Scott Lively is demanding an apology. After Uganda’s constitutional court struck down on procedural grounds the country’s notorious anti-homosexuality law, which was inspired in part by Lively’s activism, the Massachusetts-based Religious Right leader is now trying to run away from his past claims that he helped shape the law.
“Now that the Ugandan government has shown itself capable of self-governance, I’m waiting for calls of apology from media outlets around the world who for years have insinuated (or outright insisted) that the Ugandans were merely my puppets in a nefarious scheme to persecute homosexuals there,” he writes today in BarbWire.
In fact, Lively believes that the anti-gay activist crowd, and not the gay community, is the real victim of persecution today, calling their supposed victim status “simply a disgusting modern example of the same ‘blood libel’ used against the Jews by the Nazis.”
It’s no surprise to see Lively draw such an analogy, since he believes that the Holocaust was actually a gay plot to take out vengeance on the Jews.
Friday, a Ugandan court struck down the controversial Anti-Homosexuality Law on the grounds there wasn’t a legal quorum of legislators present at the time of passage.
Now that the Ugandan government has shown itself capable of self-governance, I’m waiting for calls of apology from media outlets around the world who for years have insinuated (or outright insisted) that the Ugandans were merely my puppets in a nefarious scheme to persecute homosexuals there. That lie is also, of course, the premise of the “Crimes Against Humanity” lawsuit filed against me here in U.S. Federal Court by Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) and their Marxist New York attorneys of the ironically named Center for Constitutional Rights.

The maliciously deceitful attempt by the global “gay” movement and its media allies to paint Uganda as a pariah state filled with hateful bigots (as in the propaganda film “God Loves Uganda”), is simply a disgusting modern example of the same “blood libel” used against the Jews by the Nazis.
