On Monday, Uganda President Yoweri Musevini signed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which includes life imprisonment for repeat offenders and jail time for people who fail to report homosexuals to police. This the latest on the repercussions of the world’s most homophobic legislation.
The 2009 Anti-Homosexuality Bill has been now passed by Uganda's parliament. The President could sign it into law as early as tomorrow as LGBT people fear further persecution in the conservative country.
While it is easy, and often necessary, to express our anger and abhorrence at laws motivated by homophobia, we have to ask where does this bigotry come from...
Activist David Kato, whose name and photograph was published in a tabloid story that promised to out 100 homosexuals next to a headline reading 'hang them', was bludgeoned to death in his home near the capital; tabloid editor says he has no regrets about the story despite Kato's death.
Not content to promote gay hate in Africa, the archbishop of Uganda – at the African Anglican Church conference which included participation from the Archbishop of Singapore and the breakaway Anglican Church in North America – has urged hundreds of African bishops to re-evangelise to "ailing" churches in the US.
David Bahati, the Ugandan MP responsible for the draconian Anti-Homosexuality Bill currently under consideration, is found to be linked to “The Fellowship”, a US-based religious and political organisation that is "waging spiritual war in the halls of American power and around the globe."

Taking a step to try something you’ve never done before or have but failed in it, is always a huge risk. Either you fail again or you elevate to the next level but first thing first, you must take the step of risk. Tell me what amount of risk do I have to take to get to what’s rightfully mine; and I will tell you how much ready I am to risk even my own life for it……
