They are claiming it's to build latrines etc., because they don't want to tell the truth or they wouldn't get the funding. They will get into these villages and 'rat out' the gays to the Uganda Authorities with taxpayers money...........
An evangelical organization that describes homosexuality as a “perversion” and a “sin” is receiving funding from the Government of Canada for its work in Uganda, where homosexual people face severe persecution.
Until Tuesday, the organization’s website carried a list of “sexual sins”deemed to be “perversion.” The list includes: “Turning from the true and/or proper purpose of sexual intercourse; misusing or abusing it, such as in pedophilia, homosexuality and lesbianism, sadism, masochism, transvestism, and bestiality.”
Lower down the page, the group asks sinners to “repent.”
“God cares too much for you (and all of His children) to leave such tampering and spiritual abuse unpunished,” according to the group’s website.
Just hours after the group was contacted to ask a spokesperson about the site, the page in question disappeared from public view. The organization is being funded by the Canadian International Development Agency. Just a few days ago, the Quebec government announced its desire to create its own parallel agency because it no longer supports CIDA’s policy choices.
When the minister responsible for CIDA, Julian Fantino, was made aware of the situation on Wednesday, both he and a CIDA spokeswoman said funding is doled out“on merit.”
But once the Crossroads story became public Sunday, the minister sent out a comment on Twitter. “While original content (of the Crossroads’ website page) is down, I have asked to review this organization before further payments are made,” he wrote.
This particular funding choice may also conflict with the federal government’s own statements.
Last October, Mr. Baird denounced abuses against homosexual people and specifically singled out Uganda in a speech at an international conference in Quebec City. “We will speak out on the issues that matter to Canadians – whether it is the role and treatment of women around the world, or the persecution of gays,” Mr. Baird told the Inter-Parliamentary Union conference. “Canada will speak out.”
In that speech, Mr. Baird shared the story of a Ugandan gay-rights advocate who was bludgeoned to death in his own home.
That speech provoked an angry reaction from the head of the Ugandan delegation, Rebecca Kadaga, who accused Mr. Baird of “arrogance” and “ignorance”and demanded an apology.
Crossroads defends its position on homosexuality as grounded in scripture.
