Getting on the gay life boat?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday sounded like the Zampolit<\/em> for Africa when he likened new anti-gay legislation in Uganda that imposes harsh penalties for homosexuality to anti-Semitic laws in Nazi Germany or apartheid South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Zampolit<\/em> is the Communist political commissar charged with taking “active measures” to ensure thought control. The politruk <\/em>(Russian term)\u00a0committed to the\u00a0civilian control of the military,\u00a0appeared during the\u00a0October Revolution. Political commissars were part of the the Red Army that remained in the Soviet Army.<\/p>\n

The United States spends millions on military training in Uganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could change the focus of this legislation to black or Jewish and you could be in 1930s Germany or you could be in 1950s-1960s apartheid South Africa,\u201d Kerry told a group of reporters. \u201cIt was wrong there egregiously in both places and it is wrong here,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Strangely, Kerry forgot to mention that racial segregation in the US, lasted well beyond the 1960’s to the 1970’s.<\/p>\n

Most Americans believe segregation leads to negative outcomes across American communities with higher rates of violent crimes, and lower levels of wellbeing. Across American communities, some argue, segregation is a key determinant of inequality.<\/p>\n

Bankrupt black cities in the US like Detroit have borne this out. Clearly racial mixing and desegregation have thus been promoted to disguise black crime rates in the country.<\/p>\n

The American experiment in South Africa is a complete disaster, however. Crime rates have soared since the ANC took over in 1994 with the assistance of Britain and the US.<\/p>\n

Kerry said the legislation signed by President Yoweri Museveni on Monday was \u201catrocious\u201d and expressed concern at mounting discrimination against gays in 78 countries around the world.<\/p>\n

Discrimination against gays dim in comparison to child rape and farm murders in South Africa, despite efforts by certain foreign-funded NGO’s and the SAPS to camouflage the scourges. The American Secretary of State either is not aware of this, or does not care.<\/p>\n

Homosexuality is a taboo in almost all African countries and illegal in 37, including in Uganda where it has been criminalized since British colonial rule by popular demand.<\/p>\n

Yet Kerry denied that it was an “African problem”. \u201cThis anti-gay movement is obviously bubbling up in various places around the world; it is not just an African problem, it\u2019s a global problem, and we are wrestling with it and we are going to as we go forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The term “going foward” is a much used expression of the\u00a0Zampolit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Uganda launched a public awareness campaign earlier that led to a sharp reduction in the AIDS rate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is happening in Uganda is atrocious and it presents all of us with an enormous challenge because LGBT rights are human rights and the signing of this anti-homosexuality law is flat out morally wrong,\u201d Kerry said.<\/p>\n

The State Department\u2019s annual global human rights report will highlight the issue when it is released on Thursday and Kerry said a gathering of U.S. ambassadors in Washington would discuss ways to deal with rising prejudice against homosexuals.<\/p>\n

The gay theme is very popular amongst Anglo-American elites.\u00a0A former French prime minister Edith Cresson suggested that one in four British men may be gay.<\/p>\n

“It’s a question of education, and I consider it something of a weakness,” Cresson said at the time.<\/p>\n

She passed similarly harsh judgments on American and German men.<\/p>\n
