    religion is destructive
    Uganda's attempt to pass a bill calling for the death penalty for LGBT people drew international condemnation and eventually failed, but still made the country inhospitable for LGBT people. "Call Me Kuchu" looks at the bill and how it affected Uganda's LGBT community. Some shocking stuff here. The evangelical Christians who go to Africa and push these draconian laws need to face prosecution.
