The Parliament in Uganda did pass their Oil Bill, which allows the energy minister to negotiate contracts with oil companies without supervision (can you say, "theft"?). It is a relief that Parliament decided they didn't need the "Kill the Gays" bill as a distraction. It didn't get passed before the Christmas break and Parliament won't be back until February. The anti-gay bill has dropped from the top of the agenda to the 7th position.
Meanwhile, the Speaker is in Italy. She is receiving praise from the Pope for considering the bill and to attend -- are you ready? -- a human rights conference.
The Pope mentioned gays in his World Peace Day message -- because, gays, don'tcha know, destabilize marriage and cause serious harm to peace. My, aren't we special.
