Ugandan Homophobe Shocks Supporters with Gay Porn
January 25, 2010 | 6 Comments
Gay news outlets and the blogosphere are reporting an odd story involving virulently homophobic Ugandan pastor Martin Ssepmpa. His country’s president and other ministers have come under harsh criticism for the proposed 2009 Anti-Homosexuality Bill that calls for death or life imprisonment for those men and women suspected of being homosexual. Various media reports cite a Ugandan Daily Monitor story that notes Mr. Ssempa “showed a press conference graphic gay porn last week in an effort to argue why the country’s anti-homosexuality bill is necessary,” reports Pink News. The presentation abruptly ended when attendees, apparently in shock, abandoned the press conference. As yet no details have been released about the provenance of the images. “[M]idway through his presentation, saved on a computer, most of his audience walked out, some visibly disturbed, leaving him to wonder if he had done anything wrong. The cleric seemed genuinely rattled,” the Monitor reports. “One man, who was part of a group of American students invited to the press conference… was seen crying, his colleagues consoling him as the group left. In the immediate aftermath of the presentation, which ended prematurely, Pastor Ssempa said he did not regret his actions.”

Gay sex caused a grown Christian man cry? HA.
This story actually proves just how dangerous organized religion can be. Ah, religious nutjobs. Aren’t they grand! xH
The real question is what clip did he show them that was so disturbing and tear-inducing? I want to see it!
You can bet it was hardcore bondage/fisting/watersports stuff. No way did he show them images of men “making love”. I can’t imagine anyone crying over a JetSet scene but I imagine alot of people would be shocked by those extreme videos that cater to a NICHE in the gay porn market.
It’s chilling to think that in the 21st century at least five countries including Mauritania, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iran substitute the death penalty for being gay in place of imprisonment.That Uganda is proposing the same law comes as no surprise.This is after all the country which produced Idi Amin Dada, a man whose political rule of Uganda throughout the 1970s was characterised by human rights abuses, political repression, ethnic persecution, extra-judicial killings, nepotism, corruption and gross economic mis-management.He was a Polygamist to boot and it was estimated by Human Rights that his regime was responsible
for the deaths of between 100,000 to 500,000
people.The report in ‘Pink News’ exposes the
incredible naiveté or brainwashing that exists
amongst many of the general public in Uganda today.One woman commented that her (‘re-habilitated’) husband is no longer gay because she subsequently had a baby by him! I think that all those of us who live in more enlightened societies should count our blessings, because although every country has their own fanatics and gay people still have their individual struggles on a day-to-day basis they are as nothing compared to those who have to live by a doctrine that has its roots in the dark ages and which will literally (because of their sexual orientation) be applied on ‘pain of death’ if this bill goes through.
why are we shocked it was from Martin Ssepmpa’s personal porn collection! he has jacked off to it so many times that explains why HE WAS not shocked!
I think the game is up the Rev is a closet homo!
