Playing the Musevenian Footsies
Put yourself into the dictator's head. You can arouse the public into a frenzy of apoplectic anger on an issue that is least of Uganda's myriad problems---thanks to some weird pastors' obsession with the evils of homosexuality who have managed to prepare a hapless population. It seems a very enticing meal. Not unlike Pontius Pilate, in your heart of hearts, you know that a great wrong was being committed, but you also want to please the Jewish establishment in order to save the Roman Empire---in your case, your thrown. So, you sign the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into an Act of Parliament.
Now your sponsors are pulling the rug under you by withdrawing their largesse which had plugged holes in your budget and allowing you to spend lavishly on wars and war machines. What is wrong with these people? Don't they know that you are a master tactician? You know how to cooperate and curry favor with in a sly devious way. That has been your history, a carryover from a less than optimal beginnings in life. Now, you are in re-explanation mode. Let underlings do it: You people have misunderstood our new law. In fact, we like homosexuals just like we like Evangelicals--they have rights and are free! No one will ever hear this from you however before 2016.
Gay Laws was Misunderstood by the West

Freedom, Equality, Fairness, Progress and Happiness are some of the most important existential states ever recognized by humankind. The Liberal Manifesto seeks, supports and encourages all efforts of wo/mankind to those ends. It will oppose and fight against forces that work against these pentathlon principles.
