Now, I'm sure we can say in Uganda the stone has been thrown.
How far will the ripples go?
This video shows how far they MIGHT go.
Kenya is on fire already. Has anyone read this?
My hair stands on end when I read this.
Some Ugandans argue that foreigners have no right to be very critical of that bill, since Uganda is a sovereign country and has the right to make it's own laws.
But what if these (proposed laws) violate every human right?
Of course, some Ugandans (and not- Ugandans for that matter) argue that gays HAVE no human rights.
But, didn't they say that in the Dark Ages about witches? And didn't they say that about Jews as well? (ring a bell, anyone?) And didn't they say that about black people?
(Read Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe.)
Haven't we SEEN yet how dangerous it is to label a minority as 'unwanted' and thus deprive them of their basic human rights?
History shows too many examples of when this was done, and the agony, the anguish, the suffering and the death it has spread.
You'd think we would have learned by now.
Well, apparently not.
But to all people with a sane mind, I would say: 'Please say "No" to every violation of every human right everywhere, at all times.'
If we do NOT stand up for human rights, who will?
And if not NOW, then when?
Enough is enough.
And isn't it enough already?
I say it is more than enough.
