And can we please stop calling them homos??
Here's what Cheri had to say: I think we should give these homos the freedom they so need.
Unfortunately, like many Ugandans, she fears that all the "homos" are going to try to convert her:They will form pressure groups and try to “convert” us the right sided fellows. They shall form umbrella organisations uniting all gay groups. They already have 1 or 2 bars so chances are that we shall see more gay bars and clubs pop out of the wood work. And then soon after that, they will take over the world and we straighties will become the persecuted one advocating for freedom to do who we want to do. Don’t u see?
She (sort of) redeems herself when she says:I think they are humans, just like u and I. They have a right to live and not to be stoned by Sempa and Buturo. They have every right to demonstrate. They have a right to life and to a particular way of life. Only if it doesn’t physically of mental harm others. And they don’t harm me in anyway, so they are not entirely a waste of human space. They just like one thng and we like the other. Like moslems don’t eat pork and Christians eat it. It’s okay. I think they should be left alone.
But then the redeeming stops when she follows up this comment with:
They should also keep those masks on so we can identify them easily and run for dear life when we see them. And they should be quarantined….or taken to Kampiringisa…or somewhere far away from our children!Obviously, I’m anti homosexuality. But I’m not anti homosexuals.
Big difference. That’s why I can be in the same room with one.
Why quarantine them if they can be in the same room as you? Homosexuality is not contagious! The number of misconceptions about homosexuality here do not fail to amaze me. I wish there could be some kind of rap session where Ugandans could be paired with gay people so they could realize they aren't all that scary. They don't eat children or cause outbreaks of marburg virus, nor will they cause the end of the human race's ability to reproduce.
Take Cheri's advice and try being in the same room with one. It's not that bad.
Chances are, in fact, you've ALREADY been in the same room with one and you just don't know.

In Cheri I find a strange intolerant tolerance. I want to call it hypocrisy, but since I am the world's greatest hypocrite, I won't.
I think it is just a fear of the unknown.
... or at least I hope that is all it is.
My post wasn't meant to ruffle yo feathers.
What is so hard to understand when I say I am anti the act of Homosexuality but I'm not anti homosexuals? It's the same as saying we should not steal, kill or commit any crime, but at the same time believe that people that commit those crimes deserve a day in the sun!!!!
The crime and the criminal are 2 completely different entities!!!! That is the simple truth.
I'm no hypocrite! I don't want my children to hang around homos (and I will call them that) because I don't want it to rub off onto them. Just like I don't want my child to hang around Bobi Wine cuz he'll mos def start smoking the stuff. Is that hypocrisy? Should I have come out and said Homos should be killed and done away with?
So call it redeeming myself, or hypocrisy or whatever u wanna, but Homosexuality is a SIN. CRIME. And EVIL! And it's condemned everywhere, in the law, the Bible and the Q'uran.
I find that the defenders of gay rights, if given enough room end up turning into oppressors free speech of sorts. Absolutely condemning anyone with a view that does not support gay rights. You can already hear the scuttling on the floor.
Why do you breeders realy not understand us? I mean, it is an absolute fact that we are within the country, with you. We listen to your self serving hypocrisy and your denial. Cheri, you dont want me to hang out with your children, do you realy think that it will rub off? I have hung out with you, why has it not rubbed off? Why is it so impossible to believe that we are in the community with you guys? If I told you Cheri that I am a homo as you put it, would you run away from me? After years of knowing me as a human being? Because it has not rubbed off before, but now it will rub off.
Ok. You are no hypocrite. And I am not punching holes in your arguments. I am just a simple, normal gay Ugandan who because of your very homophobia will have to stay hidden, from you Cheri, and to yours. And to your children. They will play with me, and not know that I am gay. They will not become gay because it 'rubs' off. And if one of your children turns out to be gay, I will watch the inevitability of your rejection of him or her. As if you did not give birth to them. Because they are a bit different.
Yes, it is not hypocrisy. But it sure hurts.
hahaha try and convert us. why would they waste their time like that?
