Let me begin by saying that this in no way refers to authentic Christians, those that believe in peace, coexistence, and love. They follow the real, historical Jesus. Supply-side Jesus’ followers are the extreme Republican religious right. His gospel is one of hate, bigotry, and greed. They needed to create him to justify their own. Because of them, a gay rights activist in Uganda has been murdered.
Kampala – An unknown assailant has beaten to death a leading Ugandan gay rights activist whose identity was revealed in a tabloid that called for homosexuals to be killed, Human Rights Watch said Thursday.
Witnesses cited by the rights group said the assailant forced his way into the home of David Kato near capital Kampala on Wednesday and hit him twice in the head. Kato died on the way to hospital.
‘David Kato’s death is a tragic loss to the human rights community,’ said Maria Burnett, senior Africa researcher at HRW.
Kato was one of several activists who sued Uganda’s Rolling Stone, which in October published photographs and personal details of homosexuals alongside a headline proclaiming: ‘Hang Them: They are after our kids!!‘… [emphasis added]

Now what does this have to do with Supply-side Jesus and the US Theocons? The family, owners of C Street, the organization that houses mostly Republican extremists in return for influence and helps them hide their own scandals are the people behind the “kill the gays” movement in Uganda. Here’s an article from last November.
The Christian mafia is advocating the death penalty for homosexuals in Uganda. The Family at C Street, aka the Christian mafia, is backing proposed anti-gay legislation in Uganda that will sentence homosexuals to death.
The Family at C Street is actively supporting the Ugandan leaders who are championing this draconian legislation, legislation that would institute the death penalty for homosexuality.
C Street has been a Christian fundamentalist frat house for US congressman and senators. The house, sometimes referred to as the "C Street Complex", is home base for the Family.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, and David Bahati, a key Ugandan lawmaker, are both active members of the Family, and the major force behind the legislation. Indeed, they represent the Family in Uganda. Bahati organizes the Family’s Ugandan National Prayer Breakfast and oversees an African student leadership program designed to create future leaders for Africa, into which the Family has poured millions of dollars.
The Family is a secretive international Christian cult that preaches a doctrine known as the "Seven Mountains Mandate" in which believers seek to gain world control, by gaining influence over seven key sectors of society: religion, government, media, education, arts and entertainment, family, and business. The group is quite sexist, believing in a strong patriarchy, and obviously radical in their homophobia. Members take an oath and are sworn to secrecy… [emphasis added]

The hatred stirred up against Ugandan gay men, financed by US pseudo-Christians, is why this good man was murdered, proving that in Uganda, just like in America, words have consequences. US Republicans welcome the family’s participation in their party.
