Seriously, if this thing passes every democracy on the planet that gives them aid money should cut it off immediately.

Props to that stupid KONY2012 thing, without which this would probably not be in the news.

Can we issue a "Kill the MP" bill?

[Aardwolf]

But we need the MP! He makes general discussion make sense!

It's reading about the stupid crap that people want to do, that makes me want to be the UK's version of Nuke...Only with less Satan, cats and Cinnamon buns, and more Earl Grey tea.

See, the more stuff like this is still perfectly acceptable in other parts of the world, the more I want the UK to at least prove it's good at something by legalizing Gay Marriage. I think that Homosexuals have probably had to endure more persecution and discrimination for longer than any other minority.

And the deplorable thing is that, even here in the 'civilized' world, there would be a measurable percentage of people who would find this law perfectly acceptable in their own country.

Humanity are Nature's trolls & haters. We (as a whole) hate every single thing that exists, doesn't exist or might exist.

One MP. Homophobia is widely spread in Africa, including Uganda. Ugandan press has been known to spread addresses and pictures of "top 100 homosexuals in Uganda" and the place is just rife with violence. It's not limited to Uganda either: in 2011 UK and Ghana got into a dispute about the matter, where UK threatened to cut grants to Ghana unless they legalized homosexuality - this might interest Flipside, by the way. Ghanan reply was pretty much "**** off".

I live in a nation which is nowadays relatively tolerant of homosexuals, had a homosexual running for president earlier this year (well he lost but what can we do), hasn't managed to ratify gender-neutral marriage law despite long effort, and where homosexuality was regarded an illness until 1981. Civil unions were only made possible in 2002. It's quite a long process for a country to become used to homosexuals. Especially something as christian as many African nations.

Sounds a lot like the United States actually, although I doubt they'd touch a gay presidential candidate.
