Uganda Prohibits Homosexual Conduct, Under Guidance of American Missionaries.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/frank-schaeffer/killing-ugandas-gays-the_b_378350.html Now not only are some African Christians targeting alledged witches, they are now starting to persecute gays, and lesbians, as well. It's bad enough with predominately Islamic countries in the northern part of Africa repressing human rights, in the name of religion. But now evangelical missionaries, from my own country of America, are encouraging southern Africans to oppress people as well. I feel that foreign governments should not give Repressive Tolerance to such totalitarian sects. http://www.marcuse.org/herbert/pubs/60spubs/65repressivetolerance.htm They should instead bar them from entering the sovereign borders of there nations, and undermining democratic principles. And people in the free world should keep in mind that this is what we too might become, if the religious reactionary Right were to gain control of our nations. Governments should be governed according to the will of the people, not according to the supposed will of God. Indivisuals have an inherant inalienable right to exercise free will. As long as it does not infringe upon other's rights, and wellbeing, one should be allowed to do as one pleases, according to one's own conscience. To live, and let live. Religions which deny this basic truth must not be permitted to propogate there beliefs, in the interest of a Free society .
