“Shh… We don’t want those men who are singing show tunes to know we’re here.”

Take a look at this press release straight out of Uganda:

Family Life Network and other stakeholders in Uganda have organized a three-day seminar to provide what they termed as reliable and up to date information so that people can know how to protect themselves, their children, families [sic] from homosexuality.

What kind of protective “how to keep your kids away from the evil gay agenda” measures do you think the Family Life Network will advocate at this seminar? I hope parents are encouraged to take a page from Jodie Foster’s book and build a panic room. The joke would go right over their heads, of course, but you’d have to assume that happens with some regularity when you’re dealing with people who feel compelled to defend themselves against homosexuality. Which reminds me: I saw an obscure Bela Lugosi movie on TCM last October — they played it in the middle of the night, after yet another screening of White Zombie — that suggested garlic will do the trick.
