Culpability of American evangelicals in Uganda’s anti-gay law

1. On Monday, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed into law a bill which
   toughens penalties against gays and defines some homosexual acts as crimes
   punishable by life in prison. The bill also proposed years in prison for
   anyone who counsels or reaches out to gays and lesbians.

   However, we have actually seen the involvement of conservative Christian
   groups in the U.S. influencing anti gay sentiments in Uganda.

   Scott Lively is “an extremist in America,” Williams said, “but when he goes
   to Uganda he gets taken seriously because of what he represents.”

   “He’s an American evangelical, and what an American represents in a place
   like Uganda — it represents power and wealth.”

   “So he goes to Uganda and he can command the president, he can command the
   parliament for five hours. He did a three-day conference, where he told
   everyone about the threat of homosexuality, that they were there to recruit
   their children.”

   “And that’s what really sort of started this whole bill on its, where it is
   now, today, this tragic day.”
