Exporting religious homophobia to Uganda on this week's "VICE".

[mountain grammy]

1. The very funny play "Book of Mormon"

follows Mormon missionaries in Uganda. While the play is hysterical, what Christian missionaries have done to Africa isn't. Of course, many were motivated by service and did good things for people of Africa, but, like most religions, they didn't respect the beliefs of the native people. To be sure, some ancient beliefs are destructive and education usually corrects that, but the missionaries often replace bad old traditions with bad new traditions.
"The Family" by Jeff Sharlet, devotes a chapter to Uganda and how the good Christians have created an atmosphere of fear and hate towards LGBT people.
