==Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009==

In 2009, Member of Parliament David Bahati submitted a bill before the Parliament of Uganda which would introduce the death penalty for homosexuals with previous convictions, have [[HIV]], and homosexuals who commit acts of pedophilia. In addition, it would impose imprisonment or fines on anyone who did not report an offender within 24 hours. This bill would have done a lot to prevent the spread of [[AIDS]] in a continent already ravaged by the disease, and is punishment sanctioned by God in the Bible for [[homosexuality]]. In true [[liberal]] fashion, members promoting the [[gay agenda]] worldwide, including President [[Obama]], pressured the Ugandan parliament to drop the legislation, interfering with the rights of a democratic government to make laws based on the will of the people, and the rights of people to practice their religion. A Ugandan Parliament Committee is currently discussing the bill.<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110509/ap_on_re_af/af_uganda_gays</ref>
