If you have HBO or HBOGo, you need to watch this week's "VICE".

The first segment is about the anti-gay agenda in Uganda. It is frightening. It specifically includes the ties to American's exporting their religious bigotry.

Here is a sneak peek:

Did you see the reporter almost lose it?! She was shaking! I felt so bad for her and the lesbian telling her story was so damn scary. Of course, the senator mentioned, Inhofe, is from Oklahoma, where I live. My husband and I just looked at each other and rolled our eyes. The next segment was so very sad and frightening too. I wonder why I still watch that damn show, 'cuz it really, really makes me hate people! Know what I mean?

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]As for Inhofe, I think it is pretty obvious that he was one of the friends in Washington they were talking about. I bet it also includes Louis Gohmer and other representatives from my state of Texas too

What gets me is that they are able to tell outright lies and no one thinks to question it. They are actually telling the girls there that if they are lesbians they won't be able to get pregnant...and they believe them. Hate really does cloud people's judgement.

The part where they talked about raping and KILLING people as if that was okay horrified me.[/font]
