The Anti-Homosexuality Bill features several provisions that human rights groups say would spur a witch hunt of homosexuals in the country:
• Gays and lesbians convicted of having gay sex would be sentenced, at minimum, to life in prison
• People who test positive for HIV may be executed
• Homosexuals who have sex with a minor, or engage in homosexual sex more than once, may also receive the death penalty
• The bill forbids the "promotion of homosexuality," which in effect bans organizations working in HIV and AIDS prevention
• Anyone who knows of homosexual activity taking place but does not report it would risk up to three years in prison

Whoo. Such progress in Africa. This country must be the most civilized in the world!
Would it surprise anyone to know some christian evangelicals in California are responsible for this?
Which makes me wonder. Are Muslim dictators running this country, as they do in some other African countries? Military dictators claiming they were hand-chosen by the Christian god?
On my blog, I made a remark that considering how screwed up Africa is, with all the genocide and civil war and military dictators, we ought to just nuke the place and be done with it. It was of course a comment made in jest.
But several of my so-called friends were somewhat upset over the comment. One ranted and raved about how it was "OUR" fault that Africa's like it is. She was referring to the European colonizing of Africa, which I fail to see is MY fault. Yes, my ancestors may or may not have been responsible, but s**t that happened in the distant past cannot be considered my fault or require that I fix the problem.
