Oh right, the wars in the deserts of Cambodia between the Men's Rights Alliance and the Feminist Horde. How could I forget.

[scriver]

The original reason was basically that Vector didn't feel comfortable posting in the Raeg Thread about politics so often, because it pretty much de-scussion-railed it every time, so she made her own thread to write about it, and it naturally evolved into a discussion thread from there. Hence why I still refer to it as the "Progressive Rage" thread. And yeah, a lack of active feminists means a lack of news about it, unfortunately, the same way if suddenly Truean disappeared, we would get a decrease in posts about courts/laws and gay issues (so don't you ever disappear on us, Truean )

I second this, even though you don't know who I am =P

British man imprisoned in Uganda for play that highlights the plight of homosexuals.

Mmm. Hope he avoids conviction. Sounds to me like he has a decent case (from that article alone, at least), but who knows.

American Bigots must be getting their jollies seeing their "justice" against those evul librals and homosexuals going into effect somewhere in the world. A shame that there's no legal recourse for making them responsible for their part in Uganda's human rights violations.

FTFY.

As it just so happens, there are a lot of connections between the most radical of the US fundamentalists (Family Research Council, Pat Robertson, Bryan Fisher, and the like) and Uganda. I forget the exact story, but some US fundamentalist actually sponsored their Kill The Gays Bill a couple of years back.

Most of the homophobia in Africa today can be traced back to colonialism (I can't say for sure about Uganda but I think it is).  It is a monster almost entirely created by the west.

Pretty much what I was referring to, although Sirus didn't seem to get the connection.

Prisoner abuse scandal in Georgia (country, not US state). Warning, graphic descriptions of torture.

Not just Africa, really, Asia too.

Which is especially ironic now that you see the Asian/African homophobes saying that homosexuality is a "disease from the west".

Once again Fox News does exactly ... no fact checking whatsoever, especially when that policy benefits it. The photo is from 2009, but hey, who cares how many years later and how out of context it is, right? Guys?

Oh, I'm almost positive they fact-checked it. And when the facts got in the way of good attack angle, they said "fuck it, nobody ever reads the corrections" and ran with it. Then issued the correction on their Twitter feed. Because we know all FOX News TV viewers are constantly plugged into Twitter.
