So several hundred years ago Europeans decided to spread Christianity to subsaharan Africa and now the fruits of their labor and being born by gays through out the continent. A lot of newsprint has been spent on the upcoming Ugandan “kill teh gays” bill and how we and other developed countries should cut off aid due to that. Yet it’s also worth noting that a large swath of the Middle East already executes homosexuals and that doesn’t stop us from giving them huge amounts of cash.
If pictures are worth a thousand words then this map, from World Focus, should be worth at least a few brief news articles. Yet I doubt you’ll be seeing anyone pointing out that all the outrage focused on Uganda recently could just as easily be aimed at Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan or Somalia or Pakistan – all of whom receive foreign aid.
