Current TV Tackles Uganda Antigay Bill


UGANDA CURRENT TV X390

Current TV’s documentary series Vanguard heads to Uganda in May for an episode devoted to looking at the state of Uganda’s proposed “kill the gays” bill.

Correspondent Mariana van Zeller digs around for information at the bill and examines the impact of American evangelicals on the antigay rhetoric being preached.

Vanguard, which has won a Peabody Award for its in-depth look at global issues, returns May 19 for its fourth season with an episode devoted to journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who were held captive in North Korea.

The episode devoted to Uganda will air May 26. Watch below for a preview of the episode.

    Also, would everyone follow Nikki's lead and give a Sieg Heil to the great Purpose that Drives this Nation of Uganda?

    Nikki: And while you're capitalizations are, as the only (half) interpretations you offer of the Bible, quite "AWESOME" and "CREATIVE", the scriptural words you use don't say jack about consensual same sex attraction or activity (i.e. homosexuality). "Effeminate" is suddenly translated to "homosexual" and suddenly becomes an enormous revelation even though it is mentioned, uh, ONCE. But all of this is irrelevant. There are people that have a personal, real, unearthly relationships with God and know God in their soul; and there are people who have mean-spirited, mundane biases and support them with their literal version of the dated, contradictory, weakly patriarchial word of man as the word of a perfect being. The former are religious; the latter are fools. But ask yourself this; what does the bible mean in "neither female nor male in Christ" (Galatians)? It means that man-made notions of gender-driven hierarchy don't apply to the divine. SO GET OFFA MY CLOUD, BITCH.

    Everyone three cheers for Nikki for having given doubtless 10 to 15 minutes of her time to idiotically misquote the book she is using against something not even mentioned ONCE in any of its quotes. Leviticus does not say “mankind”, nor does it say “womankind”. It is most commonly (and erroneously) translated to mean “man/brother that lies with” “man/brother like a woman”. The greek translation, AS MOST BIBLICAL SCHOLARS WILL TELL YOU, incorrectly translated “egyptian male prostitute” to “man/brother like a woman” and “Egyptian temple master/client” to “man/brother that lies with”. Also, is it not AN ABOMINATION for you to use the words of the old Testament as the words of Christ? Is it not AN ABOMINATION for you, a mere human, to tell us who the Almighty really is and to impose your selfish view of him unto us?

    Nikki don't you DARE speak to my relationship with God. Focus on your own relationship with God.

    The Judge of Heaven and Earth says, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is ABOMINATION. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is CONFUSION;" KJV-Leviticus 18:22-24. " Know ye not that the UNrighteous hall not inherit the KINGDOM OF GOD? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, nor ABUSERS of THEMSELVES with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall INHERIT the KINGDOM OF GOD"; KJV-1 Corinthians 6:910. "BUT the fearful, and unbelieving, and the ABOMINABlE, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: which is the SECOND DEATH"; KJV-Revelation 21:8. "FOR, BEHOLD, THE DAY COMETH, THAT SHALL BURN AS AN OVEN; ....and the DAY THAT COMETH shall BURN THEM UP,...KJV-Malachi 4:1. READ!

    If it wasn't gay people, but straight people who were going to be the targets of Ugandas proposed bill, I wonder if the intervention would be different from the US. This seems like a very big deal to me and all I hear from our leaders is "well that's not nice". If ever there was a reason to do a serious intervention in another country, wouldn't this be it?
