It all started flipping through the channels late at night, battling my bouts of insomnia this week, where I happened to stop on a repeat edition of Prime News on HLN. First off, those who turned Headline News into “HLN” need kicked in the ding ding—I hate the cheapening of the news that they’ve done there (the only quality program they have is Robin Meade’s Morning Express show). Anyhoo, the anchor was interviewing a high school student who was assaulted with a metal pipe off school campus for being openly gay. The interview can be viewed here. Hell, one of the attackers came up to him in school to warn him of the assault to come. Schools officials were told of this threat, they were to call all parties to the office, yet it never happened—nothing was done. The student got on the bus to go home, the bus driver told him to sit behind him. The student was assaulted when he got off the bus. The only reason the assault was stopped was when a neighbor pulled a shot gun on the attackers when they had the kid cornered in a garage. The victim is still recovering, weeks after the brutal attack. The only person held accountable for the attack was the bus driver—that person was fired. School administrators, who did NOTHING, got nothing out of it.
The next day, I see coverage on The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC about proposed legislation in Uganda that would call for the imprisonment & death by hanging for merely being homosexual. She was interviewing a fucktard author named Richard Cohen (yes, a lesbian was interviewing a pure DICK!), who has written books full of erroneous information on homosexuals and homosexuality. The heated interview can be seen here. This asshat, who claims to be a former homosexual and claims that he hasn’t had a hand in the legislation processes in Uganda (oh and did I mention he lost his licenses in psychotherapy and is looked down upon by his peers), did a shitload of backtracking & denial when confronted by his own words by Maddow. Even though he claimed he did not work with people in Uganda on this issue, or his work was not cited by those involved in the legislation writing (all of which debunked), Cohen still says his hands are clean. Oh, at the end of the interview, he’s busted for not being fully straight.
Now I know you’re asking why this would draw my attention (because it’s legislation in Uganda). Well, funny you should ask that. It’s been heavily influenced by AMERICAN ultraconservative assholes! Rick Warren, evangelicals, senators, and members of the political mob “The Family,” a group of people & legislators who just lost tax exempt status. These people have been extremely active, traveling to Uganda multiple times (on your dime) for years, pushing the ultraconservative political agenda. What makes me sick even more so is that since the news of the Ugandan legislation broke here in America, these same assholes, including Rick Warren, acted this week like they just heard of this atrocity to human rights, even though they have been heavily involved way before the legislation was written?
Putting it shortly, I’m concerned because this would set back human rights thousands of years, and the possibility of human blood being spilled over being homosexual was instilled with American conservatism.
Well, news broke of this shit, and under pressure, the Ugandans took out the death penalty & life imprisonment condition from the legislation’s draft. There are still very controversial aspects in the new draft, so all is not right, but could you imagine what would happen if this horrendous bill and the horribly sick and corrupt people behind it was not brought up to light??
So, who gets the kick in the ding ding this week? A LOT of people:
- The cowardly group of kids who assaulted the student with a metal pipe,
- Richard Cohen,
- Members of "The Family",
- Ugandans who proposed the anti-gay legislation,
- Rick Warren, and anyone with the Saddleback Church,
- Any American involved (directly or indirectly) in the creation of this horrendous bill,
- Anyone involved in providing Ugandans the false information on homosexuals and homosexuality,
- Anyone who assaults another just because they are different/they are gay, and finally
- Anyone who claims homosexuality is an attack on society.
You clueless morons! Have you no sense of decency? Have you no respect? You claim you do this in the act of God, yet God tells us to respect all whether you agree with them/their lifestyles or not, and teaches us that He alone is the judge, and therefore we’re not to judge others. Your ignorance and complete lack of respect of human rights, whether you agree with homosexuals or not, knocks us as a People way back many years. Shame on you, and shame on you for trying to pull the wool over our eyes…acting like you didn’t know anything about this proposed legislation when you were the ones directly behind it. You deserve much more than a kicking of the ding ding from me, society, & God, but for now you’re getting kicked in the ding ding by me. I only pray you see the light and the error of your ways and the ways you grossly twisted the word of God to push the conservative agenda on innocent peoples.
