Ugandan tabloid claims gay conspiracy
A Ugandan tabloid has called for homosexuals to be hanged, claiming that gays and lesbians are aiming to “recruit” a million children to homosexuality in the country by 2012 in an international conspiracy.
In a story titled, ‘Hang Them; They Are After Our Kids!! Pictures of Uganda’s Top Homos Leak’, The Rolling Stone newspaper claims, “gays are after young kids, who are easily brainwashed towards bisexual orientation [sic]”.
The newspaper then quotes a “top lesbian” at a “gay meeting” as saying, “we are targeting those below 12 years old as they are easy to pursuade [sic] to join gay groups”.
With the story the newspaper published close to 100 photos of Ugandans it says are gay, mirroring tactics used by other Ugandan tabloids in the past.
In the article an unnamed Ugandan church leader calls for homosexuals to be executed to protect Ugandans’ way of life.
“Unless government takes a bold step by hanging dozens of homosexuals, the vice will continue eating up the moral fibre and culture of our great nation.
“Unless a strong action is taken, the country will soon go to the dogs.”
The newspaper also claims that Ugandan gays with “shattered flesh” from a mystery disease are being spirited out of the country by the United States and Britain to avoid scrutiny.
Politicians and church leaders in Uganda have for years claimed there is an international conspiracy by the United Nations and Western governments to convert Ugandans to homosexuality, with the allegation that billions of dollars are being secretly channelled to Ugandan gay groups to pay them to seduce children.
The newspaper repeats the lie.
“They usually gather at this place on Friday for meetings and recruitment. It’s here that they assess the performance of their recruitment drives and initiate new members,” the article said.
“They are promised jobs in gay organisations, education sponsorships abroad, monthly allowances and connections to rich gays residing in United States [sic], Norway, Canada and United Kingdom [sic].
“New members are also provided with gay [pornography], a list of gay websites and telephone numbers of representatives of gay organisations.
“An insider said the organisations receive billions which is now being used to eat into the moral fabric of kids.”
