Uganda -- Over the past week, Ugandan activists have reported the horrific murders of six LGBT individuals in a rural zone of the country: three gay men, two lesbians and a transperson. “They were killed by stoning. One who survived (still breathing after stoning) was burnt alive using kerosene/paraffin and a match box,” stated a witness and source to the Friends New Underground Railroad (FNUR), a Quaker solidarity initiative helping LGBT people in Uganda.

1. So when do Rick Warren, Scott Lively, and Martin Ssempra face the Hague?

6. When will Pope Francis, religious leader of 43% of Uganda, retract his words declaring that it is

"God's war" to fight against LGBT rights, when will he tell his Bishops to stop supporting the violence? When will he himself stand up against it? So far he has done plenty to incite hate against LGBT people all across the world for many long years, now he sits back and enjoys the fruits of his efforts.
The rest of them are culpable as well, but that does not let other culpable parties off the hook.
