I was absolutely appalled to find out about the legislation before the Ugandan government. They are proposing to make life imprisonment the minimum penalty for gay sex and to impose the death sentence in certain cases. Full details in the article here:

This is just wrong. As a follower of Jesus I am outraged and deeply saddened by this bigotry and ignorance. And incensed that people are using Christianity as a justification for such sinister and extreme homophobia. (Yes, I know that happens a lot.)
Please join me in praying that common sense prevails and this legislation gets thrown out.
