Ex-gays inspire Kill the Gays bill in Uganda, CBC & Prevo are silent

American ex-gay leaders, mega-church pastors and conservative senators are behind the push for Uganda's anti-homosexuality law that will impose life imprisonment for being gay, death by hanging for having gay sex if you're HIV positive, and up to 3 years in prison for not reporting gay people to the government.

U.S. ex-gays organized a conference in Uganda earlier this year that provided the inspiration and supposed "evidence" to justify the Anti-Homosexuality Law, introduced right after the conference. If gays can be cured by prayer, goes the argument, then those who continue to be gay are just not praying hard enough. In Uganda, being gay is already a crime, and now anyone who isn't cured will be sent to prison for life or killed.

Is the true intent of the ex-gay industry to eliminate homosexuals - by any means necessary? Do the sponsors of the ex-gay events in Alaska support this? Why haven't the UAF Campus Bible Club, the Abbott Loop Community Church, and Jerry Prevo spoken out and condemned this death bill?

Rachel Maddow is reporting an on-going series called "Uganda Be Kidding Me" on the U.S. connection to the proposed law. A segment focusing on the ex-gays shows three American groups closely involved with Uganda's effort to eliminate gays: congressmen connected to The Family, evangelical pastors, and the ex-gays.

The ex-gay methods are dangerous and ineffective, and these groups are exporting a deadly homophobia to countries like Uganda. But the larger goal of The Family is Dominion, a world run by evangelical Christian rule. In other words, sharia, and a return to the Dark Ages.

Frank Schaeffer on the Brad Blog shows that killing gays for Jesus is just part of the larger plan. Bruce Wilson on Talk To Action connects Rick Warren's purpose driven "reformation" to Uganda's anti-homosexuality law, and explains the Dominion plan for setting up evangelical Christian governments. Uganda is just the tip of the iceberg.

Box Turtle Bulletin tracks the ex-gay industry and has been following the Uganda bill all year.

For an inside look on African gays, GayUganda is a blog written by a gay Uganda man who is still in the country, writing about the bill and the international response, and questioning whether he and his partner should leave or stay and be martyred. It's heartbreaking.

So who is going to ask Campus Bible Club, Abbott Loop, and Prevo if they support the Kill the Gays bill?
