Did you know that Uganda had +30% inflation & riots over the last year? Me neither.

30. Here is where you are highly incorrect.

You say "most people here at du are very conscious of the "kill the gay" bill. they were not aware of the inflation, food riots, and the crackdown on dissidents & dissidence, including imprisonment & shooting in the streets"
But if they were 'very conscious' don't you think they know about the context in which that law is being promoted? They are 'very conscious' of it, but also have no idea about Uganda? Really?
I'd say the only people who seem to give a fuck about Uganda's treament of Ugandans are the international gay community. The rest of you say 'oh, that anti gay bill' and you move on, for years on end. 'Yes, that bill, we are very conscious of it. We just never took any steps to become informed, because we are so very conscious....
You say there is genocide going on now. Yet you take issue with the word when applied to gay Ugandans facing specific law to allow those already muderous officials to murder more, more efficiently. To me, that is just odd and hard to fathom. 'Sure they are already genocidal and sure they are focusing on gay peole next for genocide, but to actually use that word...well we prefer to say 'anti gay bill''.
