Uganda Debates Death Penalty for Gays
I was browsing on my facebook site when I happen to find a news about a bill proposal in Uganda stating that gays and homos could face lifetime imprisonment or worse, even death just because of their preferences.
Even landlords who rent rooms for gays or other sects and groups who abets or counsels another to engage in acts of homosexuality would also be punished. More like an accessory to the 'crime', as what I view it. Though, how offensive a 'crime' like this is, really?
It's bullshit. Quoting from someone who linked this news to his facebook site, this act is truly outrageous and there really is too much ignorance, hatred, discrimination and bigotry in this world. Murder, theft, perjury, rape and the likes are what I would call crimes but being gay and choosing how you would live your life is certainly NOT.
We are all human and this act is certainly not human. Each of us has a right to live, to be respected, be loved and be accepted no matter what our choices are as long as we do not aggravate anybody. There are some people who may be against with gays and they will always be there to condemn the rights of the homosexuals, but were they even hurt by these gay people? Aren't they biased on making their decisions and arent they generalizing the gay community just because of an experience that may have happened to them?
If this bill will pass, it will only promote hatred, fear, discrimination, humiliation; all directed towards the gay community. Do you think it's even right?
