Ugandan Paper Outs More Than 50

A newspaper in Uganda, a country with hostile views against homosexuality, listed dozens of gay individuals, including their names, occupations, physical descriptions, HIV status, and partners. The report, published in The Red Pepper on Sunday, names ordinary people like bartenders and bankers.

"This is a killer dossier," the report reads. "A heat-pounding and sensational masterpiece that largely exposes Uganda's shameless men and unabashed women that have deliberately exported the western evils to our dear and sacred society. They have been influential in spreading the gay and lesbian vices in schools to kill the morals of our lovely kids!!"

The writer then goes on to describe the list as so "nervebreaking" that those with hypertension may not want to read it, according to a scanned page of the article acquired by BoxTurtleBulletin.com.

"Short and big with dreadlocks, he is a flamboyant lad and one of the most talented guys in the music industry," one description reads.

"He travels a lot, especially to the U.S. on business trips. This homo star resides in Ntinda," reads another description.

The list ends with a teaser to next week's list of "more shocking things you didn't know about Homos."

Ugandan police have been given greater authority in investigating gays and punishing them in recent months. Ethics and integrity minister James Buturo expressed concern in October 2008 that the prevalence of homosexuality would diminish the population. "Who is going to occupy Uganda 20 years from now if we all become homosexuals? We know that homosexuals don't produce."
