First, let's just clear the air here about AIDS charities in Africa, and this includes the Bush support of the same. AIDS in Africa is largely considered a straight problem. It's not a gay disease because gays are murdered or chased out of whatever area they live. So to say that they are helping AIDS relief in Africa is not to say that they are supporting anything pro-gay whatsoever. It is nice to see charitable work going toward such a cause, but when you consider the next part...
AIDS work in Africa is largely tied to religious organizations. Just like Bush's support, Warren's support of AIDS work in Africa revolves around avidly Christian groups. Groups that will force someone to accept Christianity as their religion or they don't get treatment. Very Christ-like...
Warren worked with one Christian
"With safe sex advocates on the run, Warren and Ssempa trained their sights on another social evil. In August 2007, Ssempa led hundreds of his followers through the streets of Kampala to demand that the government mete out harsh punishments against gays. 'Arrest all homos,' read placards. And: 'A man cannot marry a man.' Ssempa continued his crusade online, publishing the names of Ugandan gay rights activists on a website he created, along with photos and home addresses. 'Homosexual promoters,' he called them, suggesting they intended to seduce Uganda’s children into their lifestyle. Soon afterwards, two of President Yoweri Museveni’s top officials demanded the arrest of the gay activists named by Ssempa. Terrified, the activists immediately into hiding."So, to put this plainly, the man Warren supports in Africa to run his AIDS charity work is directly responsible for the persecution of LGBT folk in Africa. Warren bankrolled his operation. He is just as responsible. And Warren is the man our future President has asked to bless his Presidency and our country in 12 days. I Can't wait...
