We'd better cut off funding to some areas of the United States, too.

Thats just a low blow and not right and insulting to this country.

Its not like the KKK is a recognized group. They dont get federal funding. The Churches dont want to see gay marriage passed because they think their book should determine what a marriage is. That is a little bit different than the death penalty or prison for friends and family of homosexuals.


Sure maybe the Morman Church should lose funding because of supporting Prop 8 but that isnt even comparable to the Uganda situation and is insulting to even be compared.

Sure, a very small amount of people in the US may want gays dead.. but you kill a gay person and you are going to jail for the rest of your life, not given a parade.

Sorry if I'm sounding upset but the USA is not an evil country like you make it out to be. I may not be able to get married but I can be open and free and proud and employed and loved and not have to worry about being killed. Big difference and insulting to the gays in Uganda.

And you should be able to be married. I didn't make out the USA to be an evil country (although it's governmental human rights inaction for gays is disturbing), I made out some areas to be evil, and it's absolutely true. There are plenty of racists, gay-bashers, bigots, haters in this country. And, sorry, in some areas of this country, unfortunately, you are unemployable, and you DO have to worry about being beat up or killed. It's rare, but it's already happened, and it's appalling that it happens in this country.

That's not insulting to any gays in Uganda, nor denying the appalling seriousness of the purge they have instituted.

i agree with this. I just think its totally unfair to compare the two countries.
