So the given figure of 100.000 is actually representing only between 0.5% and 0.2.5% of the population which is well below the rate at which LBGT populations are estimated to exist. If their population is 31million, and the LBGT is 10% of the population (the usual estimate % being 1 in 10) , then the gay population of Uganda is 3.100.000 not 100.000 people

I suppose gays also turn themselves into goats when cornered? And come on, Uganda, you have a flag that looks like a Pride float adornment with a chickenhawk in drag as it's main subject! Talk about completely ignoring the obvious. Ye gads, they're idiots aren't they? I suppose gays also turn themselves into goats when cornered?

Aside from the UN angle, it's not much different than the way people talked when I was in high school. Give 'em about 20 years.
