Uganda gay rights activist decapitated
Posted by wac14
July 6, 2010Ugandan LGBT activist Pasikali Kashusbe was discovered murdered when Ugandan police found his severed head, which had been thrown down a latrine.
The latrine was on the farm of Kashube’s employer, Electoral Commission Chairman Badru Kiggundu.
Last week, a sexually-mutilated and decapitated body had been found less than a mile from the site of Kashube’s head. Investigators believe that this was Kashube’s body.
Kashube was a volunteer with Integrity Uganda, a gay rights group. He went missing in June, but Ugandan officials only found him when they were searching for another missing gay activist, Rev. Henry Kayizzi Nsubuga.
Nsubuga has been missing for three weeks, ever since he delivered a sermon in support of gay rights in Uganda.
Homosexuality in Uganda is illegal, with punishment up to life imprisonment. A bill, known colloquially in the U.S. as the “kill the gays bill” was introduced in October that would make those convicted of homosexuality subject to the death penalty. The bill is being met with much criticism from the international community, though it appears to have been sparked by a visit from U.S. evangelical missionaries.
The Ugandan lawmaker who proposed the bill, David Bahati, has refused to repeal the bill, despite international pressure.

OMG This is so horrible! My heart breaks so in reading this. Lord, forgive your Church for allowing its own bigotries and lack of studious examination of Scripture to release this Ugandan monster. Lord, help us correct this horrible sin against your children!
