Anti-Gay bill #8 on Uganda Parliamentary Agenda

Uganda’s Parliament is back in session.  The anti-homosexuality bill is back as was expected.  Today it appeared as number eight of “business to follow” – and interestingly – a marriage and divorce bill follows at number nine.  This is so close in to the “family values” espoused by evangelical policy makers in the United States.  Think Rick Santorum, The Iowa Family Policy Center, Heritage, FRC, etc.
