Latitude News Podcast #1 - Uganda, U.S. Exporting Anti-Gay Pressure
From: Latitude News
Length: 16:57
As American evangelicals have lost battles against the gay rights movement in the U.S., some have taken the fight to countries that are friendlier to their agenda. Few countries have been more welcoming than Uganda, and few Americans have been more vocal than Scott Lively. This story traces Lively’s connection to Uganda's anti-gay movement, and how that movement is tearing the American evangelical community in half.
