Just why the fuck do we give aid to Uganda and also promise them aid will not be cut?

OK, so this really pisses me of. Why the F do we support a place like Uganda?

(Uganda president has now signed.)

Uganda to pass death penalty for gays, their landlords, NGO donors, anyone who doesn’t report gays to cops

Here’s what the new law is going to do:

Have gay sex once: life in prison (which is already the law).

Have gay sex twice: death.

Have gay sex once with a person with a disability: death. The law assumes that people with disabilities are all helpless victims. The law also ensures that a gay person with a disability is the last person on the planet you’re ever going to have sex with, thus punishing people with disabilities even more than average gay Ugandans.

Rent an apartment to a gay person, and they have sex with someone in that apartment, ever: life in prison for the landlord.

Rent a second apartment to a gay person, and they have sex with someone in that apartment, ever: death for the landlord.

Have sex, even consensual, and you have HIV, even if you disclose your status to your partner, or even if you didn’t even know you had HIV: death.

I don’t use the word Nazi lightly. This is Nazi. Putting an entire community to death simply because of the way they were born?

We Don’t Have Money For Medicare or Social Security, But We Have Half a Billion to Murder All Gays in Uganda?

US Ambassador Scott DeLisi Reassured Ugandans their Aid Won’t Be Cut, Presumably That Covers Killing Gays Too

1. This is genocide and it needs to be stopped.

If we can end it by cutting off aid to them, we need to do so. I would consider anything short of invasion over this. It's as evil as it gets, and we can thank American RW Christians for helping to bring it to fruition.

2. A few well placed drones in Uganda would help! American RW Christians are just like the Taliban, but

many in the US are too blinded with their religion to see what is going on in this country let alone Uganda. I'm sure quite a few of the Christian Taliban in the US are celebrating this and are partying and hopeful they can bring this to the US.

I hope the US does not just sloth this off.

3. Me too. The only way it will even be reported is if a major effort it brought to

get it into the public eye. We can't do much about what Russia does, but we can certainly affect what happens in Uganda. The country needs to see that their money is supporting the genocidal government of Uganda. If we can get enough people to say, "Not my money!," maybe we can end this.

4. oil?

That's my default answer.

5. Probably, there must be some kind of payback involved. n/t

8. Often, the US does not play with a full deck with respect to our foreign policy. It is

often mind numbing.
