African Countries

There are some countries in the world where the practice of homosexuality is still against the law.  It was thought these laws were getting old and weren't being enforced very well but recently the government of Uganda brought in new anti-sodomy laws.  It was a little disappointing to hear about it and especially since some American Christians have allegedly been working to gain sympathy from African countries on anti-gay issues.  Uganda is facing a lot of pressure from other countries elsewhere and also from the United States government.  Have been doing research on Africa on the Internet and they have quite a different lifestyle there than we do in the western world!  Their issues are complicated....  ***  If homosexuality is no longer seen as a psychiatric illness--and it hasn't been since the 1970s sometime--I believe it's a psychological issue.--And a lot of us wouldn't want to be criminalized for psychological issues!!!  Myself, I don't believe in the practice of homosexuality but I don't want to see it being made into a crime.  In the USA, they got away from it recently and it's kind of sad to see some places going backwards.  [The country of Kenya is a neighbour of Uganda and they also seem to have active laws in place against homosexual acts.]  ***  Aren't there worse problems in the world that need time and attention???
