Don’t Blame Me, I Only Hate the Gays

I find it absolutely amazing how the “religious leaders” of America who have been directly involved in the anti-gay legislation in Uganda, don’t have the courage and absolutely refuse to stand up and take responsibilities for their actions. First Rick Warren who claims he only told Ugandan officials it was OK to hate the gays, but not kill them and now, yet another one.

They can’t deny the fact they’ve been to Uganda. They can’t deny the fact their published works have been cited in the debate over the death penalty for being gay, they can’t deny they were directly asked by Ugandan lawmakers about how to stop the “homosexual agenda” from advancing in their country as it has in the U.S., yet they can’t seem to admit the truth, which is they are largely responsible for spawning what I view as nothing less than criminal acts against LGBT humans.

In a recent radio interview on NPR, Evangelical Pastor Scott Lively stated the Ugandan Parliament did in fact invite “him and other U.S. religious leaders to speak about the homosexual movement and how it should be addressed in the East African country“, but Lively also dismisses any blame for the harsh penalties being considered by claiming he “recommended an approach rooted in rehabilitation.”

Well Mr. Lively, perhaps you did, or did not only recommend rehabilitation, but rehabilitation alone is a crime. If you were in fact educated, you would understand you have as much success “rehabilitating” someone from being a nationality as you do “rehabilitating” someones sexual identity. It simply can NOT happen, and when attempts are made, disastrous results follow.

You also fail to realize that if indeed you did encourage “rehab” over penalties, you may have very well incited such a law, as other can easily see your failed attempts at “rehab” withing the U.S., and they (Ugandans) can obviously see that great strides of progress towards equality has been made in the U.S., therefore, you suggestions were simply ammunition for the anti-gay Ugandans to use as a model for what NOT to do.

I firmly believe that if one Ugandan citizens falls prey to this law should it pass, then all U.S. “religious ambassadors” who were consulted by the Ugandan Parliament, and did not speak out against any type of punishment based on one’s sexuality, should be held liable for their actions against international human rights and should be tried and convicted for aiding and abetting in murder.

Scott Lively is the founder of the anti-gay Abiding Truth Ministries and is the author of “The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality In the Nazi Party.”
