Ugandan tabloid publishes list of 100 'Top Homos," Calls for Their Hanging

Gawker reports "The Ugandan tabloid Rolling Stone (no relation to Jann Wenner) has outed one hundred gay (or presumed gay) Ugandans, inciting violence against several and sending many more into hiding. The rag's editor said the list was "in the public's interest."

"In the days since it was published, at least four gay Ugandans on the list have been attacked and many others are in hiding, according to rights activist Julian Onziema. One person named in the story had stones thrown at his house by neighbors."

Retired Ugandan Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo is on the list. Please pray for Bishop Christopher, who has been a guest of Oasis many times as we raised support for his work with Integrity Uganda.
