The situation in Uganda, where the anti-homosexuality "Kill the Gays" Bill still thrives, continues to deteriorate as news now comes of more radical and dangerous American Evangelicals going into the heated atmosphere of anti-gay hate to hold a huge homophobic rally.

Lou Engle, a radically anti-gay and anti-abortion evangelical, is scheduled to hold an all-day anti-gay stadium event, TheCall Uganda Rally, on May 2nd, at Makerere University Sports Field, Kampala, Uganda. If both Engle and TheCall sound familiar, it's because a similar event, a 12-hour rally to boost support for Yes on 8, was held in San Diego's Qualcomm stadium during the Prop 8 battle in California.

Patricia Nell Warren gave some background on Engle and TheCall when she looked into their California event (a must-read post on Engle):

"A major figure in the New Apostolic Reformation that I've been writing about, Engle has close ties with the violent anti-abortion movement called The Army of God, who stirred up such a frenzied atmosphere of attacks on abortion clinics that they finally incited someone to assassinate the well-known doctor George Tiller.

His own movement also calls for acts of "martyrdom" -- meaning followers who are willing to commit violent acts, including murder, who will willingly go to prison or be shot down by police, so they can rid the world of the movement's "enemies," namely prominent abortionists and LGBT leaders and the like."

Now Engle is taking that dangerous message and rhetoric to Uganda, already a powder keg of hate and violence against LGBT people

Much, much more after the jump...

    • it never ceases to amaze me. just as terrorists claim islam is a religion of peace(wich it is but they corrupt it)christianity touts its moral superiority while beating up on the defenseless.
      would jesus really endorse what your doing?
      didnt he promote hate the sin love the sinner?
      turn the other cheek mean anything?
      protect the heathens and teach them right? or is just hastening thier death easier?
      at least have the descency to hate on your own and not sully your lords name with your malevolance.

    • I wish there was a way to legally take this %^&hole down. I wonder if anybody has held a candle light vigil outside his house praying for the souls of the innocents that he has killed?
