Kasha Jacqueline is my new hero.

There is so much I want to say about this right now.

I guess I will start with pointing fingers.

Ugandan courts are debating right now over a bill which will put any suspected gay person in Uganda to death. People who know someone is gay but do not report it will receive three years in prison.

Places with lower levels of education often have higher levels of homophobia.

Uganda thinks this is okay to kill these people because they think these people choose to be attracted to people of the same sex. They associate being gay with being possessed by demons and with doing all sorts of dirty, gross things in bed. They associate being gay with gross sex and demons, because it is against their god's will.

Why would someone choose to be gay in an environment like that? While there are people like that on almost every country, why would anyone choose to be gay anywhere?

Why would anyone choose to be pushed against lockers or thrown out of religious universities? Why would anyone choose to be ostracized by their family, even possibly by their entire community? Why would anyone choose a life of imprisonment? Why would anyone choose the death penalty?

People of faith often pick and choose which verses of their holy books to value and live by.

Facts are facts. Whether you choose to believe them or not, they are still there, and they are still true. You can make yourself comfortable in your own little bubble of idealized religion and accuse everything different than what you are use to or everything you are uncomfortable with an act against your god, but you are really blinding yourself with your own ignorance.

And it is people like you who are causing things like this.

It is people like you who cause LGBTI-identified youth to make an attempt at their own lives four times more often than their straight counterparts.

You people have blood on your hands.
