[t]http://imgkk.com/i/rs1h.jpg[/t] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-25506754[/url] [quote]UK business tycoon Richard Branson has called on companies and tourists to boycott Uganda after its parliament approved a bill to toughen the punishment for homosexual acts. It was against his conscience to support a country which carried out a "dreadful witch hunt against the gay community", he said on his website. The bill proposes a life sentence for certain homosexual acts.[/quote] [url]http://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/let-people-love-whoever-they-want[/url] [quote]I have been courted by various people and government officials to do business in Uganda. I was seriously considering it. However, the dreadful witch hunt against the gay community and lifetime sentences means it would be against my conscience to support this country. I would urge other companies worldwide to follow suit. Uganda must reconsider or find it being ostracised by companies and tourists worldwide.[/quote]
Boycotting Uganda...hrmm....how do we do that again? Don't they have to have something on export to boycott in the first place?

[QUOTE=Lizzrd;43295711]Boycotts apply to both imports and exports.[/QUOTE] I don't really have any control on what gets exported to Uganda, sorry I'm afraid I'm just not important enough to make a decision like that. So sorry.
[quote]The bill proposes a life sentence for certain homosexual acts.[/quote] It's weird to imagine a bill like this being made. I just think of a bunch of old dudes in sitting in a circle googling "gay stuff" and being like "EWW, that's DEFINITELY a life sentence" when determining the punishments for specific [I]homosexual acts[/I].

Branson seems like a really good guy
I'm starting to think the stop Kony packages I bought didn't do anything and just went to the government
Why get pissed at Uganda if they aren't the only ones who do this.
