That is why I have agreed to sign the Bill."
In a characteristically contradictory fashion, Museveni closed his remarks Monday by saying that as a leader and as a country, "We reject the notion that somebody can be homosexual by choice; that a man can choose to love a fellow man; that sexual orientation is a matter of choice."
"Since my original thesis that there may be people who are born homosexual has been disproved by science, then the homosexuals have lost the argument in Uganda," continued the president. "They should rehabilitate themselves and society should assist them to do so."
But LGBT activists in Uganda refused to be silenced. Kasha Jacqueline, a lesbian feminist activist and founding director of Freedom and Roam Uganda, one of the nation's oldest human rights and LGBT advocacy groups, defiantly tweeted a photo of herself Monday wearing a shirt reading "Sex Is Politics," adorned in rainbow colors:








In response to a Twitter user who suggested that she seek asylum in the United States, Jaqueline was resolute about staying in her country and continuing the fight for LGBT equality. "Thanks dear," she wrote Monday. "But I need to stay behind and join my other community that may not have the same opportunity. We need to be together more."

Kerry Threatens Aid Cuts Over Uganda's 'Jail the Gays' Law

By Sunnivie Brydum Feb. 24, 2014, 7:35 p.m.

Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni signed the long-pending Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law Monday, telling legislators he was convinced that homosexuality was a learned behavior, not an innate characteristic.
In response to Museveni's signature making certain instances of homosexuality punishable by life in prison in Uganda, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the Obama administration is now reconsidering the terms of its close relationship with the Ugandan government, echoing the president's statement last week that the he was "deeply disappointed" by the law's then-imminent signing.
"This is a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about the cause of human rights," Kerry said in a statement issued Monday. "Ultimately, the only answer is repeal of this law. … Today’s signing threatens a dangerous slide backward in Uganda’s commitment to protecting the human rights of its people and a serious threat to the LGBT community in Uganda. … Now that this law has been enacted, we are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the Government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values."
When Ugandan lawmakers first considered the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in 2009, the legislation called for the death penalty for anyone convicted of the felony of "aggravated homosexuality," which was defined as repeated same-sex sexual encounters between consenting adults, any sexual 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 as passed Monday replaces the capital punishment provision for "aggravated homosexuality" with a stipulation mandating life imprisonment and orders that a person charged with the offense must undergo a medical examination — which in practice is usually a forcible anal examination — and HIV test, regardless of the individual's consent.
The law also imposes harsh sentences on those convicted of aiding, abetting, or conspiring to engage in homosexuality. Any person or organization performing a same-sex marriage is likely to lose their licensure and spend as many as seven years in jail. The legislation also includes a section that allows for extradition of Ugandan nationals who are accused of violating the law but may have fled to other countries.
The law also enumerates the numerous ways in which the "promotion of homosexuality" is forbidden, clamping down on individuals, organizations, and media outlets that discuss LGBT identities. Specifically, the law imposes five- to seven-year prison sentences on any individual or group that uses the Internet, film, or mobile phones "for the purposes of homosexuality or promoting homosexuality"; anyone who produces, markets, broadcasts, or disseminates "pornographic materials for purposes of promoting homosexuality"; anyone who "funds or sponsors homosexuality," "offers premises and… fixed or movable assets for purposes of homosexuality"; and anyone who "acts as an accomplice or attempts to promote or in any way abets homosexuality and related practices." If a corporate entity or nongovernmental organization is found guilty of promoting homosexuality, that group's formal registration with the nation will be canceled, and the director of said organization could be imprisoned for seven years.
When signing the bill Monday — under substantial pressure from lawmakers in his own ruling party and religious leaders in the country — President Museveni said he was swayed by the two-page, uncited "scientific" report prepared for him by a group of antigay lawmakers who claimed to have "medical backgrounds."
"After exhaustive studies, it has been found that homosexuality is in two categories," Museveni told members of Parliament gathered to see him sign the bill Monday, according to Uganda's Independent. "There are those who engage in homosexuality for mercenary reasons on account of the underdeveloped sectors of our economy that cause people to remain in poverty … and then there are those that become homosexual by both nature (genetic) and nurture (upbringing). … Can somebody be homosexual purely by nature without nurture? The answer is: 'No.' No study has shown that. Since nurture is the main cause of homosexuality, then society can do something about it to discourage the trends. That is why I have agreed to sign the Bill."
In a characteristically contradictory fashion, Museveni closed his remarks Monday by saying that as a leader and as a country, "We reject the notion that somebody can be homosexual by choice; that a man can choose to love a fellow man; that sexual orientation is a matter of choice."
"Since my original thesis that there may be people who are born homosexual has been disproved by science, then the homosexuals have lost the argument in Uganda," continued the president. "They should rehabilitate themselves and society should assist them to do so."
But LGBT activists in Uganda refused to be silenced. Kasha Jacqueline, a lesbian feminist activist and founding director of Freedom and Roam Uganda, one of the nation's oldest human rights and LGBT advocacy groups, defiantly tweeted a photo of herself Monday wearing a shirt reading "Sex Is Politics," adorned in rainbow colors:








In response to a Twitter user who suggested that she seek asylum in the United States, Jaqueline was resolute about staying in her country and continuing the fight for LGBT equality. "Thanks dear," she wrote Monday. "But I need to stay behind and join my other community that may not have the same opportunity. We need to be together more."

Joseph Smith caption

One woman wasn't enough for old Joe Smith... She was just the first!










http://www.atheistnexus.org/profiles/blogs/mondo-diablo-episode-214-our

Scientology caption

Because science-fiction stories make for a great religion.






http://www.atheistnexus.org/forum/topics/h2-sister-cable-network-to-a-e-does-best-scientology-expose-to?commentId=2182797%3AComment%3A2404291&xg_source=activity

I think the Jehovah's Witnesses just described themselves!!!!

 Well, speak of the Devil. Don't worry, I will be sure to beware of  false prophets because the JW's are some of the most notable false  religious prophets in the history of the world. That much, "The Watchtower" and I can agree on. The only question is, when do we get to stone the JW's to death? Yahweh gives us full permission to destroy false prophets. Ask the ancient Israelites, that was one of their specialties. You cannot tell me that we cannot do it, the Bible supports it...and it is the "Word of God" and not to mention, Jesus did say that not one word of the Law will pass away until the Kingdom of Yahweh is established and that he came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it and you cannot disagree with the Son of God....can you?






http://www.atheistnexus.org/group/exjw?commentId=2182797%3AComment%3A594984

An autistic JW creating photoshop captions that make fun of Orthodox Mormons...can you say hypocrite?, a sad mention of a JW teen dying from lack of a blood tranfusion and a mention of the JW idiot still known as "Prince".

 Comment by TNT666 on May 21, 2010 at 4:35am
Nice choice of words Amy. Interesting
.
 Comment by Nikki Chaffin on May 18, 2010 at 9:01pm
Yes Rob, typical JW. They're the most lost of them all I think. Probably because there is no leniency, there's a constant indoctrination process going on not to succumb to the evil's of "worldly" people. There's so many hours a week spent in meetings and such, they can't associate with anyone outside of their religion unless they're in service. The blood thing is a big deal and one they don't deviate from. It's sad, no more sad I suppose than what goes on in other extreme reliigions. I think what makes JW's different, scarier, is that if you are a person who believes god exists and that the bible is the word of god, then it's much easier to succumb to the rest that follows with them, because the bible is taken so literally, piece by piece. If you know better though, you're safe, even though they're very trained in all the talking points for the door to door service. So glad I'm not on that side anymore.
 And yes I fully agree with your comments of earthquakes and suffering. I pondered it a lot a few years ago, how people can claim that Oh god has a plan or whatever nonsense, when one person survives or many die. I don't think had I not gone through such an intense ordeal of suffering would I have ever arrived where I'm at now. It's the only good thing that came out of it.
.
 Comment by Rob N on May 18, 2010 at 6:19pm
Wow, some really moving posts guys, Amy thanks for the considered response. Nikki, welcome to the group, I'm sorry to hear about your accident but glad you seem to have come through it stronger.
 Amy, I know what you mean that you "WANT to see things as they REALLY are, not as I want them to be."
 I think that's something all Atheists have in common, I agree that the best way to make people question their faith is to be a good person and an Atheist; two things which aren't supposed to go together. I find humanism gives me more of a moral direction, and also tells a person more about my life-stance; saying you're Atheist is fine, it says you don't believe in any god, but to say you're a Humanist says more, it says we don't need gods because there is majesty and beauty in humanity, we can take credit for the amazing things we've done; and keep striving to do more. We know what is right/wrong, moral/immoral, and we don't need scripture to dictate it to us, we can work it out for ourselves.
 Nikki mentioned earthquakes, it always annoys me that if a child is pulled from the wreckage after two days, it is called a 'miracle', and god is thanked. Why are people thanking him for saving one when he's killed hundreds? Why not thank the rescue worker or whoever pulled the poor thing from the rubble? Whose determination when others had given up, paid off. To thank god for everything, and not ourselves is infantile.
 Nikki, a Jehovah's Witness died in my city this week, he was 16 and was hit by a car, he refused a blood transfusion due to his religion; he had been canvassing at the time to spread god's word. Of course it makes no sense to us because 'The lord works in mysterious ways.'

Wow..... the JW's are so delusional and  so obsessed with sex that they see it everywhere. They even see it, they even see the most sexiest of imageries on people's door steps. Perverts! They only wish they could check out the Orthodox Mormon's magical undershorts! Sk8ey Cat's sister was born autistic, but being a JW is a choice and not a very good one if all you think about is sex. Ask the confused young girl in this picture.

1. Find Love








I've said it before, so I will say it again. I thought Christians living a life without sex was admirable or is that only if you are a Catholic priest? It seems that unmarried heterosexual couples, same-sex couples and polyamorous couples are forced and manipulated into living a life of romantic and sexual repression until death or else you will face eternal punishment in a lake of fire or be annihilated and remain eternally dead when Armageddon occurs. That's not fair. Don't encourage someone to live a life in loneliness, if your not willing to do it and cannot handle it.
