The cults in Africa are relatively unchecked because only a few nations developed a leftist leadership who led successful political and armed struggles. The Algerian FLN, Jabhat al-Taḩrīr al-Waţanī, or Front de Libération Nationale, the Angolan Frente Nacional de Libertação de Angola and SA's African National Congress are examples. For the most part African states lack the anticlerical history of the French and later revolutions, particularly the widespread use of the guillotine educate obstinate priests and bishops.
Colonialism and Homohating.
The Brits and French 'granted' independence to many African states who remain neo-colonial as opposed to post-colonial. Scientific American defines neo-colonialism as "A policy whereby a major power uses economic and political means to perpetuate or extend its influence over underdeveloped nations or areas. Strong elements of neocolonialism persist in the economic relations of the rich and poor countries"
The net effect of neo-colonialism is the creation of states that are over- exploited, not, as they are sometimes mistakenly described, under-developed. By and large anti-GLBT laws and other European or islamist laws were imposed on African cultures by slavers and colonialists to bolster their divide and rule strategy. The goal was to change the rules and make it easier to steal land and resources and engage in slavery and promote low wages via various apartheid schemes. As Desmond Tutu noted " When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land."
In a recent Guardian article Peter Tatchell, a leader of the LGBT movement in England says "In many cases, these countries are using laws imposed by the British in colonial times. Before that, homosexuality was actually tolerated or accepted in the traditional cultures."http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/13/death-penalty-uganda-homosexuals
Two days ago Tatchell, passed along a YouTube video that lays out in the clearest way the Ugandan christers intent to murder every GLBT person they can.
It's a must see look at how mass murder begins.
The new Ugandan law is the fruit of a global assault that includes the christer right in the US led by ex-gay scum and their ringmaster Rick Warren, who used Obama to defeat prop 8 in California. Vicious pogroms are underway in neighboring Kenya and other nearby nations like Zimbabwe and in islamist nations like Iran and US occupied Iraq and Afghanistan. The Ugandan bill will almost certainly be copied. The new Ugandan laws are much more comprehensive and violent than islamist Sharia law.
Protest in London.
The pogrom spreads to Kenya.
Turn off the Olympics and watch this video as if your life depended on it. Certainly the lives of thousands of our brothers and sisters in Uganda and other counties do.

What can we do?
1. We should demand that the UN prohibit member countries from having any relations - except trade or aid in food, medical, sanitary and other humanitarian necessities - with Uganda if this bill passes.
2. We should demand that the World Court issue arrest warrants for any legislators who vote for this bill or officials who enforce it.
3. We should demand that the EU and US offer an open ended asylum, immigrant status and social services to any LGBT folks fleeing countries where christers and islamists are conducting pogroms or state sponsored mass murder campaigns against LGBT folks.
US law already permits asylum applications in these cases (http://www.lambdalegal.org/issues/immigration-asylum/ ) but unless the White House and State Department and their peers in the EU robustly organize and publicize an asylum campaign the number of victims will be higher.

I can't think of any law potentially dangerous since Hitler's Enabling Acts of 1933, particularly if other countries imitate it. This law makes DOMA and DADT seem tame in comparison. Here is Tatchell's summary:
Under the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, the crime of "serial offender" is punishable by execution. A serial offender is a person who has "previous convictions" for "homosexuality OR RELATED OFFENCES." Under the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, the crime of "serial offender" is punishable by execution.
"Related offences" in the Bill, which can result in a death sentence for serial offenders, include non-sexual acts such as:
· aiding and abetting homosexuality
· advocating same-sex relationships or LGBT rights
· having a same-sex marriage
· publicizing or funding pro-LGBT organizations
· using the internet or a mobile phone for the purpose of
homosexuality or its promotion
· being a person in authority who fails to report an offender to
the police within 24 hours
