That people are so hell bent on spending more money to do the worst* possible things rather than just doing the right things in 2024 blows my mind.
In Christo-fascist Uganda, da poopoo eat you
I shouldnt be laughing about this horrible issue but god damn it i fucking forgot about that video lmao
Priorities.
Also, what's a bit funny to me is they used the excuse of "homosexuality is a form of western colonialism", but they're taking notes directly from western far-right playbook here.
Bigotry is literally due to western colonialism in many places in the first place. How many instances of what used to be a cultures version of queer people were erased and demonized by colonizing nations in history?
A lot of cultures used to have third genders and even might have thought highly of them, having them be shamans or other prestigious positions
And Russian playbook.
And my uncle Rickie's playbook, oddly enough.
Thank you, US evangelicals! You again managed to fuck another entire country up
WTF, Uganda? Could you maybe be a bit more chill?
They’ve been brainwashed by American evangelicals.

Is this the "gay agenda" I keep hearing about?
Oh dear. I suppose it would be too much to ask for the evangelicals to be a bit more chill?
These evangelicals should maybe die in a fire. They are the root of a severe problem that only leads to this shit. Hateful awful people that have no concept of empathy or shame.

"Well, I can't see any references to being nice to people in my holy text!!!"
I'd just ask them to kill themselves
Good.
How?
Open for Business identified eight key areas in which the AHA has impacted Uganda’s economy, including international aid, foreign direct investment, tourism and national reputation, public health, national productivity, policing and legal costs, human capital and talent flight, and trade relations.
Yes most of it was from us making it change it trade policy for international aid.
I'd recommend reading the article, it explains the details pretty well.
