You have probably heard about the pending law in Uganda that would mandate the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality." This include any mixing of alcohol and gay sex. In other words, buy a guy a drink in a bar and take him home, and you've committed a capitol offense. Seriously. The law also includes life imprisonment for "promoting homosexuality," speaking out in favor of gay rights, or just having gay sex once. There are also jail terms for those who fail to turn in a gay person, like a mother or father.
Guess who's involved in this up to his eyeballs? None other than Pastor Rick Warren. You know Rick, he's the guy who lied that he wasn't involved in the Prop 8 fight when he actually fought hard to strip gay Californians of rights he enjoys. He's the guy who said he's not homophobic because he loves Melissa Etheridge music. He's the guy who was hand-picked by President Obama to give the invocation at the inauguration. You can read about his deep involvement in murdering gays in Uganda here.
UPDATE: Warren has made a video condemning the proposed law and denying any involvement in it. The pressure must be working.
