measure anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in its first draft it did provide for the death penalty for those who use the act of sodomy to infect others with HIV\/Aids, and those who sodomise children.\u00a0 What penalty would Strudwick want to see for such paragons of &#8216;gay virtue&#8217;?\u00a0 Nothing?\u00a0 An award of &#8216;Infectious Personality of the Year&#8217;

plans to ban 38 different organisations that are currently promoting homosexuality if the Bill becomes law.\u00a0 It is the Bill&#8217;s clamp-down on their proselytisation which most annoys Western homosexuals, and the loss of an exotic playground where adolescent boys can be enticed with a couple of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>The Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, told The Associated Press on Monday 12th November that the bill will become law this year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4855\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4855\" style=\"width: 239px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/KadagaR.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4855\" title=\"KadagaR\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/KadagaR-239x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/KadagaR-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/KadagaR-600x753.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/KadagaR-816x1024.jpg 816w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/KadagaR.jpg 1676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4855\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Hon Rebecca Kadaga, Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ugandans &#8220;are demanding it,&#8221;
