It is a strange time indeed when Obama criticizes Uganda for punishing gays and puts forth the death penalty for gay rape of children under 18.

The ironic thing about this is that he did this during a "prayer breakfast". From what I could find on Google on Bible verses:
Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
Are Obama and the United States trying to legitimize sin around the world? This is my take on the subject, and as a Chinese I do not think it right for the US to try to exert influence on very subjective matters such as this. It is the same as if China would force the world to become atheist, which it simply does not.
