I read TIME magazine and in the August 17, 2015 issue I learned the history of why Uganda kills gay people for simply being born gay. It's because three Christian U.S. Pastors went there to incite violence against gay people and helped generate a law to murder gay people. The pastors are Scott LIvely, Don Schmierer and Caleb Lee Brundidge.
Christianity has been hijacked by extremists like these "pastors" who believe in murdering people because they're gay. It has been hijacked by people like the KY clerk and Josh Duggar who believe in their twisted minds that they can be morally, physically and sexually corrupt and they are "godly."
Christians should be furious that christianity is solely responsible for the recent Ugandan law to kill gay people- all brought on by these three "men of god."
The article in TIME said that before these three christians came to Uganda to whip up the hatred against gay people, the country quietly accepted gays and lesbians. Now, they're all foaming at the mouth to murder them. WHY? Because of 3 Christian "Pastors." Are you angry yet?
Here's the story about one of these bastards facing trial now in the U.S. for what he has done to the Ugandan people:

Anti-gay pastor Scott Lively will stand trial in federal court for crimes against humanity. He has tried for months to have the case dismissed on First Amendment grounds, but the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston has denied his last petition for dismissal. He’s going to court.
Lively, who lives in Springfield, Massachusetts, is a
57-year-old author, attorney, pastor, and anti-gay activist. (He would
call himself a “pro-family” activist.) In 1992, he helped pass America’s
first anti-gay legislation, a short-lived ordinance banning any support
of homosexuality in Springfield, Oregon. He then co-wrote The Pink Swastika,
a book that posits homosexuals “as the true inventors of Nazism.” In
1997, he founded Abiding Truth Ministries, apparently “the first
Christian organization devoted exclusively to opposing homosexuality.”
For more than 20 years, he has been fighting what he perceives to be a
gay agenda trying to destroy society.Anti-gay pastor Scott Lively will stand trial in federal court for crimes against humanity. He has tried for months to have the case dismissed on First Amendment grounds, but the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston has denied his last petition for dismissal. He’s going to court.
He has successfully influenced anti-gay policies in other countries, most notably in Uganda from whence the current lawsuit originates. (Lively’s role in stoking homophobic hatred in Africa is captured in the documentary God Loves Uganda.)
With the help of the Center for Constitutional Rights,
Lively is being sued by Ugandan human rights organization Sexual
Minorities Uganda for violating international law by intentionally
contributing to the persecution of Ugandan homosexuals and seeking to
deprive LGBT members of the Ugandan population of their basic human
rights.
SO HE WENT TO UGANDA: Lively preached that homosexuals were coming into Uganda to recruit
Ugandan children and that homosexuals would rip apart the very fabric of
Ugandan society—the family—if they weren’t stopped. He used the United
States as an example of what could happen.SO UGANDA DRAFTED A "KILL THE GAYS" BILL - One Ugandan legislator said afterward, confirming the impact of Lively’s visit, “We must exterminate homosexuals before they exterminate society.” Adapting Lively’s rhetoric, Ugandan parliamentarians immediately drafted the infamous Anti-Homosexuality Act—also known as the “Kill the Gays” bill because it included the death penalty for repeated “offenses” of homosexuality.
ONE OUTCOME- MURDER OF A UGANDAN GAY RIGHTS FIGURE - In January 2011, David Kato, considered the father of the Ugandan gay rights movement (he co-founded Sexual Minorities Uganda), was murdered in his home after winning a seminal right-to-privacy case for the LGBT community.
He's now on trial in the U.S. and being charged as an abettor himself: for promoting the hatred and persecution of a minority. THE LATEST FROM THE COURT:
