GOP congressman traveled to Uganda to support anti-LGBTQ death penalty law

[Crepitus]

In a little-noticed October speech in Uganda, Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., urged that nation to stand behind its new Anti-Homosexuality Act, which includes the death penalty.

Walberg’s remarks came at Uganda’s National Prayer Breakfast. His trip to attend the event was paid for by the secretive U.S. group behind the National Prayer Breakfast, congressional filings show.

How long until they start pushing that here?

They are already whipping the religious freaks into a frenzy and they've kept the bigots there full time for decades. When will one of these haters propose that bill?

I cant find the link but apparently the Ugandan courts are rowing back from this law.
The law itself was backed by US evangelist loons.

Either is the abortion ban.

 

[Rigby5]

Why?

The constitution bases all legal authority on the defense of inherent individual rights.
When no one is harmed, then government cannot be authorized to act.

The 14th amendment is supposed to prevent states from this sort of abuse of individual rights.

Which section. Laws making LGBTQ criminal were in place in multiple states historically. various SCOTUS decision trees invalidated many of these but those are the same cases underlying Roe.

Yes

YOu have far too much faith.
