When I was taking a couple of anthropology courses in college my professor tried really hard to instill the idea of staying away from ethnocentric viewpoints. I honestly don't know if this applies in this case, I don't know enough about Uganda's culture to say one way or the other, but this has definitely been exacerbated by western religious influence, so I guess it kind of makes it fair game. It could certainly be raised as a point to cut off funding from other nations, but it does bug me that people who rely on it won't be able to get it because of something they have no control over. At the end of the day I think f Stone Cold Steve Austin can say this:
Quote:
I don't give a shit if two guys, two gals, guy-gal, whatever it is, I believe that any human being in America, or any human being in the goddamn world, that wants to be married, and if it's same-sex, more power to 'em.
What also chaps my ass, some of these churches, have the high horse that they get on and say 'we as a church do not believe in that.' Which one of these motherfuckers talked to God, and God said that same-sex marriage was a no-can-do?
OK, so two cats can't get married if they want to get married, but then a guy can go murder 14 people, molest five kids, then go to fucking prison, and accept God and He's going to let him into heaven? After the fact that he did all that shit? See that's all horseshit to me, that don't jive with me.

Then I think most arguments against are just grasping for straws.
