It never fails to amaze me how quickly we can go backwards, our own country included.

Homophobia, supported by many US-funded evangelical Christians, has become more virulent in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. In 2011, a prominent Ugandan gay rights campaigner, David Kato, was bludgeoned to death at his home after a newspaper splashed photos, names and addresses of gay people in Uganda on its front page along with a yellow banner reading "Hang Them".

The Americans really need to look at their involvement in this. Though we really should take a much tougher stance on them. Sanctions would be a start.

I think this is messed up, however I fail to see how it's fair for one government to bully another with sanctions over one human rights issue. It effectively destorys democracy for all but the strongest countries.

Yes very few countries would be clean. Democracy does not really exist in many so called democracies, especially when unelected leaders can be imposed on a country by the IMF.
