    American conservatives (The Fellowship Foundation, Family Research Council, Focus on the Family and other conservatives) pushed these laws to kill LGBT people in African nations. They spent tens of millions influencing local politicians to pass these deadly laws. American conservatives did this. The same conservatives who are pushing this agenda now in the U.S.

    Conservatism is a disease that infects entire nations. Symptoms include oppression, sickness and death. This plague is on the rise globally and is in desperate need of a cure.

    There is no amount of “good conservatism”. It is all a deadly plague and should be treated as such.

      I am so outraged by the conservative terrorists in our midst. We cannot let hate prevail.

      If you say no homo at the end of getting pounded, then it’s ok.

      Why? It’s a start. It shows Uganda that the USA is reviewing how they help the country. If they have aid pulled from this, it can very much affect. Also they have sanctions in place for some already it seems.
