What if- I lose my job?

George Oundo and the FLN are naming names. fm stations. Press conferences, etc, etc.

Things have been pretty good this year, job wise. But there is a good possibility that I am on the way to being outed.

I am gay. And I am one of the leaders. And it seems the Stephen Langa juggernaut is rolling in that direction. Being outed is of course a nightmare. Somehow, I cannot take back my being gay… some people seem to think it is so easy. If you may be outed, why not pay that price and deny being gay? Why not humble myself and shamefacedly ‘come to Christ’ and say I am no longer gay? I will be given a table near Langa and Ssempa. I will be feted, as one of the chief apostates saved. I can continue my life on a downlow. They don’t need to know, do they?

I am gay, and proud. Putting a foot out of my closet, however microscopically I have done, is something which I will not reverse.

Society? I will, can and throw the finger. Pretty independent.

Clan? They are a problem. But to date, they seem reconciled to leaving me alone. Will that last?

So, what if I am outed? The job matters. Of course. It matters a lot.

Multi-job person that I am, I am confortable with some of my employers. They did stand by me the first time…! But that was before I was accused and taken to be guilty of ‘recruitment’. My defense holds not true. After all, I am gay. So I cannot speak the truth, right?

Clients. The people that Langa is calling on, whose ire he has raised are being told to imagine what it would be like to be ministered to by a big, bad homosexual like me. And then he is telling them where we work. One guy, a headmaster, was accused of sodomizing children. On national TV. The New Vision dared not print his name. Apparently it has been in the works for a long time, that part of the agenda. And since some of us are politicians, doctors, teachers, lawyers, etc, we are going to be exposed. The huge popular righteous anger of the populace is going to be poured on these homosexual individuals.

Of course, being homosexuals, we cannot be fruitful in any vocation. That is a clear cut thing. If we are doctors, or lawyers, it is clear we must be ostracized and cast out, all in the name of Jesus and family values.

Many know who I am, in my many disguises. So, it is something that I have to think about, rationally. What if I can no longer work?

Sigh....!

Will have to cross that bridge when I get to it. Some people do tell me that I am good at what I do, so, maybe it will survive the revelation that I am a homosexual. But, the lingering question, what if I lose…!

You cannot recruit people into homosexuality

Hey, the Monitor did publish MY letter. Remember the conversation I once had with them? I am tempted to ask what has changed...  But gift horses are not to be questioned.

Here it is.

You cannot recruit people into homosexuality

As a homosexual, I am very concerned about the allegations made by Mr George Oundo and the Family Life Network (FLN) about gay Ugandans. Mr Oundo has confessed to recruiting children, which is a very serious matter that the police should follow up.

I am gay but I have never engaged in recruiting children into homosexuality. Mr Oundo’s allegation that he has been recruiting children is something I find simply ridiculous because it isn’t possible to change one’s sexual orientation. Are straight people recruited into being straight? In the same way, homosexuals are not ‘recruited’.

Oundo and FLN allege that huge amounts of money are being spent on ‘recruitment’ in schools and universities. From the amounts quoted, I think gay organisations would be the biggest, strongest organisations in Uganda. They would be donors! Being gay may make be different but I am not evil.

OUNDO WON’T STOP GAY RIGHTS STRUGGLE, ACTIVISTS VOW

 From BTM

Last Updated: March 25, 2009

 

By Nthateng Mhlambiso (BTM Managing Editor) and

Nomancotsho Pakade (The Link Programme Coordinator)

 

UGANDA – 25 March 2008: The gay community in Uganda says that a confession by George Oundo, that he recruited school children as part of a programme to promote the practice in Ugandan schools, is the first step of a strategy by anti-gay groups to destroy the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) movement in that country.

 

This community believes that Oundo has been “compromised” by Family Life Network (FLN), which organised an anti-gay conference in Uganda recently, to spread false rumours about the movement, as part of FLN and Uganda Joint Christian Council’s campaign to curb homosexuality in higher education institutions.

 

In an article by Paul Kiwuuwa of Uganda’s New Vision on 23 March, George Oundo told parents that funders gave him “much money” and offered him training abroad so that he could recruit school children into homosexuality.

 

He also claimed to have supplied pornographic materials in a form of books and compact discs, showing homosexuality, to young boys in many Ugandan schools.

 

“I met George in 2007 at the World Social Forum in Nairobi and he introduced himself to me as Georgina, the ‘the young girl’”, Victor Mukasa, whom, in his confession, Oundo said initiated him to homosexuality at the age of 12, revealed.

 

Mukasa, an LGBTI human rights defender who presently works for International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) added that Oundo played an activist role and seemed dedicated to advancing LGBTI rights in Uganda.

 

“I have never understood how one can be recruited into another sexual orientation and I was not aware that George was recruiting the youth into homosexuality. Perhaps it was his individual agenda but definitely not that of the gay rights movement in Uganda”, Mukasa said.

 

Meanwhile Frank Mugisha, Chairperson of Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) said Oundo might be confusing seduction with recruitment in his confession statement.

 

“If he was seducing straight men into being his partners, he was pushing his individual agenda as Georgina, not as part of SMUG and he must not confuse seduction with recruitment”, Mugisha said.

 

He added that he met Oundo in 2006 and that, at the time, Oundo was already a gay man.

 

“At the time he was homeless and the LGBTI community helped him sort out his rent because we felt he was part of the community. We did not know that he was pretending.”

 

“Even after I heard that he was compromised by anti gay groups, I asked him and he told me that people were telling lies about him, that he was a woman, will always be woman and will never change.”

 

Mugisha also dismissed allegations by Family Life Network, broadcast on Uganda’s local television station WBS, that SMUG received 1.2 Billion Ugandan Shillings from IGLHRC and other organisations in the UK to promote homosexuality in schools, as blatant lies.

 

Mukasa vowed that even though Oundo “has become another anti-gay activist”, he will not stop the struggle for gay rights in Uganda.

 

Several efforts to contact Oundo were unsuccessful as he let his phone ring.

The Media Frenzy starts; or Continues-

Ugandan Parents concerned on homosexuality

First published: 20090325 12:09:27 PM EST

Ugandan Parents speak out on homosexuality

Parents in Uganda have expressed concern over the increasing levels of homosexuality, defilement and sexual harassments of children.

The parents under the Family Life Network (FLN) says that information revealed from several reliable sources indicates that many children in schools are facing horror, frustration, mental and psychological torture for being cajoled into homosexuality.

FLN’s Executive Director, Langa Steven say that there are agents involved in recruiting children into homosexuality and lesbianism.

Langa says that these suspected groups take advantages children by using deception, manipulation and coercion.

Pastor Joseph Male who addressed a press conference in Kampala with Langa also says that findings show that immorality groups are recruiting children into homosexuality. He says these homosexual promoters hide behind human rights organization and claim to be protecting sex minorities Uganda.

Pastor Male claims that these groups spend about 2,000,000 per week to recruit university students into homosexuality and lesbianism.

Wataba David, a concerned parent in Kampala says that other effective tools used to break the resistance and defenses of children is pornography shown to potential victims

The parents condemned Amakula film festival for showing homosexual films to young children through their annual shows in the country.

The parents said they are going to write to the President Museveni showing their discontent at what they call the increasing immorality levels in the county so that the government can reverse the trend.

Bu some organizers have blamed the parents for persecuting children who are naturally transgender or attracted to people of the same sex. While pro gay activities argue that it is a natural phenomena, anti gay activists say homosexuality is an acquired behavior which promotes sexual unions against the order of nature. Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda.

Eight denounce homosexuality

Wednesday, 25th March, 2009        

By Moses Mulondo

 

EIGHT more men yesterday confessed involvement in homosexuality and gay activities, which they said they had abandoned. Speaking to journalists at the Grand Imperial Hotel in Kampala, the youthful men described homosexuality as abnormal and anti-Christian, and declared war against it.

 

The tough-talking men were accompanied by George Oundo, who earlier in the week denounced homosexuality and confessed recruiting school children into the practice.

 

“We have been involved in recruiting homosexuals, spreading the gospel of homosexuality, and we know the operations of homosexuals,” said 27-year-old Emma Matovu, who took to homosexuality 13 years ago. “We shall do all it takes to eliminate the practice in Uganda.”

 

Matovu, who said he abandoned the practice two weeks ago, asserted: “Homosexuality is dangerous and dehumanising but is growing fast in Uganda.”

 

He urged the Government and all concerned citizens to “wake up now before this abnormal practice is made to appear normal as the case has been in the West”.

 

Another former homosexual, Charles Asiimwe, said the practice had spread to government offices, churches, schools and hotels. “Many business moguls are involved,” Asiimwe said.

 

Oundo said the eight men would fight the vice because they were victims with a tormenting experience.

 

“We shall expose those who refuse to abandon the practice and we shall not be intimidated because we are protected by Jesus,” he asserted. “We know their operations, including a restaurant in the city centre where homosexuals wait for clients from nearby hotels.”

 

He urged his former partners to abandon the practice, saying Uganda should become a role model in fighting the “barbarism”.

 

He called on Juliet Mukasa, the head of the Sexual Minorities in Uganda (SMUG), Bishop Christopher Ssenyonjo, a gay rights activist and headmaster Kisule (other name withheld) to abandon the practice.

 

SMUG brings together lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and intersex activists in Uganda.

 

Addressing the press conference, Family Life Network chief Stephen Langa read a statement from parents and concerned citizens, urging the Government to establish a probe to assess the prevalence of homosexuality in Uganda.

 

“We want a confidential platform to be provided for abused children to speak out without being stigmatised,” the parents suggested.

 

Langa said his group would move around the country convincing parents to sign a petition to be handed to the President and Parliament on April 7. He said the petition will demand urgent steps to be taken against homosexuality in Uganda.

Uganda's Anti-Gay Agenda: Part 3

I have been silent. Some updates on the anti-gay agenda. Told you a meeting was going to be held on Sunday, didnt I?

It was held. And here are the notes of one of the attendees on the way forwards for the Anti-Gay Agenda. Remember, these are not my notes...

They are interesting. In as much as they happen to show the wolves face clothed in the sheep's fur.

UGANDA: FLN Comes out Strong on Homosexuality

Family Life Network - FLN Comes out Strong on Homosexuality in Uganda

To follow up the anti – gay training in Uganda from 5th to 7th March 2009. Family Life Net work – FLN, organized a follow up meeting on Sunday 15th March 2009.

The meeting attracted an audience of over 60 people, mostly parents who included civil servants, government workers, researchers, journalists, activists and students. The assistant director FLN gave a brief back ground of Family Life Network that FLN deals with restoration of family values.

 

Participants who attended the the previous anti - gay seminar  where asked to give a recap. After that, the audience gave testimonies of their encounter with homosexuals in Uganda and that the movement is  strong hence the need for strong forces to deal with the gay movement in Uganda.

The assistant director FLN then introduced the director family Life Network Stephan Langa as the main facilitator of the day.

In his opening remarks, Stephan Langa said the Gay Agenda is controlling the debate, so it is time for the family to take over and start controlling the debate. He also emphasized terms like “Sexual Orientation and told participants not to allow such terms in our vocabulary, that these are terms or words introduced by homosexuals to full fill their agenda. He warned participants that homosexuals in Uganda want the constitution to include none discrimination based on “sexual orientation” , he urged participants not to allow it.

Stephen Langa further said he has been doing counseling for young people since 2002, and that he has counseled over 300.0000 young people in over 700 schools.

Presentation  “Homosexuality in Uganda.” By Stephen Langa

What cause homosexuality.

In his presentation Stephan Langa said homosexuality is not about sex, it is about the search for a fatherly or motherly figure. Children with bad parenting end up becoming homosexuals as they search for mother’s or father’s love.

He also mentioned another cause of homosexuality as child abuse; he said that the homosexuals he has counseled have been abused as children. He sited broken families as another cause of homosexuality.

He mentioned domineering mothers and abusive fathers as another cause of homosexuality, as well as negligent father who are emotionally off with children. Exposure to pornography as another cause of homosexuality.

He said some people are lured into homosexuality by money and other social favors 

Rebellion, he said some children become homosexuals because they want to be rebellious, noting that homosexuality is some kind of rebellion.

 

He also said same sex attraction is a disorder and quoted: Richard Cohen MA. He emphasized the point that all homosexuals can change since all disorders can be changed.  Homosexuality is not genetical, it is a learned behavior and what is learned can be unlearned. (Richard Cohen MA.)

HISTORY OF THE MODERN GAY MOVEMENT

He talked about Henry Garber, who was a German American soldier in 1924, that Henry Garber sodomized Champ Simmons and Champ Simmons Sodomized Harry Hay. Then Harry Hay started the whole gay movement that gays follow to date. Source: The PINK SWASTIKA – Dr. Scott Lively.

GAY  AGENDA.

• Utopia meaning, the gay agenda has no sexual restrictions and they what the entire world to adapt to this trend of life.
  
  
• That homosexuals want total acceptance
  
  
• That homosexuals want to over throw the marriage, family values and the moral base of society.

GAY STRATEGY

Homosexuals have redefined homosexuality as in- born and that it is gender irreversible.

They focus on who they are and what they want.  They are after your children

The homosexuals shift the talk from ethics and psychology to politics, human rights and social injustices. In this they emulate the pattern of civil rights movement.

They create passive language, thereby influencing the public opinion to support their cause, words like gay, have been hijacked by homosexuals, “There is nothing gay about being gay” , they are not happy, ‘gay means happiness’.

They want to make new laws and repeal old laws that conflict with their agenda or goals.

They portray the homosexual community as natural and normal

They organize public demonstrations and events

They promote education about homosexuality as a normal alternative life style

They promote homosexuality through education systems and structures.

 They normalize homosexuality through entertainment and the media, they use mind controlling tactics, they pay friendly reporters to report pro – gay news.

They don’t care about you adults they want your sons and your daughters.

 

NOTE: Stephen Langa  gave these points to note:

• The life expectancy of a homosexual is half to that of a heterosexual, the homosexuals do drugs and have a lot of disease so they die at early age.
• The biggest hindrance to gays is the gay agenda, it is so organized and hard to break.
• If you let the homosexuals win Uganda then they shall take over the whole of Africa and that is their agenda, he gives example of Burundi where the bill on homosexuality was rejected by parliament and states that this was because of donor and human rights pressure, he therefore calls upon Ugandans to make sure the bill on homosexuality is passed when the time comes.

Recent Developments in Uganda on gay agenda

•  Gay activities have increased
  
  
• Increase in the gay pornography
  
  
• Legal personalities involved in advocating for homosexuality
  
  
• There is a lot of pressure from donor community, embassies and some international human rights organizations to legalize homosexuality.
  
  
• The Ugandan homosexuals have achieved a lot of logistics and funding, they are trained in Nairobi and South Africa.
  
  
• They are very many and they are every where in Schools, churches and high places, they recruit students.
  
  
• They are winning court case.” He gives the example of the court case won by Victor Mukasa.
