Rachel Maddow conducts a killer interview with a member of the Ugandan Parliament who introduced a bill to make it illegal to be homosexual in Uganda. Penalties include life imprisonment or execution. But there are also penalties for those who even mention homosexuality or for those who know homosexuals. The bill seems to have links to fundamentalist Christians in the U.S.
This is frightening stuff. I fear for the people of Uganda, especially those who happen to have been born queer. But I also fear for the rest of the world. This is bigotry on steroids and it scares me.
