Time magazine covers Ugandan anti-gay bill, calls attention to Rick Warren's cowardice

Time magazine has now reported on the Ugandan anti-gay bill and there are so many good things in this article, including the fact that it puts the blame for the bill on the shoulders of members of the United States religious right:

The bill has an American genesis of sorts, inspired to a large extent by the visits of U.S. evangelicals who are involved with a movement that promotes Christianity's role in getting homosexuals to become "ex-gays" through prayer and faith. Ugandan supporters of the bill appear to be particularly impressed by the ideas of Scott Lively, a California conservative preacher who has written a book, The Pink Swastika, about what he calls the links between Nazism and a gay agenda for world domination, which, by itself, would have raised the anti-colonial sensitivities of Ugandan society. Says the Rev. Kapya Kaoma, an Episcopalian priest from Zambia who authored a recent report on anti-gay politics in Uganda, Nigeria and Kenya: "The U.S. culture wars have been exported to Africa."

It's nice to see the blatant hypocrisy is being noticed and reported. Perhaps the tide is turning and the RRRW is going to finally fall.

I created links to all Rachel's clips, Alvin's post PLUS a reaction by an ex-gay advocate from Exodus International. I haven't read it yet, I'm sure we have less painful things to do, but it is here for anyone who wants to analyze. And, as Alvin already knows, prepare for more reactions from these quacks.

I believe that the idea that gays could have dominion over the world is one of their projected memes. It is they who have a radical religious christianist domination hallucination, not the gays. This is one of the fundamental principles of the C Street Family, to take over governments by stealth and ensure christian dogma is legislated for all.
