At least four gay men have been attacked in Uganda after a newspaper ran a front-page story listing 100 'top' homosexuals with a banner reading 'Hang Them'. The paper also printed the men's photos and addresses alongside their names.
Since the article was published the four men have had stones thrown at their houses, beaten, and many others have gone into hiding for their own safety.
The article, published on October 9 in a Ugandan newspaper called Rolling Stone also claimed that an unknown but deadly disease was attacking homosexuals in Uganda.
In addition, the piece said that homosexuals will recruit one million children in the next two years by raiding schools - a common smear used in Uganda.
The paper's managing editor, Giles Muhame, justified the article, and said: '(It was) in the public interest.

The world is going ga-ga with a bizarre homosexual madness, which I regard as a sign of psycho-spiritual disorder in humans. Man to man, and woman to woman. This is an aberrant anomaly that signifies the beginning of the last days of mankind. We need to pray to the Lord for forgiveness and redemption from satanic attack on the souls of men. God helps us all. AMEN.
There is no justification for such actions and endangering people's life because of their lifestyle. Gay or non-gay are still children of God. Homosexuality is a sin as much as corruption and stealing.
@Kay, are u joking? A newspaper is publicly displaying human beings to be HUNG TO DEATH and you are saying homosexuality is a sign of endtime. Kai, naija pple won't kill me in this life. What do u know is "psycho-spiritual"? Homosexuality has existed for the longest time. U think all these naija men u see marrying are straight? Most only do it to avoid disgrace while others do it to protect their inheritance. A public newspaper is telling people to hang other human beings and u feel homosexuality is the biggest problem we have. God help you first biko, then he can move to the rest of the world
Anon 3:28 Than you. I can't understand why people like Kay 11:02 pick and choose which parts of the bible they get all twisted in knots about.
It unprofessional on the part of the newspaper to have published their pictures and addresses.

I am not justifying their cruel treatment, neither am I justifying homosexuality. Do you like men having anal sex with themselves? Pls do not insult me,I dont know what you mean by "God help me first". this is not a forum for insults or personal attacks, I have not said anything to insult you at all, and I never will. I have only aired my opinion.
Like Surprise said, I agree that it is totally unprofessional and outright stupid for a newspaper's reporters to publish their addresses, but at the same time, the bible condemns homosexuality
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
I don't look down on them, but I still believe that sodomy is a psychological anomaly.Homosexuals can be rehabilited and re-orientated.
Pls I apologise if I have offended anyone, but I don't expect erratic insults from any quarters. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion without insulting his fellow man.
i beggy shebi it's with themselves... biko as long as they keep it all to themselves, and the PDA to zero, me na money i dey find oo. but we africans sef, we be babarians small oo, abi which kain tin be dat? Hang ko, hang ni! Mschew!
@Kay, What is wrong with men loving themselves? Stop making it sound dirty. Sex is not dirty
..Who care..homosexuals should go rot in hell..!!! ooppssss..!!! If u dig their way..then go suck ur father's pipe..!!!
In addition, the piece said that homosexuals will recruit one million children in the next two years by raiding schools
Some folks are just fucking retarded. The straights might as well launch their own campaign and start recruiting gays too. Mschew
Just because you are disgusted by the whole gay thing doesn't mean you have to go all out to endanger people's lives.
I TIRE FOR THIS AFRICA SEF! DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE ARE BARBARIC? Aaaargh!
@KAY, if the Bible considers homosexuality a sin , why are some people born gay?.
In addition, everyone born into this world is a sinner and no sin is greater than the other. Fornication, (which is practiced by most Nigerians) is a sin. Lying, stealing , envy, etc etc are all sins. And these are things practiced routinely in our society. I am a homosexual, who has been ridiculed, disowned by his parents and friends but I know I have my God who protects and supports me.
Currently in America, there is a high amount of suicide rates amongst gay teenagers who try to comfort society around them but to no avail.
You have no right to judge me because of my sexual orientation, gender or race. Only our Almighty Lord in heaven shall judge me on judgment day.
Thank you.
anoymous 7:38, go and suck your mommy's clit now, since you think gay people are also incestuous.
@Kay, Gay men are not male prostitutes and that has nothing to do with this argument. The only specific place homosexuality is directly addressed in the bible is in Leviticus where it says "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them" (Leviticus 20:13).
There's a big problem with quoting Leviticus, however. The problem is that Christians are no longer under the Moses Law. This is from the Apostle Paul. It is not something made up, manufactured or fabricated. It is from God's Word. The Apostle Paul wrote it in Galatians.
"All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law'" (Galatians 3:10).
If we rely on following the Law (the Torah, the first five books of the Bible) we are under a curse. That quote is from the Law itself, Deuteronomy 27:26.
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us" (Galatians 3:13).
It was Jesus' death on the cross that rescued us from the curse of the Law. If we insist on preserving the Law, we negate the cross of Christ, Christ's death on the cross.
Also, in the same Leviticus, Christians are banned from eating seafood, cutting their hair, wearing trousers etc.
Why don't you worry about your own soul before deciding to take matters into your own hand. God never gave any human being the right to kill another. Isn't it the bible in John 8 verse 7 that says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"?
My Christian people, do not be stone throwers o. God will not forgive you if you decide that this earth is too small for you to share with another because of his sexual preference.
The society we live in has made us victims of such hateful thoughts about other human beings. Instead of us to focus on educating our children about safe sex and how to properly guard themselves from victimizers, we spend all our time witch-hunting people. My sister Kay, I'm guessing you are a woman. Would you want to marry a gay man? A man that is not in any way physically attracted to your beauty and ample assets. Be real naa. Let them handle themselves, there isn't a shortage of straight brothers abi? We should be arguing against the morally and spiritually unjust nature of that newspaper publication telling people to hang others people, and not why homosexuality is a sin. The world is for everyone. It's things like this that are making those crazy oyinbo children commit suicide. May we never drive our own kids to such pain in Jesus name.
The sad this is that most of them have known since they could think, that they were gay. Don't stone them just because you don't understand.

THIS IS TAKING IT TO THE EXTREME O. THEY NEED PRAYERS INSTEAD OF PERSECUTION, GOD CAN DELIVER THEM.
what do we have here Linda? some gay activist on your blog trying to explain the reason why he chose to fuck men and not women? lol, WOW!
as for these journalists.........their paper won't still sell. so they should go get their heads doing some more serious stuff than reporting on crap
Killing a fellow human being is also a sin! Two wrongs can't make a right...a case of the blind leading the blind. They should rather carry out an awareness & enlightenment programs emphasizing the moral & spiritual wrong in engaging in such acts.SO THAT MANY YOUNG BOYS DON'T GET INITIATED INTO IT THROUGH ANY ENTICEMENT....they need help rather than death.
@skankmypeaceof mind
I am gay, but I have never been sexually active in my life and I do not intend to. So, lets leave it at that.
N.B. I was a casual reader of your blog but I guess I may not be welcomed to continue reading your blog. You all have a blessed day.
Exodus 21:20-21 If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.
from the same leviticus, you anti-gay people like to quote, just one sample
11:10 But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,
(una people who like your shrimp and dried crayfish - ABOMINATION)
so i'm confused, which one am i supposed to follow?
Homeopathic medicine is definitely a all-natural form of therapeutic!
