The head of Pasikali Kashusbe, a Gay activist in Uganda, has been found. Pasikali and his partner Abbey are youth workers with Integrity Uganda charged with the responsibility of mobilising young LGBT people in activities which build community capacity to face up to the challenge of homophobia, especially in the area of attitude change and care through drama and sports activities. According to the police, a mutilated torso which was earlier in the week discovered in Kabuuma Zone, about half a kilometre away from Kiggundu’s farm was probably Pasikali’s The torso was described as belonging to a young man and had no genitals.
Pasikali went missing over three and half weeks ago when the country was celebrating Uganda Martyrs Day. All efforts by his partner Abbey and other family members to find him had been fruitless.
While the motive for this slaying hasn't been announced by the Uganda police yet, it should be again pointed out that American evangelists have spent the last few years fostering hatred and violence against LGBT people in Uganda. Here is the fruits of their labor..The three American evangelists who instigated the anti-gay bill — Scott Lively, Caleb Lee Brundidge and Don Schmierer from Exodus International, as well as a number of conservative senators including Sen. James Inhofe(OK), Sen. Sam Brownback (KS), Sen. Jim DeMint (SC), Sen. Chuck Grassley (IA), Sen. John Thune (SD), Sen. Joe Pitts (PA), Sen. Bill Nelson (FL), Sen. Mark Pryor (AR), Rep. Bart Stupak (MI) have this man's blood on their hands. Call them and shame them for their hatred that led to this horrific murder.
This is what comes of hate speech. This is what is a result of long and persistent influencing of hatred towards a people. The hate rhetoric, disguised as evangelism and concern for the spiritual welfare of the people in Uganda, is the key factor in this and similar crimes. What will it take for these politicians and self-righteous preachers of bigotry to see that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots from their hateful views of the LGBT people to the murder of LGBT people.
Each of these criminals need to be emailed and called and shamed and told how they have the blood of Pasikali Kushushbe on their hands. And they have no place as spiritual or social or political leaders. If they can't control their hatred, why are they in places to lead people?
