oh auntie

that just didn't need to be worded like that, did it? i mean nothing would have been lost by wording it 'Ugandan parliament propose bill that could see homosexuality punished by death'. that still shocks enough for people to be made aware of the subject and stop them in their tracks, which seems to be the argument in favour of the more acidic wording

the main argument against seems to be..'you couldn't say 'should jews/black people be executed', so why should you be allowed to say this?'

thoughts on the whole thing?

as always, some cracking posts..

''They Africa bigots ought to take a closer look at what Gay?s contribution to Western Society really had been over centuries. Whether it is art, theatre, culture, music and dance, computer sciences, health, education, civil service, even the armed forces''

oh well, y'know...they love a dance, we know that...but they've fired guns in their time too y'know, don't you worry about that pal.
