Wales: ‘Christian Voice’ Supports Ugandan Antigay Death Penalty Laws

Posted by: Craig Young

In Wales, militant fundamentalist Stephen Green of the extremist Christian Voice antigay pressure group has endorsed capital punishment for lesbians and gay men, one month after Uganda proposed its infamous Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which endorses the same.

Green claims that:

Gay people who have sex knowing they are HIV positive should be given the death penalty because they have “committed murder”;

Capital punishment is “acceptable” because it is “ordained by God” in the Bible;

*Britain’s laws “promote perversion” because they do not make homosexuality a criminal offence.

In Pen-y-Bont, a small Welsh village near Carmarthen, Green said: “As a Christian I agree with the death penalty and I don’t see why infecting someone with HIV should be treated in any other way than if you killed someone with a knife. It is extraordinary to think it is OK to infect someone else with HIV and get away with it.”

Christian Voice wants other fundamentalists to “support the Ugandan people in their determination to rid their nation of foreign homosexual proselytisation”.

Green claims LGBT westerners are travelling to Uganda to “convert” Ugandans. [And fundamentalist westerners aren’t?!!-C] This law is an understandable reaction to the pressure from human rights activists and homosexuals who are coming to the country as sex tourists.”

Welsh MP Chris Bryant (Rhondda) slammed Christian Voice’s latest moronic outburst: “Ignorance is one thing but deliberate ignorance is quite another. Aids is caused by a virus not by anybody’s sexuality and if people keep on propagating these myths then many more African people will die of Aids.”

He also condemned the survival of such fringe elements as Christian Voice in his native Wales.
