Ugandans take on the world as Anti gay law is passed

07:29 by tsup ug
President Museveni today signed the controversial, anti-gay bill and even before the news could spread the topic was breaking records on all social medias like Twitter, FaceBook and different websites.
on the record only ten minutes after the president declared gay behavior criminal, one feminine activist; Kasha Jacqueline posted a picture of her self where she came out as gay.
but that wasn't all, ugandans started taking on the world on websites of CNN, BBC, ABC, The Guardian to justify what they support.
We sample some of them here;

The irony could not be greater: the anti-gay hysteria in Uganda could never have reached a level capable of producing a bill this draconian and inhuman if that country were truly independent “in the face of Western pressure and provocation.” It’s merely a question of which specific Western influences Museveni has chosen to adopt. In a couple hours he will place himself on the wrong side of history (along with the Ugandan parliament and certain American “Christian” megachurches), and he will bear much responsibility in the eyes of the world for the human cost of the ensuing witch hunt.

Anti-gay laws are needed in every country of Europe to limit the promotion of degeneracy. LGBT’s have been running wild for too long.

It is common practice for those who don't know how to govern to use social "wedge issues" like homosexuality and abortion to distract the public from the fact that they are being screwt (getting around the awesome CNN filters there) ... see the American Republican party for another example. Uganda is just Ted Cruz on steroids.

useless post. US news talk about Bieber, Gaga, Katy perry, 1direction and other pop star hacks with no talent on prime time news when they the real problems such as increasing poverty, unemployment, inflation, debt, privacy and host of real issues never get much airtime

Your argument *sounds* good... until you put it in a different context.
Suppose the country was also anti-Christian and passed a law making Christianity illegal, punishable by life imprisonment. Do you still think the majority is always right?
Or suppose the country believed children with blue eyes were possessed by demons which had to be physically cut out of their abdomens (killing the child). Should the president sign a law requiring doctors to perform the procedure on all blue-eyed children, if the majority in the country believe it?
The majority is NOT always right.
