US Members of Family Condemn Ugandan Bill

A conservative group based in the U.S. that has been linked to the Uganda antigay bill has come out publicly to condemn the legislation.

A member of "The Family" with strong ties to the Ugandan membership, Bob Hunter, said that the organization opposes the bill, TheRachel Maddow Show reported Wednesday. Jeff Sharlet's recently published expose reveals several key members of the group, which includes several prominent American lawmakers like Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Bart Stupak, who have since come out to condemn the bill.

However, Sen. Sam Brownback said he didn't know enough about the bill to come out against it.
