The country of Uganda is considering a law that will apply the death penalty to people who engage in acts of homosexuality. Many Republican Christians in this country are in favour of these laws.
One part of the new law states that, not only does it apply to all acts of homosexuality in Uganda itself, whether committed by a foreigner or a citizen BUT the law also applies to ALL citizens of Uganda no matter WHERE they reside in the world. The law says they shall be EXTRADITED to Uganda to face a possible death sentence. So if 2 homosexuals have a rump romp here in the USA and one of them is from Uganda and the government of Uganda request we extradite that homosexual to face possible death, should the United States honour that request?
Uganda receives hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from U.S. taxpayers every year. The U.S. should tell Uganda: If you pass the gay death penalty law, you won't get another dime from us.
This is hardly the first human rights violation in that country. Gay sex acts were already illegal and punishable by severe prison sentences. Not to mention they have numerous other human rights violations in Uganda.
If we were going to stop supporting them because of human rights violations, it would have happened a long time ago.

So where is your link to a reliable source that says republican christians are favor it also. Thsi si why not many pay attention to what the gay movement says really.

Well, maybe this time will be different. Who knows. Your argument make sense, but this story is getting attention. I even heard Hillary Clinton on C-SPAN say to some politician from Uganda the other day, "Make sure you vote against that anti-gay law", or something like that.

If a person isn't following the teachings of Christ, then they are not true Christians regardless of what they label themselves. This is like me trying to tell the world that I'm a car; I can call myself that until I'm blue in the face but that will never make me a car (actually, it'll make me delusional but that's another story )

I was going to call KevK's post ridiculous until I saw this. Are you kidding? I hope so.
