The Family Life Network in Uganda held a three day conference on March 5-8 inviting noted American homophobes to share their hate. In Uganda being gay is a crime and those convicted of the crime of homosexuality are jailed. Dr. James Nsaba Buturo, the Minister of Ethics and Integrity, seeks to broaden the scope of crimes covered. Executive Director of Family Life Network Stephen Langa has proposed legislation that would force those convicted of the crime of homosexuality into Reparative Therapy.
For those of you unfamiliar with Reparative Therapy it falls into the same category of theories as Flat Earth and Creationism. Its proponents purport to have the ability to change sexual orientation. Most of the organizations that support these views have a veneer of Christianity.
Scott Lively founder of Abiding Truth Ministries participated in the conference. Afterward he was quoted as saying:
“I don’t think under the circumstances homosexuality should be decriminalized in Uganda since it seems to be the only thing stopping the international “gay” juggernaut from turning Uganda into another Brazil.”
Mr. Lively is the author of The Pink Swastika, a book that suggests that the Holocaust was orchestrated by gay people. He shared the spotlight with Caleb Lee Brundidge, of Extreme Prophetic Ministry in Phoenix, Arizona and Don Schmierer, of the “ex-gay” organization, Exodus International.
