The BBC reports that Museveni 'has refused to approve a controversial bill to toughen punishments for homosexuals.'

1. will have to digest this one for awhile but at least it's not law.

3. His words in refusing to sign it are very viciously homophobic and ignorant but

at least international pressure from LGBT people caused him to fear the repercussions of allowing that backward and regressive pogrom law to go forward.
Again, the stuff he said was horrific. It was not he who stopped the law, it was we the people of the planet.

4. Thanks.

I only skimmed the article was going to read in a bit.

Thanks again for the run down.

5. Never have I been so sick while hearing what is basically good news.

The level of rhetoric the world is accepting from various clergy and politicians is getting out of hand. The United States has troops on the ground assisting this nation, which should not be the case.

2. Good for him. nt
