American Family Association's Fischer: 'Uganda stands with' Duck Dynasty star

American Family Association's Fischer: 'Uganda stands with' Duck Dynasty star

by Hunter

American Family Association "Director of Issues Analysis" Bryan Fischer:

Uganda stands with Phil. Makes homosexuality contrary to public policy. It can be done. http://t.co/QeEvVkfBGa
— @BryanJFischer

The story Fischer approvingly links to:

The Ugandan Parliament announced Friday that it had approved legislation imposing harsh penalties on gay people, including life imprisonment for what it called “aggravated homosexuality,” effectively brushing aside previous objections to antigay legislation from outside powers, including President Obama. <...>

Specifically, the law — officially titled the Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009 — provides for a 14-year jail term for a first conviction and “imprisonment for life for the offense of aggravated homosexuality,” a Parliament announcement said. <...>

In 2011, a newspaper published a list of gay people and urged readers and policy makers to “hang them.”

The American Family Association has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
