Gloria Allred goes to Bat for Homosexuals

You would think that with the repeal of don't ask don't tell, the gradual acceptance of gay marriage from state to state, and the Obama administration finally supporting gay marriage it would be hard for a few slurs from alleged homophobe and Braves coach to get any traction in the media. But famed attorney Gloria Allred had to showed the country that a a base ball bat in the wrong hands could be a weapon of intolerance. Even though Roger McDowell's alleged behavior has been widely repudiated since Allred's press conference, and the coach will likely face a substantial fine and perhaps a suspension , the best thing to come out of the whole event was the 26 seconds of maple to palm penetration that is now circulating You tube.

Ugandan Gay Murder bill contested but still might be passed

The Kill the gays bill or Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill that has been floating in the ether for nearly two years in the Country of Uganda is currently being brought up for a vote yesterday but thanks to opposition support voting has been postponed, however the people who drafted the bill are doing everything in their power to have a vote on on Friday 13th to ensure that in Uganda killing "fags" is okay. According the proposed law, those who are found harboring homosexuals or keeping their orientation a secret from the Ugandan authorities could find themselves facing life imprisonment and any groups, companies, or media outlets that supports LGBT rights are also targeted by this bill.

In another sad twist, the American involvement in this possible Ugandan genocide has not been completely on the side of the opposition. Opportunistic evangelicals who make up the family and have the ear of many conservative members of the white house have been supporting the countries dictator. The Family has been supporting MP David Bahati for years and his kill the gays legislation covertly since it was introduced in 2009. The group has been able to stay out of the spot light in the states for years, considered by the uninitiated or politically ignorant to be nothing more than a prayer group.

However there is active opposition in the west in the form of petitions to stop the progress of the bill . But for the groups and individuals opposing the legislation on the ground in Uganda the price could take the form of severe beatings and extended incarceration. To Ugandan supporters of the bill, and in many cases their western counter parts, homosexuality is a scheme of active recruitment, a scheme which spent $15 million dollars in 2010 to recruit children into being gay, according to David Bahati himself as he spoke to Rachel Maddow. These people see themselves as crusaders against the gay agenda and many think that they were anointed to that purpose in the United States.
