They are not travel videos, nor safari videos, but the sickest anti-gay rally videos you will see in the modern world.
If the Ugandans weren't going after LGBT folks, they would be going after albinos, or Indians ("the Jews of East Africa"), or Muslims. Ultimately, someone is responsible for why Uganda is messed up. Instead of exercising the powers of critical thinking, the Ugandan government would resort to Dark Age witchhunts and the mass murder of innocent human beings.
Blame the British and German colonizers of this land, blame Christian missionaries, blame American AIDS educators who were sorely uneducated about the true needs of Ugandans, and last but not least for fundies like Rick Warren for pumping money into Christian missions going to Africa, for what we have now.
At the same time, do not use what is happening in Uganda as a smokescreen to make LGBT civil rights in the United States look so much better. Use it as a tool to show people that the same thing could happen here in the United States should the same right wing and Christian fundamentalists who pumped money into Uganda pump money into anti-LGBT legislation and perpetual resistance here in the United States.
