... And we must make it clear to every man, woman and child around the world who lives under the dark cloud of tyranny that America will speak out on behalf of their human rights, and tend to the light of freedom, and justice, and opportunity, and respect for the dignity of all peoples. That is who we are. That is the moral source of America's authority. ...

So when is Obama going to speak out on behalf LGBT Ugandans?

Sponsored by the same quasi-religious creeps that brought us the Stupak amendment in the US, Uganda is considering a law that would change homosexuality from a lifetime imprisonment offense to one that carries the threat of execution for HIV-positive men and repeat gay offenders. Other features of the law include imprisonment for those who would cover for gays, including health workers, while the government also wants to enact mandatory testing and disclosure of HIV status.
