Ugandan Newspaper Publishes List of 'Top Homos'
Ugandan newspaper The Red Pepper has published a list of about fifty gays, which includes their names, occupations, physical descriptions, HIV status, and partners. “This is a killer dossier,” the newspaper article reads. “A heat-pounding and sensational masterpiece that largely exposes Uganda’s shameless men and unabashed women that have deliberately exported the western evils to our dear and sacred society. They have been influential in spreading the gay and lesbian vices in schools to kill the morals of our lovely kids!!” The article ends with a promise of a list of “more shocking things you didn’t know about Homos” to be published next week.
The Advocate writes:
Ugandan police have been given greater authority in investigating gays and punishing them in recent months. Ethics and integrity minister James Buturo expressed concern in October 2008 that the prevalence of homosexuality would diminish the population. “Who is going to occupy Uganda 20 years from now if we all become homosexuals? We know that homosexuals don’t produce.”
The Ugandan newspaper published a similar article in 2007.
