Homosexuality punishment in Uganda

[Bryd0]

Recently, Uganda has introduced new laws regarding homosexuality, where you will be punished and even face the death penalty for being gay. I heard this on a documentary on BBC Three called The Worst Place To Be In and it's really shocking and cruel.



Discuss how homophobic the country has become, although I have a feeling that Uganda had problems with gay people before. It's just really sad

It's not just Uganda.



Under Sharia.... same thing.



And that is but a long brutal history of oppressing gays.



Remember John Galliano of the Dior design house and his anti-Jew rant where he said he loved Hitler?



Well, sorry buddy, but under the Third Reich, those Jewish ladies would have lived longer than you.

Homosexual men were labeled with a pink triangle on their prison clothing. Many German men so identified were subjected to medical 'testing' to determine where the Aryan blood had gone wrong. Homosexual women of the 'Master Race' were treated somewhat differently because they could still be bred to produce Germans. Homosexuals of inferior races were simply killed outright or worked to death in mines or factories.

In the SS, today, we still have about one case of homosexuality a month. In a whole year, about eight to ten cases occur in the entire SS. I have now decided upon the following: in each case, these people will naturally be publicly degraded, expelled, and handed over to the courts. Following completion of the punishment imposed by the court, they will be sent, by my order, to a concentration camp, and they will be shot in the concentration camp, while attempting to escape. I will make that known by order to the unit to which the person so infected belonged. Thereby, I hope finally to have done with persons of this type in the SS, and the increasingly healthy blood which we are cultivating for Germany, will be kept pure.
