Uganda has decided to take a very strict posture against the LGTBQIA+ community and gay marriage, signing a bill that the could force residents participating in these acts of sodomite marriage to be jailed for 10-20 years, and possibly even receive the death penalty. The bill has drawn ire from around the world.
Almost all of the 389 members of the Ugandan Parliament voted to pass this bill. All that is left is for the President to sign-off on it. The original Bill was motioned by MP Asuman Basalirwa.
The bill will punish anyone for promoting the LGTBQIA+ lifestyle and marriage with a 10-year prison sentence for what they call “aggravated homosexuality,” and in some cases even the death penalty if the courts feel justified to do so. The death sentence was added in basically at last minute last night, according to the Ugandan Monitor. A person who also makes multiple attempts at aggravated homosexuality could face 14 years behind bars.
‘Aggravated homosexuality is defined in the enacted Act as the offence of homosexuality where the victim is below 14 years or above 75, a person living with disability or mental illness, or where a person contracts an illness with no scientific cure, or the offender is a parent, guardian or a serial offender,’ the African outlet explained.
The bill goes even farther to state that under some circumstances that those promoting the LGTBQIA+ lifestyle and philosophy could face 20 years in jail.
Speaker Anita Among stated after the bill was passed,
This House will not shy to restrict any right to the extent of the House that recognizes, protects and safeguards the sovereignty, morals and culture of this country.
State Minister for Works, Musa Ecweru, also added,
Those who believe in homosexuality in their countries let them have it there, but in our country, we will uphold our morals and protect our children.
He said, with many MPs cheering his sentiment
Gulu East MP, Charles Onen, also added,
Honorable Speaker, when I look at you and all honorable ladies in this House there’s no reason for a man to run after another man for sex. There’s nothing so sweet & so good for a man more than a woman.
Last week before the bill was passed, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni referred to sodomites as “deviations,” while also blasting the United States and the West for trying to shove their progressivism on them and the rest of the world, reported by Africa News.
The homosexuals are deviations from normal. Why? Is it by nature or nurture. We need to answer these questions.
We need a medical opinion on that. We shall discuss it thoroughly.
Western countries should stop wasting the time of humanity by trying to impose their practices on other people.
Europeans and other groups marry cousins and near relatives. Here, marrying in one’s clan is taboo. Should we impose sanctions on them for marrying relatives? This is not our job.
Ugandan pastors also celebrated the move as well.
Even though almost everyone in the Ugandan Parliament support the bill save only a several few, activists around the world are not happy to say the least, as reported by The Guardian.
The Human Rights Watch submitted a petition last week urging the MPs to reconsider some of the policies in the bill, asserting that it would contradict their constitution’s right to freedom of expression and speech. “The Anti-Homosexuality Bill contravenes the right to privacy of person, home, and other property, which is guaranteed under Uganda’s Constitution, and international law,” the group wrote.
The United Nations has taken issue with this bill, and in a release published this morning condemned the Parliament’s actions, calling the legislation “draconian.” The UN had this to say in their statement:
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk on Wednesday said the adoption in Uganda of draconian new legislation targeting lesbian, gay and bisexual people was devastating and deeply disturbing, and called on President Yoweri Museveni not to promulgate it into law.
The passing of this discriminatory bill – probably among the worst of its kind in the world – is a deeply troubling development.
If signed into law by the President, it will render lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Uganda criminals simply for existing, for being who they are. It could provide carte blanche for the systematic violation of nearly all of their human rights and serve to incite people against each other.
Said the High Commissioner
The bill, adopted by Uganda’s Parliament on 21 March, proposes the death penalty for the offence of aggravated homosexuality, life imprisonment for the “offence of homosexuality”, up to 14 years for attempted homosexuality, and up to 20 years in jail for promoting homosexuality. It now awaits the President’s signature to become law.
The bill confuses consensual and non-consensual relations – the former should never be criminalized, whereas the latter require evidence-based measures to end sexual violence in all its forms – including against children, no matter the gender or sexual orientation of the perpetrator. This bill will be a massive distraction from taking the necessary action to end sexual violence.
The High Commissioner said
The adopted new legislation also exposes journalists, medical workers and human rights defenders to lengthy prison terms simply for doing their work, he added.
Not only does it conflict with Uganda’s own constitutional provisions stipulating equality and non-discrimination for all – it also runs counter to the country’s international legal obligations on human rights and political commitments on sustainable development, and actively puts people’s rights, health and safety at grave risk.
The adoption of this legislation comes in the wake of a rise in homophobic rhetoric among politicians, religious leaders, and other sections of Ugandan society, that has further aggravated the safety risks for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. According to a civil society group, in February 2023 alone in Uganda, more than 110 LGBTQI+ people reported incidents, including arrests, sexual violence, evictions and public stripping.
Let us be clear: this is not about ‘values’. Promoting violence and discrimination against people for who they are and who they love is wrong and any disingenuous attempts to justify this on the basis of ‘values’ should be called out and condemned.
The late Archbishop Desmond Tutu spoke about how pernicious and ghastly it is that people are penalized and killed simply and solely on the basis of their sexual orientation and called on us all to oppose this injustice. I would like to renew his plea today.
I pay tribute to those brave parliamentarians and civil society actors who spoke out for human rights and non-discrimination – and against the bill.
This law, if signed into force, will have serious negative repercussions on society as a whole, and erode gains made over years.
The High Commissioner said
Unlike the West, Uganda joins a growing number of Eastern lands that are now starting to crackdown on homosexuality and same-sex marriage.
Last year Russia signed a bill that prohibits same-sex marriage and enforces hefty fines on anyone advertises anything to do with LGTBQIA+.
There is no need to impose alien values on us. You destroyed yours – let’s see how it all ends, but it’s definitely sad, because it’s a Sodom – there’s no other way to say it – and the United States of America has become the center of this Sodom in the world. Let them live there, but don’t bother us.
Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, said
Russian President Vladimir Putin also referenced the United States’ and West’s decaying culture in a speech last month.
See what they do with their own peoples: destruction family, cultural and national identity, perversion, bullying of children, up to pedophilia, are declared the norm, the norm of their life, and clergy, priests are forced [to] bless gay marriage. God be with them, let them want, then they do. What do you want to say here? Adults have the right to live as they want, we have treated this in Russia and will always treat this like this: no one invades privacy, and we are not going to do this.
But I want to tell them: but look, excuse me, scriptures, the main books of all other world religions. Everything is said there, including the fact that the family – this is a union of man and woman, but these sacred texts are now in doubt. How it became known, the Anglican church, for example, plans – plans, though, so far only – to consider the idea gender-neutral god. What can you say? God forgive me, “[they] do not know what they are doing.”

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
Proverbs 25:25
Eastern nations have grown sick and tired of the United States’ and West’s abominations and imperial dictates, and how the West continues to preach to the world that they need to be perverts like them – as their nations are set to imminently collapse.
These nations like Uganda, Russia, Indonesia, and more to come (no doubt) are looking to cut ties with the West’s perversions before it fully engrains in their nations. They all have it as well, but not even remotely close to the West. These nations are repenting themselves of the wickedness they have committed and are looking to stop this plague before it becomes incurable.
[6] O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. [7] At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; [8] If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. [9] And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; [10] If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. Jeremiah 18:6-10
Therefore, based on what the scriptures say, it is evident that the Lord has totally removed himself from the West, and his blessings are going Eastward. The Lord will not tolerate this stuff forever, and the United States and the West are headed for some immense judgment and destruction, much sooner than the arrogant and blinded fools of this country think.
The East bans these perversions, the West wants more of it.

[4] The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. [5] Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. Proverbs 16:4-5
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Proverbs 14:34
If such action was found in the Bible, it was the death penalty then. 20 years of jail time is just a little fraction of the punishment. I’m glad Japan isn’t very open to such same-sex relationship, especially in the parliament. But I’m worried we’re being sucked in because of some woke adds I have been seeing on the train lately. Not good…
Seems like the leaders of the African countries are displaying more righteousness these days than the rest of the world. The correct biblical action is to rid the sodomites from the land, along with cutting down the groves and destroying the “high” places. Good for them. The UN and their ilk want to see countries deep into serious sin, and I hope these African nations can hold their own against the biggest control freaks and busybodies in the world.
I need to study more on the machinations of the Jesuit in Uganda historically. There is something ‘off’ about this, remembering the horrors of Idi Amin & the remaking of Uganda in communist-socialist UN one-worlder terms. A bit like the Congo, South Africa, now Nigeria & Ghana, Liberia, that whole area of the ‘thumb’ of Africa w/ French communist/Catholic brutalities & ‘activism’ merging with Hamite pagan occult ‘oathing’s & such brutal abominations. Kenya, too, now under attack.
–
I think that butcher & his ‘revolutionaries’ called themselves something ‘of God’….like crusaders & Romish cronies, gangsters, filthy strongmen etc always do. What have they built there?
–
I’m thinking of Corrie ten Boom, holocaust survivor and ‘The Hiding Place’, Psalm 17, 27, 64:2, 143 KJB. She was so horrified at the atrocities committed against the white believers in Uganda by Idi Amin, just days after she had been there & encouraged the terrified people with her testimony of God’s faithfulness to her in the Netherlands & deathcamps of Germany, that she lost her faith in pre-trib teaching & thought we were in the tribulation already. She was deceived by the Augustinian evolutionary doctrine & the impure feminine occult thing that’s always part and parcel of idolatrous corruptions & the occult, the spirit of Jezebel and error of Eve that can only too easily lend itself to wicked feminism ending in gross Romans 1 abandonment of the natural use & lesbianism, in bitterness following the error of the men.
–
At the same time, the Khmer Rouge was working its bloody atrocities in Cambodia. 70’s. It was so beyond the ken of most Americans secure in the blessings of God stemming from the King James Bible, and out of the Asian arena & conflict, so they thought. Horrific atrocities & things were happening. And we didn’t understand the connection with what was happening with the riots, the universities, the dumbing down & demoralization, & so forth here.
–
I’m a child coming of age in the ’70’s, & as I learned more of these things outside the humanist academic system & brainwashing, saved in the late ’90’s and my mid-thirties by the grace of God & Chick tracts with scraps of scripture & a pure Christianity hinted at which I didn’t see in the false churches & yearned for, even in my wickedness… The seeds of the Gospel planted in me by old biblical hymns in a dead Lutheran church in my early years, & later, in my teens, the Gospel & preaching of a Pentacostal mess, Foursquare Gospel, that nonetheless was still using the King James Bible & preserving the pulpit to men preaching God’s order in family (despite the impure feminist Jezebel founder of that mess!).
–
Anyways, I didn’t understand back when the things wrong there with ten Boom, & the connection of the per-versions: a woman touring & teaching in the churches, the ecumenism of the idolatrous humanist effeminate neo-orthodox with their Billy Graham/ Cardinals Spellman & Dolan ….and connection to Rome in our churches, as well as in our covert agencies & military, scientific, educational institutions etc … Or God’s judgment in that children become the oppressors of a nation, & women rule over them! (Study the history of secular Laodicea! where the church of Laodicea was, & their history & connection with MYSTERY, & with the perverse Egyptian corruptions of the Ptolemies, and Greco-Assyrian thing as Antiochus Epiphanes…Epiphanes meaning: the visible god….and read Daniel again…wow)
–
I didn’t learn about David ben Lew until much later…and then things just fell into place & made sense, including my settling & continuing in the King James rather than the powerless & corrupt antichrist perversions. It taking time to see the cultivation & part played by feminism, as promoted in the Jesuit craft: infiltration & transformation of our institutions…and with Chiniquy’s ‘The Priest, the Woman, and the Confessional’ shedding light both on that Jezebel spirit & how it can be cultivated in the darkness & deceptiveness of a woman’s heart apart from the cleansing, quickening, enlightening power of the preserved word of God received.
–
We do, indeed need our covering, because of the angels…the fallen ones…and that covering is NOT some sort of doily or piece of cloth. That practice and tradition a stepping stone towards rank idolatry, & women out of order even in their own homes, communities and churches: think Margaret (excuse me, Catherine…no sinless perfection here obviously) of Sienna, or the Women’s Temperance nagging league taking things into their own hands, & Prohibition.
–
Rome playing & making worse both ‘sides’ with her Jesuits, creating confusion, terror, distractions. Vatican Assassins & Peter Ruckman’s history on these things (even where we would differ from Eric Jon Phelps doctrinally…his history is sound & sheds much light on these things that apparently ‘just happen’ ‘randomly’) with the scriptures is so helpful. We don’t believe in ‘random’.
–
Don’t forget that the Pope is now making noises about Rome becoming more ‘Eastern’ rather than ‘Western’ in his statements on potentially revoking their tradition on ascetic monasticism (which is EASTERN & Babylonian), & the forbidding of marriage & meats. 1 Tim 4 KJB.
–
He said it wasn’t really ‘biblical’, but more based in ‘Western philosophy’, & that Rome just sort of ‘absorbed’ it…….talk about Jesuits making people believe that white is black and black is white, revising history & doctrine: we live in backwards land & clown world. The perilous times of 2 Timothy 3&4 KJB.
–
Did you hear the horrific & abominable things General Michael Flynn & that whole ‘prayer group’ thing was saying & how antichrist Jesuit that was? (supposedly inspired by the ‘persecution’ of the larger-than-life, white-hat godman hero, Trump) They were spouting antichrist stuff that woman prophet Elizabeth Clare Prophet did channeling ‘the angel Michael’…..and antichrist Jesuit doctrine.
–
We must beware being captivated by either ‘side’ of error mixed with truth, which is what the Jesuits & the spirit behind them specializes in. Colossians 2 and Galatians KJB. Both are of the world & antichrist.
–
Uganda is not a Christian nation, nor doing this in biblical righteousness of Christ….but part of the cultivated & crafted deception & great delusion. We must see the whole of it, and not just part.
Look into the history…and also the Romish corporatist & mystery Fed monopolization, centralization and socialism ‘left’ and ‘right’ both.
–
The horrible cloak of both the Iron and the Bamboo ‘Curtains’ behind which anything biblically Christian, or even open to it, was methodically & brutally corrupted, or ‘cleansed’ from those places….like that of the steering & organizing confessional of MYSTERY & the Inquisition, or a false reconstruction of the veil that was torn (the kabalist & craft Jewish part in both satanic Marxism ‘left’, and the Jesuit taught son of a raped Jewish servant & occultist witch: Hitler, on the ‘right’.
–
It was one or the other of those false doctrines ALWAYS in the ‘white supremacy/empire/ Japhethite thing & expansion…..AND the false racism, LGBTQ+ ‘brown’ and ‘alternative’ to it that is just as tyrannical and false and its mirror image twin. Our dwelling in the tents of Shem is only righteous if done in Christ according to the word. There is a negative connotation there, too. Alexandria and the kabalist Hellenized & Romanized craft Jew.
–
2 Peter 2 & 3…’science falsely so-called’, and the filthy dreamers turning the grace of our Lord into lasciviousness of Jude…..uniting and working in unison. The subservient & whore will go down first, but not until after uniting the world & receiving that man of sin as written….which we see coming about right now.
–
This mirror-image thing is a well-known occult thing & methodology used by the builders who’ve rejected the chief cornerstone, the crafting idolatrous humanists of the antichrist spirit, those Jesuits & the spirit behind them and everything false & bloody, twisted & perverse, as well as the ‘fruit’ of merging the two ‘opposites’ & their supposed ‘evolution’ and ‘righteousness’ other than that in which Christ is all & in all, our salvation & righteousness. ..none of us.
–
From the beginning, the RV committee of the revision of God’s completed & preserved word was FULL of people holding with this sort of occult garbage……and it only got worse as time wore on & the perversions multiplied, always of the Alexandrian stream & antichrist, evolutionary, & idolatrously humanist in doctrine & practice.
–
Like Dave Hunt who would not stand on the King James Bible & died in dementia & chastening of the Lord; Corrie ten Boom suffered a stroke & lay in paralysis & an apparently brain dead state for YEARS. Meanwhile a bunch of Lausanne types high-jacked her testimony & legacy, even as she lay there like old Nabal, in the bad old Romish cunning craftiness & necromancy tradition. God is not mocked.
–
Study Bible & history in its light to avoid being deceived, or used in the lifting up and lauding of evil & corruption masquerading as something ‘more Christian’. Peter Ruckman was right about the two natures of man, & that old man that lingers & must be continually put down…choosing day by day, and moment by moment, to walk in the Spirit, the new man, and not falling back to the flesh, the old man who’s with us until we lay this corruptible flesh down. We should not think more highly of ourselves than we ought. Corinthians and the rest of the epistles warning faithfully.
That guy in the Jesuit traditionally black ‘white/tan’ hat is a clue. Look it up.
I think there’s some deceit in this… I remember when in America everyone was happy of roe v wade being overturned, but being pro-life isn’t the standard , It looks good on the surface but so does bait to a fish. I’m guessing the same thing here, yes its good for these countries to take a stand but being straight and not homosexual is not the standard. I think it adds more fuel to “ignite the right”
Probably.
I agree with you. Why now and not before? Is the question. I was thinking the same thing.
I believe that GOD will bless his faithful remnant that still live in the western world. Even though the west is corrupt and finished for, there is still hope for the remnant. I know that he is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
Ponder God for a moment:
In heaven, can not all the things happening on the earth be seen all the time?
can anyone sympathize with God the horrible things mankind does behind close doors, underground, in space, in the depths of the waters below.
imagine you had eyes like he did to see all the kinds of abominations all day and night that mankind does, then ask yourself if God should spare that nation.
Then read Judges 5 , Jeremiah 7 & Ezekiel 8
God also searches the hearts of mankind and knows who can and cannot be saved, therefore his judgements are truly in righteousness and his mercy spent when his wrath is kindled against nations or a peoples, rest assured grace and mercy were given but they would not obey.
People who pitty the wicked have never read the book of Job and never heard the finished work that Jesus Christ did for all on the cross.
