Anti-gay hate monger Scott Lively delivers his ‘nuclear bomb’
(video: BoxTurtleBulletin at YouTube)
Jim Burroway, of Box Turtle Bulletin, first alerted the world to the worsening situation for gay and lesbian Ugandans on 24 February 2009. What has since ensued is now relatively well-known: Three American anti-gay activists — associated with the radical religious right and its so-called ex-gay conversion programs — traveled to the African nation, stirred up hatred against the country’s gay and lesbian citizens, and a bill, now before Parliament, was subsequently drafted that not only criminalized homosexuality, it provided the death penalty under certain circumstances including being HIV-positive.
Burroway has posted three videos of one of the anti-gay Americans, Scott Lively, in action at the anti-gay conference in Kampala, Uganda last March.
A holocaust revisionist, author of a thoroughly-debunked pseudo-history book that alleges the involvement of “macho” gays in the rise of the Third Reich and the Holocaust, and leader of an organization classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “hate group,” Scott Lively bragged two weeks after the conference in Kampala that he had delivered a “nuclear bomb against the gay agenda in Uganda.”
On 4 January 2010, Scott Lively appeared on Alan Colmes’ Liberaland radio program, claimed he doesn’t support capital punishment for gay and lesbian Ugandans, but called the Ugandan exterminate-the-gays bill “a step in the right direction.”
