Box Turtle Bulletin's Video of Scott Lively in Uganda

  
This is an important video to watch not in that "feel good" kind of way, but in a "I had to see it to believe it" sort of way. It demonstrates exactly what the LGBTQ community is and has been up against for centuries. Sir Ian McKellen said it best, "I increasingly see organized religion as actually my enemy. They treat me as their enemy. Not all Christians, of course. Not all Jews, not all Muslims. But the leaders. . . . Why should I take the judgment of a declared celibate about my sexual needs? He's basing his judgment on laws that would fit life in the Bronze Age. So if I'm lost to God, organized religion is to blame." (From a November 2009 interview in the LA Times.)
