'I Kill Them!': HBO's VICE Goes To Uganda To See What American Anti-Gay Christians Have Created
American Christian extremists have found a willing host in Uganda, where they have so dramatically affected the culture that average citizens now consider raping and killing gay people a duty.
The latest episode of HBO's VICE, "A Prayer for Uganda," exposes what American Christian extremists, like Scott Lively, have done to the country of Uganda. A poor, landlocked nation of about 37 million people, Uganda has become synonymous with its "Kill The Gays" bill, that was debated for year, generating international condemnation and fear. It became law and then was tossed out by the Ugandan Supreme Court, but only on a technicality.
VICE interviews Member of Parliament David Bahati (image, top left), who authored the bill. "Homosexuality is evil," he says. Bahati is a member of the secretive Washington, D.C. based organization known as The Family, which has helped to coordinate the war against LGBT people in Uganda.

Whoever "The Family" is needs to be outed and this is no joke. What VICE covered was very disturbing I was relieved the next one was about a daughter that needs a kidney and the waiting list is like 10 years but that was just how bad the first one was with "corrective rapes". Inhofe.
On edit -- from the VICE journalist who has a very horrified and sickened look hearing the mean discuss how lesbians need to be raped
VICE correspondent Isobel Yeung that's her face in the top right image interviewed poor, working class men. She wrote later, "I don't ever recall feeling as heartbroken as the week we spent shooting this."
