(Newser) – After calling for the hanging of 100 “top gays and lesbians” in Uganda—which spurred attacks on gays—a tabloid in the country has published another list, this time of 10 homosexuals, their addresses, and alleged details about their anatomy, CNN reports. The paper's 22-year-old editor says he discourages attacks, but wants to fight gays seeking "converts in schools." Meanwhile, a bill calling for the death penalty for homosexuality continues to work through Uganda's legislature.

How long until someone discovers a link between this group and the social conservatives in the U.S.A?

Who in HELL voted this as Brilliant? Probably some sick conservative motherf*cker. I find it odd that people compare Obama to Hitler when this is clearly much more like Hitler than any other leader in the world. (And no, the fact that Museveni started out as a Ugandan Liberal does not link him to Obama, since Obama is an American Liberal, two different things) Will we do anything about it if they start legally killing off homosexuals? I don't see why not. It's a Christian government committing genocide, much like Hitler, and we intervened there. Oh, but they seemed to have picked a better scapegoat this time. One the the US is still debating over. This is sick and wrong. If this law passes, we should do something, we should be doing something now, but of course DADT is still on the table so...
