What really happens when you try to outlaw homosexuality?

The Family Life Network is trying to export homophobia to Africa—Uganda, in particular, right now. I don’t understand why this is an important issue, nor why they feel like they have to foment hatred overseas, but that’s what they are doing.

Obviously, when homosexuality or sodomy are illegal, then people who are homosexual must hide it if they want to have a relationship and not be thrown in jail.

How do people hide such things? What kinds of tricks do they use? Were men able to have gay relationships to the same extent that women did? Was there anywhere that one could feel safe?

Is there anything that can be done to support gay Ugandans? Should we even care? Why is the FLN doing this?
