On Monday, Scott Lively will tell a federal court why he supports Uganda's extreme persecution of gays and lesbians.

The U.S. evangelist and anti-gay crusader's trial begins Jan. 7 in Massachusetts. Lively is being sued for crimes against humanity by the organization Sexual Minorities of Uganda, represented by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR).

From CCR website:

"The suit alleges that Lively’s involvement in anti-gay efforts in Uganda, including his active participation in a conspiracy to strip away fundamental rights from LGBT persons constitutes persecution. This is the first known Alien Tort Statute (ATS) case seeking accountability for persecution on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity."

The ATS allows suits to be brought to American courts by non-U.S. citizens who claim to be victims of violations of international law (such as crimes against humanity) perpetrated outside the U.S.

2. K&R

Scott Lively and the C-Street band of scum.

If only they were one-tenth as concerned with the bible's admonitions against greed.

3. Excellent! It's time for assholes like this to get what's due them. They get away with sadistic

persecution, well, because he's godly. It's a bunch of damn bullshit ... it's haters, persecution lovers and torturers operating under and getting a free ride because he mentions the god word and thumps the bible.

4. Not only that, does it from comfort and safety thousands of miles away. Or does he kill here. too?

Maybe he and his pals should be investigated for hate crimes in this country as well.

7. Scott Lively belongs in a mental institution...

He looks like a normal looking intelligent (and might I say attractive) guy, doesn't he? Evangelists have driven themselves crazy with religious zealotry. They have crossed that fine line between sanity and insanity. Between law abiding and criminal. Between civilized and uncivilized. They are the criminally insane. And they are running loose in the US and all over the world now. So when they convict this guy, where are they gong to put him? In prison or in a mental institution?
