You may have heard the BBC, the AP and even Huffington Post report that the kill-the-gays part of the anti-gay bill currently before the Ugandan Parliament — a bill backed and funded and influenced (if not outright written) by deep-pocketed American Christian antigay activists — was removed from that bill.
