Life in prison for saying you're gay


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-65034343

Thats the new reality in Uganda thanks to a new law they have passed.

So who thinks "too right, serves them right for being gaylords, we should do that here"

and who thinks this is an appalling oppression of a minority that has no place in the 21st century world and Uganda should be shunned and sanctioned for it by the civilized nations?

reply

That's basically the law in Russia also. That's why the rightwing in the US loves Putin. And Desantis's "Don't Say Gay" law is basically a version of Russian anti-LGBT laws.

reply

Yup. Right-wingers everywhere are just repackaged theocrats.

reply

And you're a hate-monger for people you disagree with. You are no better.

But Americans have it so bad. Move to Africa and find out, fucktards.

reply

YOU FIRST.

reply

He's right though.

reply

HE MOVED TO AFRICA AND "FOUND OUT"?...OR IS HE TALKING OUT OF HIS ASS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?...ALSO HE IS CLEARLY BEING DISENGENUOUS...HE IS INTOLERANT AND USING TERRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCES AS A WARNING OF SORTS TO AMERICAN HOMOSEXUALS TO SIT ON THEIR HANDS AND BE QUIET BECAUSE THEY ARE SO FUCKING LUCKY.

HE ISN'T RIGHT...HE IS A TERRORIST.

reply

He's right that it's worse in Uganda. You can be gay and get married in the US of A.

reply

They're trying to kill the gay by getting us married. But that's another issue.

reply

Direct violence isn't required anymore. The internet allows manipulators to make the sheep walk themselves into the slaughter house!

Sheep to the slaughterhouse is right in terms of gay marriage.

reply

A terrorist, for pointing out the truth??? I guess that's another word that liberals throw around until it doesn't mean anything.

No, the point is that 'some' Americans think it's so bad, when 99% of this crap is their creation, because life has become so easy and activist culture needs a villain.

Please tell me how alphabet people in America are living with hardship that is not internal? What we really need is to address much of it for what it is, mental illness.

reply

THE SECOND YOU POINT OUT ANY TRUTH...I WILL LET YOU KNOW,CRAIGY.😘

reply

The second you post ANYTHING worth reading, I'll let you know.

reply

DEAL.

reply

Still hasn't happened 🤣🤣🤣

reply

I don't agree with it, but I suppose Uganda respect their decision.

reply

the grammar isnt great ,

Did you mean
I don't agree with it, but I respect Uganda's decision. ?


reply

It was a pun. Substitute "Uganda" with "you gotta".

reply

🤣👍
nice!

i missed that

reply

You should know by now samoanjoes doesn't make mistakes. There's always a joke in there somewhere.

reply

If you have to explain your "joke" you have failed.

reply

You hate Ugandans because they're black.

reply

Oddly enough, homophobia is quite prevalent among black Americans but it's rarely talked about in the media.

reply

Why is it called "homophobia" if you dont care for gays? "Phobia" describes a mental illness. Do you have fishphopia if you dont like fish? Do you have turdphobia if you refuse to eat shit?

reply

I don't like to use 'phobia' to describe anything or anyone but it's the only type of word that liberals understand, so you have to use it occasionally.

reply

Naah, i dont bend to their 'newspeak'.

reply

I am going to treat this the same way I felt about the whole gay marriage issue in America.

I am straight and I just don't care.
Not one of my battles or concerns.

reply

I love how you say this, and yet claim to be "progressive".

reply

WTF can I do about this?
One has to pick their battles and concerns.
You wanna take it on, go for it.

reply

Sure. And if the same kind of law came to the USA?

Would you just be "meh"?

reply

Probably.

reply

So under no reasonable definition can you remotely be characterised as progressive. You are the literal opposite.

reply

If you wanna think that you just go on right ahead.

reply

What makes you progressive?

reply

DeSantis is expanding his "Don't Say Gay!" bill to include ALL grade levels including high school.

Numerous red states have introduced the "Don't Say Gay!" bill.

reply

100% untrue as usual.

Show us on the bill where it states this.

You can't.

Peace out.

https://flrules.org/Faw/FAWDocuments/FAWVOLUMEFOLDERS2023/4952/4952doc.pdf

"The proposal, which would not require legislative approval, is scheduled for a vote next month before the state Board of Education and has been put forth by state Education Department, both of which are led by appointees of the governor.

The rule change would ban lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity from grades 4 to 12, unless required by existing state standards or as part of reproductive health instruction that students can choose not to take. The initial law that DeSantis championed last spring bans those lessons in kindergarten through the third grade. The change was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel." (From PBS paraphrasing)

Is all media that implicitly reports on things that you don't like, or alleges conclusions that you don't like "woke"?

reply

It's called THE PARENTAL RIGHTS IN EDUCATION ACT, stop lying about what it's called. And why are you trying to take away parents rights regarding their child's education? Is it because you're a Fascist or because you'll never have a child?

reply

It's both. Skinnyfat, slack-jawed incels don't reproduce and are VERY angry people.

Basically, teachers can't say gay or they're fired. "Don't Say Gay" Law is accurate.

It's not about parental rights since the law opposes the wishes of many parents who are against it.

reply

Keelai, I don't think that's correct. A teacher can say the word "gay" they just can't "teach" it in a classroom situation.

I suppose I'm okay with it, your sexual orientation is really not that important. There's no valid reason why schools should be teaching gender and sexual choices in school.

reply

Semantics.

No reason not to teach sex ed in school.

reply

The bill doesn't ban sex ed. It just bans talking about homosexuality and dudes that want to wear dresses.

If you're down with that, fine, but there is no reason to teach it in school.

I think we spent 2 days on sex ed when I was in school and that was about it. Although, I would argue that it should have been a longer course than this, there were things we didn't learn about but then again, do we need to learn about anal sex, BDSM, crossdressing etc...etc.. in school?

If we open the door for anal then everything else should be taught too. I know this is some kind of virtue signal thing for a lot of people but there is no reason to dive this deep into sexual practices in school.

I would think not...

reply

The Democrat party's goal is to groom children before they molest them. It is quite obvious.

"Florida Republicans want to stop girls from talking about their periods."
https://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2023/03/24/florida-menstruation-law-ron-desantis-anita-diamant

What did you learn in sex ed? It couldn't be much.

reply

I think it's reasonable to propose that schools should be able to tell kids that there's nothing wrong with being gay, should they be gay. It doesn't have to be attached to sexual education, but it is of note that sex ed does correlate with lowered teenage pregnancies.

reply

I think it is reasonable but this is 2023, most people don't care about your sexual orientation that much anyway. I don't think a teacher can get fired for saying "there's nothing wrong with being gay" they just can't make it part of the curriculum. They cant sit down and teach the ins and outs of anal sex. (no pun intended)

reply

You assume everywhere is socially equivalent to San Francisco.

Recall this is from the administration who want bloggers who right about the Governor to "register with the state": https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/florida-bill-require-bloggers-write-governor-legislators-register-stat-rcna73191

They're incredibly authoritarian. I suspect the endgame is Russia-style "gay propaganda" type laws for at least under 18s.

reply

"Don't say gay" bill is homophobia. Teacher will be fired for talking about gay or LGBGT.

Why can't school kids read books written by a gay person like "Heather Has Two Mommies" since you don't believe there's anything wrong with it?

Anti-Menstruation is next. "Don't Say Period" bill.

reply

First of all, "Don't say gay" is a terrible but typical liberal misrepresentation. They count on hyperbole and the hopes that the average low info, dipshit democrat voter won't read what it actually says.

Secondly, NO teacher has any business discussing their sexuality with their students. Period.

reply

"Period."

No, you can't talk about that.

reply

There is actually something that they say merits the death penalty.
This seems to be the direction the anti-woke Republicans want to go in.

reply

"This seems to be the direction the anti-woke Republicans want to go in."

Based on what, exactly???

Ugandan Knuckles will not be pleased. They must be shown da way.
