Uganda MPs pass controversial anti-gay law

The death penalty was apparently removed from the law.

The Ugandan politician who introduced the bill to parliament argued that tough new legislation was needed because homosexuals from the West threaten to destroy Ugandan families by allegedly "recruiting" Ugandan children into gay lifestyles.

Ugandan gays denied this claim, saying that Ugandan political and religious leaders had come under the influence of American evangelicals who wanted to spread their anti-gay campaign in Africa.

Take a look at this map. Per the Iranian government, there are no gay people in Iran. So I'm not sure why they need any laws on this topic. Anyway, this is pretty stunning.

Well, the Iranians must be right. They have developed the gay-o-meter to detect homosexuals. It's science.
