I agree with Ted. I would never look to Uganda as an exemplar of morality of justice in the law.
One basic problem comes up. If we assume — as a premise — that homosexuality is not a “choice” made by gay people, but that it is instead simply the way they were wired, then the new Ugandan “law” penalizes folks for being what they had no choice in.
Let’s do that same thing for anyone who doesn’t have brown eyes. If you’re a blue eyed person, you go to jail for the rest of your life.
I’m not sure how my example is different in principle than what the Ugandan law now says about gay people.
