The whole purpose of this thread was not to show a concern for the gay Ugandans, but rather to impose a red herring to draw out those who hate religion (Christianity for certain) and those who may support such hideous laws.

No it wasn't (I should know). It was to show concern for gay Ugandans, and hopefully to draw enlightened Christians to oppose the vile machinations of their supposed co- religionists. What it did, sadly, was to expose the raw nerve and drive some people into denial.

As I pointed out earlier, thinking Christians have more in common with atheists than with certain varieties of fundamentalists.
