GOP Rep Pushed “Death To Gays” Law In Uganda

[NoleATL]

These laws are direct results of conservative "christian" politicians and evangelicals and their decades of anti-gay campaigns in these countries...

Salon reports:

In a little-noticed October speech in Uganda, Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., urged that nation to stand behind its new Anti-Homosexuality Act, which includes the death penalty. Walberg’s remarks came at Uganda’s National Prayer Breakfast. His trip to attend the event was paid for by the secretive U.S. group behind the National Prayer Breakfast.
As the keynote speaker of the Entebbe event, Walberg advised Uganda to “stand firm” on the new law. Walberg can be seen in video of the event listening to, endorsing and associating himself with the remarks of other speakers. Speakers called LGBTQ+ advocates “a force from the bottom of hell” and urged officials to adopt “Christocracy” over democracy.

Read the full article. There’s much more.

Walberg last appeared here in 2020 when he became ill with COVID after opposing lockdown measures.

We first heard from him in 2017, when he declared that if climate change “turns out to be real, God will fix it.”

Walberg has opposed every LGBTQ rights measure before the House and co-sponsored a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

He was elected to a seventh term in 2022 by 28 points

Mainstream GOP member.
Interesting that he seems to sit on a lot of tech related committees. I assume there is some anti homo agenda he has on those committees. He doesn't seem like the forward thinking type.
