Liberty Goes Around and Comes Around

When I protect the liberty of others, I protect my own. But this is not a concept innate to us. We have to cultivate it. For those who follow the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth who became Jesus the Christ during the reign of the Roman Constantine, his greatest teaching hinged  on loving your neighbor as thyself. This teaching includes the whole of humanity, and when we cherry-pick who to love and not, we fool ourselves for being the followers of the Jewish man who became a god.


Afande FeneKansi on the Homosexual Bill



Discussions have raged in social networks on Uganda’s Homosexuality Bill, which I predicted the great tactician Museveni would take his time with it. He has now weighed in accordingly (Anti-gays-Bill-was-rushed---Museveni ). I don’t know what homosexuals do with themselves, but to protect my liberty, I will defend them to the end. A wiseacre wondered how I could even be a Ugandan for my stand (I Would Want 2 Believe UR  Nt Ugandans). This is a fellow who not long ago was called a “biological substance” by his fellow Ugandans. Effectively, he was less that than a human being to be done with as it pleased the “human beings.” Even to this day, in emotional heat, he could still be referred to as such. See a discussion on a public forum: (Rutabajuuka: Those were biological substances, period). Notice the finality of the heartlessness.

When Africans or any other peoples are not familiar with something, they resort to the boogey man who is bringing all these weird stuff.  That follows along the line of human history. Copernicus, for example, formulated a heliocentric model of the universe with the sun at the center rather than earth. Earlier on a Greek man had already made this suggestion.  But during the Renaissance the Church was so powerful and preached that the Earth (by extension man) was the center of the universe. Fearfully the man did not publish his thesis. When Galileo supported this thesis by evidentiary information using his telescope, the Church Roman Inquisition jailed him for life.

In my mind I conjecture that homosexuality has some biological explanation to it. It is a known fact that genes mutate in order to give variety to species. I have seen very effeminate men, who clearly were not faking it. I am sure gays are there plodding in labs disassembling the engines under the hood to prove that genes play a part in their same-sex disposition. Some have said it is not a piece of DNA per se, but its expression or epigenetic that is shaped by the fetal environment in the womb. (Epigenetic Roots-of-Homosexuality/).

Finally, live and let live, love your neighbor as thyself, and work for others liberty so you could enjoy yours. The man said: Why can’t we just get along? He was badly beaten by cops who didn’t like his blackness.
