Society's Child
The bill, introduced earlier this month, proposes tough new penalties for same-sex relations in a country where homosexuality is already illegal, sparking criticism from human rights groups.
In a state of the nation address before lawmakers, Museveni, who has ruled Uganda since 1986, called gay people deviants as MPs urged him to comment on the new legislation.
"The homosexuals are deviations from normal. Why? Is it by nature or nurture? We need to answer these questions," the 78-year-old said.
"We need a medical opinion on that. We shall discuss it thoroughly."
Under the proposed law, anyone who engages in same-sex activity or who identifies as LGBTQ could face up to 10 years' imprisonment.
The bill comes as conspiracy theories accusing shadowy international forces of promoting homosexuality gain traction on social media in Uganda.
"Western countries should stop wasting the time of humanity by trying to impose their practices on other people," Museveni said in an address boycotted by all but one opposition legislator.
"Europeans and other groups marry cousins and near relatives. Here, marrying in one's clan is taboo. Should we impose sanctions on them for marrying relatives? This is not our job," he added.
The bill is due to be discussed next week, with a vote possible as early as Tuesday.
Uganda is notorious for intolerance of homosexuality -- which is criminalised under colonial-era laws -- and strict Christian views on sexuality in general.
But since independence from Britain in 1962 there has never been a conviction for consensual same-sex activity.
In 2014 Ugandan lawmakers passed a bill that called for life in prison for people caught having gay sex.
A court later struck down the law on a technicality, but it had already sparked international condemnation, some Western nations freezing or redirecting millions of dollars of government aid in response.
Opposition politicians boycotted Thursday's speech to protest human rights violations, particularly the illegal detention and forced disappearance of their supporters.
Uganda has seen a series of crackdowns on people opposed to Museveni's rule.
Journalists have been attacked, lawyers jailed, election monitors prosecuted, the internet shut down and opposition leaders muzzled.

AIDS, overpopulation, environmental destruction, drought, hunger, and poverty. See it here: [Link] Excerpt: "In Uganda alone, 8 million people lack access to clean, safe drinking water. Contaminated water and poor sanitation have strong links to the transmission of life-threatening illnesses like cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis A, and typhoid. These waterborne diseases kill more than 3 million people every year. 43% of those deaths are children under five years old. In Uganda, over 25% of students will drop out of school because of water-related illnesses. When girls stop pursuing their education, they are often married too young."
Look at the $150,000 limousine with flags on the bumpers that President Museveni drives around in. Here is his Presidential Palace, where he has lived for 37 years: [Link] --- Readers should really follow those links - they will astound you, and prove once and for all the corruption, psychopathy and vicious evil that is politics, the world over.
See these stories for what they are - more evidence of human vice and cruelty, the triumph of psychopathy and the crushing of the human spirit by parasites of every race and creed. DO WHAT YOU CAN to counteract it - we cannot change the world, but we can change it around us where we live. The need is great. Let us begin.
"The homosexuals are deviations from normal. Why?I don't agree with laws that create divisions in society. But the fact of the matter is, he does state the obvious. This whole alphabet BS has created a whole bunch of deviants.
For someone to argue with you till they are blue in the face (darker than their hair), that they are female (while still slinging a dick), is deviant misguided irrational behavour.
There are reasons why the world is going to hell in a hand basket, to many grown (supposedly wiser) men and women leaders are listening to children. If we did this from creation, we wouldn't be here today discussing this BS being shoved down our throats on a daily bases. We'd would have ceased to exist a long time ago.
The bible is clear on this, from what I have read. Repeated over an over again to the Hebrews. Don't intermingle with the gentiles, the people will be corrupted. This has happened time and time again and they still haven't learned.
When you bring something corrupted into your house, it is then corrupted.
Let the deviants be, they are on their own journey, but for Christ sake, stop enacting special laws for the deviants, it gives them say in something they have no say in, specifically how the rest of us are to act around them.
Straight up reality is that homosexuals can't reproduce, and are therefore a dead end as far as the species continuing goes.That is not quite correct.
They can, and often did when they were forced into "straight" marriages by conventions of society, a century or more ago. But they usually don't want to.
Though I still think they are deviant and absurdities, and should never be encouraged or even privileged by law.
... and leave the kids alone!Now that is a different matter.
I have zero sympathy for child rapists.
LGBT= metal indifference, they represent a tiny fraction of the global community, yet they want to Rule the World.
The conclusions were, that homosexual behavior in animals (experiments could not be conducted on human beings,) arises from two factors. First is a genetic sensitivity to the hormonal environment in utero , i.e., an enhanced genetic sensitivity of the fetus to the hormonal environment in the womb, or, in the mother's system, during pregnancy. Second , is the fact that the fetus develops different characteristics at different periods during gestation. Exclusively in the FIRST trimester in humans, the physical sexual morphology is determined. Initially, in the early fetus, BOTH sets of immature sexual organs are present, but under the influence of hormones in the mother's system, one set will atrophy and the other will develop in the first trimester, determining the future physical sex of the baby.
Only in the THIRD trimester, as the brain develops, does the brain sexual orientation become fixed. If the required genetic sensitivity is present, and the hormonal environment changes radically from the first trimester to the third, what happens is that the brain becomes hard wired incongruously with the already determined physical characteristics , and homosexuality ensues. IT IS NOT A CHOICE.
As noted, experimentation on human embryos is not ethically possible, but every other species experimented upon exhibits these results. It was found that there were FOUR different effects, depending on genetic sensitivity and whether estrogen or testosterone were injected into the fetal brain, and which hemisphere of the brain, left or right, one or the other of the two sex hormones was injected into. The four effects were: Masculinizing, De-masculinizing, Feminizing, and De-feminizing.
The 1986 paper also discussed physical abnormalities. There are many babies born where the doctors are unable to determine what sex it is. There is a vast range of physical deformations that occur, including both sets of sexual organs being present. Usually in such cases, the doctors make their best guess and perform a surgery to reconstruct one set of sexual organs or the other. Dr. Money was emphatically against this, since statistically, half of the time the doctors make the right guess, and half of the time they make the wrong guess, and the unfortunate child reaches puberty only to find that its brain sexual orientation is opposite to the sex that was surgically assigned to it at birth. Dr. Money sensibly advocated non-interference at birth, and to wait until puberty, when the individual begins to develop sexual urges, and only at that time to perform gender re-assignment surgery.
HOWEVER, the sexual mutilation by surgery, and hormone treatments, of confused, pre-pubescent small children, whose impressionable and compliant minds have been perverted with the adult sexual fantasies and frustrations of their teachers in school, is a heinous crime, in my opinion, no less vicious than murder, as it destroys the lives of the victims, in most cases condemning them to a lifetime of sexual confusion, sexual frustration, and bitter regret.
The entire "sexual revolution," ever since the moderating effects of religious belief have been abandoned for political reasons, has become a charade, a corruption, a vicious industry of vice and wicked mutilation of innocent children. IMHO, the death penalty would not be misapplied to those people who emotionally corrupt or mutilate small children to gratify their own sexual and mental frustrations.
ALL PLEASE NOTE: I have taken the trouble to write this long explanation to place this discussion on the proper scientific foundation. I hope all commenters will read it carefully, and adjust their prejudices and bigotries accordingly.
Thank you all - L.G.
The fact is that homosexual behavior exists, and has always existed, in almost every animal species down through the millennia. Cows, dogs, sheep, goats, mice, monkeys, birds,
Thats bs. Animals dont do homo sexual acts. Bulls and sheep males do dominate riding no penetration. Fag propaganda.
Monkeys? Bo bos? They're deviants too.
Net zero must be brought forward by a decade to stop 'climate time bomb', says UN
Net zero targets must be brought forward by a decade to stop the "climate time bomb", the UN has said at the launch of a major new climate change report. Rising emissions in recent years mean cuts...You probably believe the c02 nonsense to then by the experts?
... what happens is that the brain becomes hard wired incongruously with the already determined physical characteristics , and homosexuality ensues. IT IS NOT A CHOICE.I basically knew that. And I don't condemn them for being homosexuals.
I only fiercely disagree with a public display, glorification and equalisation with natural sexuality. Especially not at the cost all the one's who disagree.
The fact is that homosexual behavior exists, and has always existed, in almost every animal species down through the millennia. Cows, dogs, sheep, goats, mice, monkeys, birds, and humans - all have traditionally exhibited homosexual behavior.At least these species exhibited behaviour that was interpreted as "homosexuality". I had often watched an all-females cow herd of our local cooperative, with one cow occasionally "jumping at the back" of another cow, somewhat similiar to the act. This used to happen several times a day between several individuals, and I would not interpret that as "homosexual behavior". Just saying.
As another caveat - within many species, only a few selected males procreate. I think humans fell into that category at some point in time.
Thus the emergence of religion with the institution of marriage (and suppression of this selective process) seems to me an important factor in the emergence of civilisation.
The same is seen in humans: Many homosexuals get married and procreate, but later revert to their innate inclinations. So, societal discrimination and taboos have the contrary effect, of perpetuating the genes which give rise to one side of the homosexual recipe, the other side being hormonal disturbances in utero. Those disturbances may be caused by stress or environmental contamination, e.g. by organic chemicals arising in the environment during the third trimester, which mimic estrogen or testosterone in the endocrine system.
There are 70,000+ chemicals that have been invented in the lab since WWII which have never been tested for their effects on the human brain and body. Very few in fact are tested at all. We live in a chemical soup, in household cleaners, fabrics, pesticides, weed killers, paints, plastics, detergents, and thousands more, so it is highly likely that any increase in the incidence of sexual dysphoria that is happening is due to contaminants in our environment. It is well documented that sperm counts in male semen has decreased dramatically, while homosexuality seems to have increased - it is hard to determine if such an increase is real, or only the result of societal acceptance.
It is sad to reflect that our pursuit of comfort and convenience, and the corporate pursuit of profit, may actually and in truth be killing us off as a species.
So, societal discrimination and taboos have the contrary effect, of perpetuating the genes which give rise to one side of the homosexual recipe, ...Just as an neutral statement, I have never seen any factual/scientific proof of that. I mean, that homosexuality is hereditable.
And judged by the sorrow state what is called "science" nowadays, I don't expect a honest and truthful answer ...
Have you ever seen the Eiffel Tower? I have not. How do we know it exists? Perhaps 80 million tourists have all conspired to deceive you and me? I don't think they would consider us important enough to be worth the effort. So I would believe them. And I would believe the researchers whose findings and experimental results were collected together in the article I quoted.
As for the hereditability, research has been done into identical twins, and the influence of genetics on behavior is profound. But that is a whole other topic.
I will not try to discredit your post, I'm sure it summarises the past decade's of scientific involvement and understanding adequately and leaves one's feelings on the matter exposed.
For all said and done, why has there been an explosion of sexual misdirection within the last few decades, surely closets and the coming out of them cannot be to blame, Quentin Crisp did so eloquently portray the social stigma of the day when said Puff ventured beyond the closet doors.
I remember Tony Blackburn telling a joke about homosexuality way back when and closing his joke by saying he'd be leaving the country before it came compulsory, all suggesting that homosexuality was NOT so prolific as it is today.
The wonderful thing about science is that it is a LAW unto itself and is impart responsible for moulding of public attitudes, very fitting when it could be seen as the culprit that was responsible for the chaos and sexual confusion one witnesses today, from the food one eats to the packaging it comes delivered in, all have the ability in which to steer future sexual orientation.
As you made one's feelings known, so shall I.
Today's versions of society are the responsibility of meddling Frankenstein's, who for what ever reason have an agenda to eradicate the family and destroy any assemblance of normality ( 2 sexes ) by genetically modifying anything and everything associated with the human food chain.
I doubt natural selection comes anywhere near it, Darwin would turn in his grave.

As to why this whole phenomenon has increased so dramatically, I suggested above that there are endocrine disruptions from our current chemical poisoning by industry. I have also suggested elsewhere that there is a cultural genocide being perpetrated by Zionists bent on the destruction of Christianity and Christian civilization. (They have been pursuing this ever since Jesus attacked the privileges and brainwashing of the Pharisees, today known as Rabbis.) There is also, IMHO, a divide-and-rule program being pushed by the Corporatocracy - as long as we are fighting each other, we will not have the energy to fight them, our real enemies. And finally, there is the dissension foisted upon us by the political class. Basically, all of them want the slaves fighting each other, for whatever reasons can be manufactured, and the rabble roused to passion. Misdirection, fake issues, terror, fear, anger, and greed - all weapons being wielded against us by highly skilled practitioners.
Black, white, brown, red, yellow, gay or straight, male or female all laws apply equally to everyone (except the elite).
I know people who are gay, mostly through my daughter's friends. I don't hate them, I treat them as I would treat anyone else, but I won't be a part of any of their discussions for rights as they don't need them, they have the same as me, why should they get anything special. Yes, these people know they are gay, they were not taught it, like today. Procreation should be taught, being gay, no.
I'm against gay marriage and for gay union or gay wedlock. Marriage is between man and woman. The fact that they allowed them to be recognized as marriage, has corrupted the whole ideal of what marriage actually is.
Like your studies point out, it's a deviation from the norm, corrupted genetics. It's no wonder today that so many more people are gay, than 30 years ago, all the toxic chemicals in our food system, over vaccination of children from birth, the PILL (which ramps up female hormones tricking the body into thinking it's pregnant), the list goes on. As the studies point out, certain things happen at certain stages of the babies development and anyone of these toxic substances just add to the corruption, the derivation from the true norm.
So deviants they are and they can participate in society like everyone else. Hitting, killing someone because they are gay, doesn't need a special law, as that's already covered. Does it make the crime any worse if they are? No, it's still a crime. No different than any other callus crime committed against any random stranger.
Was gayness around during creation? Nope, but it was around and has been around ever since our gene pool was corrupted and we have to live with that fact until our creator settles the issue.
Do I agree with what this leader is doing, nope. It's counter productive and good or bad, it's a special law created for this group. See what I'm saying?
In a free and open society, ALL are treated equally under the law. Unfortunately this does not exist because we believe the lies that there are gray areas. Phooey.
Been to any of their parades? It's an abomination. Why should they get to have a parade, let alone allowed to have a parade celebrating gayness? Where are all the Straight parades celebrating straightness? There aren't any, why, because it's stupid, childish and quite frankly not necessary. Gay people say they are normal, then they go and participate in these parades. That ain't normal behavior and I and most people don't care to see on our streets just how these people behave behind closed doors. That's their own business, they should keep it that way. But ever since we gave them an inch, they've tried to grab it all and now it's time to tell them to go ef off and suck it up like everyone else does. They've highjacked the rainbow for their purposes, knowing exactly what it means, not gayness, but GOD's covenant with US.
As for the animal kingdom, that's different. We are not part of the animal kingdom as everything on this earth is of it's own kind and just because we see, what we call deviant human behavior in humans, happening in the animal kingdom, doesn't mean they are gay. No one knows, not even the scientists/magicians. I know this for a fact simply because no animal in any of these studies were asked for input. Specifically why did you do it? All we can do is observe and make assumptions. But the fact that animals do do this sort of thing, does not make them gay, nor does it prove justification that it is okay to be gay in the human kingdom. All I see is that yeah, animals do it ( a few) humans do it (a few). So instead of scientists building cases to justify the existence of being gay, they should be saying how can we stop this from happening and make our genome more better, so people don't do this. After all, it's a dead end in the genome.
However, those pulling the strings see it the complete opposite way, lets promote it, justify it, make them all live it, just like they themselves do.
I'd rather see discourse on what humanity can do to fix our situation, so that there is less deviants, not more. That is what I believe is truly missing from all these discourses on gayness. Gay's, should be happy about this, simply because they know it's not normal and no one else should have to go through life with feelings like they have. I'm not into genetic manipulation, the kind where we do the manipulating to make a better human. That's playing GOD and has bad consequences written all over it. More needs to be done on prevention and less on actions to correct. You can't correct corruption with a pill, but you can prevent corruption through prevention.
A good start at prevention is for the rest of us to just let them be, just like you do with your neighbours and everyone else. A person is a person no matter what kind they are.
Do I care who is mating with who? Nope, unless money or politics is involve and my Spidey sense starts to tingle.
That was then. We've been dumping hormones and hormone altering chemicals into our waste water system for generations. Out food supply is filled with hormones of all description. Our vaccine schedule for children has tripled. Now we have 'Wokeism' as a result, plus we have the Gates/mRNA injections to finish off the human race.
There really isn't a safe space left on Earth to escape this crap, is there?
While I find a life sentence a bit harsh, it is still their business.
