Uganda passes tough anti-gay laws.

[Cory]

Savages.

[Cory]

Awful new laws, though perhaps not as awful as the racism/neo-colonialism pervading this thread.

*facepalm*

So anti-gay laws in Uganda aren't as "awful" as having your feelings hurt on an internet message board? Ugh.

If someone behaves like a savage they will be called one. Barbarism is real, not all cultures are equal.

[Cory]

As a matter of general principle homophobia is about equally awful to racism, is the point that we're trying to make.

This isn't about race, despite how much as you want it to be.

[Cory]

What makes you think I 'want' this to 'be about race'?

Because you keep trying to make it that way. This isn't about race, it's a social thing. I would say the same of the Taliban or Serbian militants.

[Cory]

Perhaps you would, but you're not. If this isn't about race then isn't about you, Cory, and your preferred interpretations of words either.

Because this thread is about Uganda.

It's official, President Yoweri Museveni has signed a modified version of the bill... basically the only thing the changed was "death" to "life in prison"

And to think they ask why Westerners think less of them. Oh well, eventually they will socially evolve out of this madness as their economies develop and education proliferates.
