Ugandan MP Would Kill His Gay Son


Ugandan MP Would Kill His Gay Son
By Michelle Garcia
OTTO ODONGA X390 (FAIR USE) | ADVOCATE.COM

A member of Uganda's parliament said at a Kampala forum on human rights and sexual orientation that he would kill his son if he found out he was gay.

MP Otto Odonga (pictured) was immediately denounced by the forum's keynote speaker, the chair of Kenya's Human Rights Commission, Makau Mutua, according to Xtra, a gay Canadian publication. Mutua said he was "baffled" by Odonga's homophobia. "Would you apply to be a hangman if the person to be hanged were your son?" he asked Odonga. When the MP nodded yes, Mutua replied, "There is something deeply wrong with you."

Another Ugandan MP, Christopher Kibanzanga, shared his outrage regarding bisexuals. "Who are bisexuals?" he asked. "What do they do? Has it just been imported into Africa?"

Rubaramira Ruranga, the director of a local HIV/AIDS organization, assured the attendees that anal sex was not something solely for gays, and that homosexuality and bisexuality were not un-African.

They can't openly kill Queers in America "THIS WEEK" because we have that "fierce advocate" on our side ....... check back next week as the situation may change much to the glee on both sides of the isle.......

6. 'Honor killings' for reasons like this are unfortunately common in some countries
There's unfortunately some countries where radical religious people commonly murder their own kids for doing something to 'dishonor' the family, such as being the victim of a rape, unfortunately I'm sure being gay to those nuts falls into the same category.

I've already read once about one place where honor killings were common, where three guys raped a person's daughter, and the father refused to kill her like most in his country would. Why was it news? Because if he didn't kill his daughter for the 'dishonor' of being raped the 3 rapists could be charged with the crime of rape, so the rapist's families were trying to pressure the victim's father to kill his own daughter so their family members wouldn't have to face justice.

It's disgusting, the whole culture that causes honor killings for lots of 'dishonorable' things.

8. This is the influence of the U.S Christian extreme right
peddeling their extreme toxic beliefs in Uganda. Rachel Maddow covered this last month I think.
