The thing you're missing here Trollheart, is that you're applying western democratic values to a society that has no real concept of what they are. Democracy is a delicate practice to get right and its never going to happen without education and can take generations anyway.

If attitudes to gays in for example Eastern European countries is pretty grim, I'd hardly expect a country like Uganda to value individual liberties as we see them.

I might sound all just matter of fact here , but that's the way the world is.
