A genuinely disturbing story out of Uganda, evidently there is significant pressure among the legislation in that country to go beyond making Homosexuality merely punishable by life imprisonment, and actually make it a crime punishable by death. This on its own is disturbing, but where it gets really twisted is the connection to a semi-secret society in America known as "The Family", which is essentially a Christian sect dedicated to keeping themselves in power and spreading their agenda throughout the world.
How this relates to the subjects in the class is that sometimes, some politicians have no aims beyond keeping themselves in office, and have no intention of representing the people they are elected to represent.
Also, it shows that often there are deep, deep connections among politicians that can have further reaching influence than merely domestic issues.
