Ugandan tabloid prints list of 'tycoons who bankroll homos'

[meegbear]

The Red Pepper, a Ugandan tabloid, has published a full-page article with the personal details of people who, it claims, 'bankroll Ugandan homos', Box Turtle Bulletin reports.

The paper, which has previously incited action against supporters of homosexual rights, printed the names, addresses, offices and makes of car belonging to the people it suspects are financing rights movements in the country.

In the article, 'coordinators' in the African country's LGBT community are reported to be paid a monthly salary in the region of US$780, many times more than the average Ugandan.

It also claims the blogger GayUganda shares in a US$20m fund from foreign sources. The claim was dismissed on the blog today.

The paper has previously run articles 'outing' scores of men in the country. Red Pepper's exposé explained "how to spot a gay man", "terminologies used by gays" and "how the gay men shaft", a description of gay sex.

It claimed that lubricants were "sent to the gays here from abroad."

The Box Turtle and blogger GayUganda identify the paper's source for its most recent article as Paul Kagaba, an "ex-gay".

3. The next thing we will see are the radio stations calling for the

outright murder of gays...we have seen this before. The Americans that went over there that started this shit should be held accountable and prosecuted for crimes against humanity if deaths occur.
