    Poor girl :frowning2: I'm wondering if she's a sexual abuse victim.

    I find it more worrying that the focus is on the 'lesbianism' aspect rather than on the fact that she's an eight year old girl committing sex acts.

    I am more worried that she is arrested as an 8 years old for being an alleged lesbian. I hope it's obvious enough about how wrong that sounds.

    This just depresses me even more. I don't think hatred for LGBT people will ever go away. :frowning2:

    I can't think of what's the worst part of this the "lesbianism" part, the "arrested on suspicion" part, or the "8 year old girl arrested" part.

    This law sounds like it was written by an angry 6 year old... Obviously she's too young to be doing all that, but it's honestly they gay part they're worried about? And now we're arresting children are we?

    Sometimes, I feel like humanity would be more competent if the leaders of these countries were replaced with ostriches. Poking your head in the dirt is much more productive.

    Re: 8 years old girl arrested on suspicion of "lesbianism" in Uganda

    They're more worried about the "lesbianism" than the idea an 8 year old girl could be commiting sex acts? probably forced, too?
    Or the fact they're arresting an 8 year old girl, a mere suspicion?

    What a fucked up situation... I hope the girl is alright.

    Wait what? She got arrested because she committed lesbianism? WHAT. I get that's really young to be doing that but like still, this is dumb. I hope she's not gonna be arrested for too long, or anything worse.

    The sad truth is how widespread the hysteria and sickness really is.

    Here in the United States, we had the Wenatchee witch hunts in the 1990's and, at the same time, panics in Bakersfield CA Malden MA, Jordan MN, and in the 1950's in Boise they were running police dragnets against homosexuals. Some people in California convicted of indecent exposure for publicly urinating remain on the sex offender registry today. What is happening in Uganda is removed only by a few years from the last outrage the United States.

    A friend of mine had the best brief explanation for this. "Americans are all fucked up when it comes to sex." Uganda, it appears, is no different.

    I'm not really surprised by this one bit. These crazy bigots will come up with any excuse to purge anything that they deem immoral or unnatural. The only difference between them and the crazies in the developed world is that the bigots in Uganda managed to get a chokehold on the government.

    Also is it just me, or are the odds of an 8 year old girl "luring" in other little girls to finger them pretty much slim to none?

    This is disturbing and stupid in many ways.

    And: “No study has shown you can be homosexual by nature. That’s why I have agreed to sign the bill.”

    I suppose all that human history of homosexual behavior just means nothing? Or the many examples of homosexual behavior many animal species has exhibited means nothing?
