To what extent are US based religious groups responsible for the Death Penalty as punishment for the crime of being Homosexual in Uganda?

US based religious groups (including Exodus International) have been pushing their religion’s zero tolerance of homosexuality through conferences, speeches and revivals in Uganda. Some were there, working for their cause as little as 3 months ago. Now a bill is pending, making being homosexual in Uganda a crime, punishable by hanging. Needless to say, the religious groups are back pedaling away from the legislation in an effort to save their reputations. How much responsibility do they hold? How much blood is on their hands? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/04/world/africa/04uganda.html?nutty=xians
