push for rights where they don't exist (3rd world shitholes)

This is Zionist cultural imperialism.

How is it Zionist or imperialistic? The people there should fight for whatever rights they wish to have, especially when they're being actively persecuted and can be executed, mutilated, or tossed into prison over their sexuality. If you mistook that line of mine as a suggestion for the US and other Western countries to dictate social policy by economic or military pressure, NO. I'm rewording it.

This is rarely the case, though. Far more often it's a case of media misrepresentation. Like with the "Kill the Gays" bill in Uganda, which permits execution as a punishment strictly in the case of forcible/drug rape of a same-sex child under the age of 14 (where such activity was already punishable by execution for heterosexuals).

The Ugandans sure have a knack for awfully misleading bill titles. It's also damning of their legislature and overall society that a bill was named Kill the Gays over Kill the Rapists, as if executing homosexuals has greater moral credence or popularity than, you know, preventing the rape of minors. (edit note: bill isn't named Kill the Gays. Thank shitlib media for the misrepresentation)

"Kill the Gays" is the exonym invented by the Jewish media, intended to activate the Holocaust narrative programming.

I did some quick research and you're correct. Kill the Gays was never used by the Ugandans, but by Western media. The bill is still called Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014. While not as bloodthirsty, it sends a resoundingly literal anti-homosexual message, and I wouldn't fault people there for protesting against that language regardless of the bill's actual intent. That's for them to decide, however, and it might not be worth the cost of incurring actual persecution by raising a fuss.
