Evangelicals from the US always muck around in other countries. Evangelicals from the US were responsible for that Ugandan law awhile back as well.
That's what happens when you let crazy people take control of your government.

Correction, this is what happens when you let shitholes be independent countries.

>>8313369

Both statements are true

This whole article sounds like bullshit. Why is it the USA's job to babysit the third world again? Why should that fucking matter?

This is a myth. They might not have helped or whatever but you can't blame ugandan homophobia on random missionaries.

US foreign aid is what gives us influence over the direction public policy is going in outside nations. Obama wielded the influence from said foreign aid to influence nations to some extent to adopt greater protections for same-sex couples. By being more in line with US policy, these nations, at least in their eyes, are at a lesser risk of losing their foreign aid money. With the Trump administration, they have willingly castrated their foreign aid influence (soft power, if you will). To these developing nations, they have no more foreign aid to worry about, so they can go and pass laws discriminatory to sexual minorities without the fear of being rebuked of their aid money from the US.

tl;dr With trump, other countries don't have a reason to protect LGBT people anymore.

>>8313444
How does that even follow?

> US fucks up LGBT people in other country
> "Shouldn't've been trying to be independent, shithole!"

Holes in your logic.

>>8313499

Why is it our job to do this though? Why the hell do we need to bribe all these corrupt foreign officials and babysit all these countries to make them more like us? Who gives a shit.

Let USA take care of ourselves first.

>>8313507
Except if you read the article, we aren't fucking up anyone. Its complaining that the USA Isn't doing enough to make those countries go against their own individual cultures and conform to us. Like its our fucking job to babysit them.

> The witch hunt against Uganda's LGBTQ community isn't only political, but something more deeply embedded in the fabric of the nation, where homosexuality has been illegal since Uganda's first post-colonial Constitution was penned in 1962, laws the country inherited from Britain. More recently, the war on gay Ugandans has been fueled, in part, by American evangelicals, including Massachusetts pastor Scott Lively, who is currently being sued for inviting violence against the LGBTQ community and conspiring, with local anti-gay activists, to deprive gay Ugandans of their fundamental rights.

Don't mind me, just sharing a bit of info for those who got interested in the subject, but are too lazy to Google.

Holy shit, you're retarded.

>>8313532

Yeah and this article is pretty much total bullshit which greatly exaggerates the influence of American evangelicals. Like Uganda has never been some LGBTQ+ paradise. Those "local anti-gay activists" are a big deal and by far more meaningful.

Like Africans have brains you know. They aren't children or automatons. Idiot.

I can understand your point, at this point it's just an argument on if you want the US to take on a more imperialist/globalist or isolationist view point.
The reason it's the US's job, or, if you prefer, why the US has been exerting its soft power for decades now, is because the US is simply the only one to do the job. The only other major bloc that can come close to the same level of major influence and that cares about promoting the rights of LGBT people is the EU, and it doesn't have the same cohesion the US has (the EU being a confederal organization, after all).
Frankly, if the US doesn't wield its power in the way it has before, nobody else will, not the EU, not the UN, and definitely not any other powerful nation like China or Russia. Without US financial intervention, politicians won't have any reason to protect sexual minorities in their own countries.
Not exerting the diplomatic power of a nation is like not using the natural resources located within a nation. It'll simply go to waste.

>Without US financial intervention, politicians won't have any reason to protect sexual minorities in their own countries.

Then they'll need to find their own reason? Why is it our job? Nobody sat around influencing us?

>Not exerting the diplomatic power of a nation is like not using the natural resources located within a nation. It'll simply go to waste.
The type of influence attached to foreign aid will not go to waste.

b b u t DRUMP is good !!! pol is ALWAYS right.

Alhamdulillah for Trump. Cleanse these filthy degeneracy for once and for all!

>>8313526
Maybe because if you care about American LGBTs, you should care about other LGBTs in the world too, and things that affect them that we can influence in a positive or negative way?

If you draw such strict lines regarding how you think about other human beings based on something as silly as country-based property lines, that shows that you aren't good at thinking independently or out-of-the-box.

Shitholes are composed of retarded and crazy people, this is the reason why they are shitholes in the first place and they shouldn't be even countries, period.

Trips of truth, we need the British empire back

>>8315634
Tip of truth: most of the British Empire's former colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean that later gained independence still retain their anti-LGBT laws that were introduced by the British during the 17th and 18th centuries. For example, it is illegal for two men to have consensual sex with each other in India (Hindu) and Singapore (Chinese Buddhism). But neither of those two countries are Muslim-majority nor run by Muslims in their respective government.

It's the leftists fault for demanding too many gay "rights" (entitlements) in the first place.

If they'd made reasonable demands for equal treatment instead of special treatment then Trump and the GOP wouldn't be turning back anything and other countries that actually are anti-LGBT would only have a good example set by America whichever party is in charge.
