"The right-wing women's group Concerned Women for America (CWFA) expressed outrage on Sunday that President Barack Obama condemned a Ugandan anti-LGBT bill that would punish homosexual behavior with lifetime imprisonment.
According to the Joe My God blog, CWFA spokesperson Janice Shaw Crouse said that the president's "arrogance is breathtaking" for saying that Ugandan government should stop imprisoning and torturing men it suspects of being gay.
On Sunday, Obama released an official White House statement condemning Uganda's proposed law outlawing same sex marriages and imposing lifetime prison sentences for repeated homosexual acts."

(146,257 posts)Up to 2003, being gay was illegal in many states and two men were arrested in Houston for engaging in gay sex in 1998. Luckily the SCOTUS ruled that these laws were illegal. Ever since this ruling the GOP wants to reinstate these laws and make being a homosexual illegal again. This is or used to be part of the Texas GOP party platform.
Since these bigots can not enforce their will in the US, they have to go to Russia and Uganda to preach their hate
