A strong gin and tonic, my friends, is in order. A very strong gin and tonic, indeed. Let us get all our vaccinations, including that against stupidity, and head to the fabulous hot spot on the African Continent, Uganda.
Yes, Uganda.
Not only do 72% of the population live ever so slightly above the international poverty line ($5.00 a day), but they are very socially conscious and forward thinking. For example, they have removed life imprisonment and the death penalty for being either gay, HIV positive, or both. Yippee.
Now, we still have the problem that one may receive the sentence of up to three years for knowing someone is gay and not reporting them. It is also an “extraditable offense”. This means, if you are caught sucking a dick, and you have a dick, you can be ordered back to Uganda to stand trial. Even in the United States of America, where it is legal to do sexy times with anyone as long as they are of age anywhere, even Utah. (Though they try to keep this on the down low because it gives all the polygamous child rapers a bad name, you know…)
And now, Rick Warren, that bastion of Christianity (still not sure he actually read the part of the Gospels that mention Christ not judging people, loving everyone and, oh yeah, NOT JUDGING EVERYONE!!!!), has come out in a video stating that this bill, even without the death penalty and life imprisonment, is “unchristian”.
Really?
No shit, Sherlock!
Nevertheless, the fact is, our world, even the homophobic and underdeveloped, undereducated backwaters of Africa, are slowly moving away from these old and tired stereotypes. We have a global world, with internet and text messaging, and social networking sites that break down these insignificant barriers.
What are you afraid of Uganda?
Are you afraid that if you like to suck a dick, you can’t shoot a gun?
You’ve obviously never had sex with a man in an deer stand.
And it was good, too.
