As you may or may not know, Current TV is a channel on your teevee if you live in the U.S., and it’s better than all the other channels. It’s responsible for That’s Gay, which you probably love, and Target: Women with Sarah Haskins, which isn’t on anymore, but which you probably also loved at the time.
Current’s Vanguard series, “a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance,” recently sent correspondent Mariana van Zeller to Uganda to investigate their rapidly growing anti-gay movement:
Correspondent Mariana van Zeller travels to Uganda, where many question whether the growing influence of American religious groups has led to a movement to make homosexuality a crime punishable by death. As an anti-gay movement spreads across the continent, gay Africans and their families face an increasingly uncertain future of isolation, imprisonment or even execution.
Here’s a brief clip from one of the doc’s most shocking scenes, when Pastor Martin Ssempa hosts a press conference to show graphic gay porn to a room of international journalists. The clip is called “Eat Da Poo Poo,” and you can imagine this will shock your socks off:
Here’s the complete documentary. It’s about 45 minutes long, and you really really really must see it.
It’s really good, helped me understand what was really going on. And I actually saw one of the Christian Leaders I interned for back when I was crazy christian, preaching in the documentary. Thank the gays for saving me from that craziness.
I saw this about two months ago, and it is amazing but also thoroughly depressing. At least NOM and Focus on the Family and the people from those organizations stick to a fairly civil discourse — these people don’t even pretend. Their hatred is open, unabashed, and completely revolting.
But still, totally worth watching, plus Mariana van Zeller is quite a slice of hot journo eye-candy. Mmm.
Brian Safi used that first clip in a mini “That’s Gay” segment, and said, “So thank you, anti-gay activists, for giving us a good laugh at our own expense.”
