Ugandan's anti-gay bill

If Uganda's anti-homosexuality bill becomes law, it will be little short of state-sponsored "genocide" against the gay community, a prominent member of the Ugandan Anglican church said this week.

Canon Gideon Byamugisha said the bill, which recommends the death penalty for anyone repeatedly convicted of having gay sex and prison sentences for those who fail to report homosexual activity to the police, would breed violence and intolerance through all levels of society.

This 'anti-gay' bill that is on the table in Uganda is frightening. No matter how you view Scripture's take on homosexuality, I would hope all Christians would agree that violence against a person of any kind is wrong. I encourage you to sign the petition condemning this bill.

that is really horrible. even if you believe homosexuality to be somehow wrong, how does this punishment possibly fit the crime?
