Uganda Kill The Gays Bill Exposé: Scott Lively, David Bahati, David Kato

by David Badash

In this exposé, Current TV’s Mariana van Zeller went to Uganda and filmed the video below, “Missionaries of Hate,” “that examines whether the growing influence of American religious groups led to a movement that would make homosexuality a crime punishable by death in the African country.”

She asks, “Must we wait for Kato’s murder to be solved before we can safely say that “men of God” and leaders of state are inciting hatred?”

It’s a frightening exposé on Uganda’s “Kill The Gays” bill, Scott Lively, David Bahati, David Kato, and the evils of American Evangelical Christians.

If this is the kind of work Current TV’s new boss, Keith Olbermann will support, we’re all for it!

Ugandan Lesbian Can Stay in U.K.

By Advocate.com Editors

A lesbian from Uganda who faced being deported back to her home country will be allowed to remain in the United Kingdom under a temporary reprieve.

The U.K. high court granted Brenda Namiggade the temporary stay Friday, after David Kato, a gay Ugandan activist, was found dead in his home. It is suspected that he was murdered for being gay, as he has publicly said he feared for his life.

Namiggade has been living in the U.K. since 2002 and applied for asylum so she could become a permanent legal resident there. However, an immigration judge overseeing her case said there was no evidence that Namiggade was a lesbian. She was scheduled to be deported to Uganda Friday from Heathrow Airport and had even been escorted to the airport, where she heard the news that she would be allowed to remain in her adopted country, according to the BBC.

Namiggade, 29, told The Advocate Thursday that she was so worried she had been unable to eat for days. Antigay Ugandan lawmaker David Bahati said she would be welcome to return as long as she “abandon or repent her behavior.”

“I’m not going to repent, because that’s who I am,” Namigadde said. “David Bahati is going to put a death penalty on me.”
