Vehemently Anti-Gay American Evangelical Scott Lively Suggests Uganda Gay Rights Activist Killed By Lover

Scott Lively, the abhorrent, coward who masquerades as a Christian, has released a bizarre statement regarding the killing of Ugandan gay rights activist David Kato, reports the Boston Globe. The Massachusetts-based Lively is credited with creating the current climate of anti-gay hate in Africa, having taken a tour of the nation and led a number of anti-gay initiatives, including influencing the crafting of the odious proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009 . While most assume that the Kato’s killing Wednesday is the direct result of violent homophobia, inexplicitly “Lively suggested Kato may have been killed by someone with whom he had been romantically involved, despite the fact that no one familiar with the case has suggested Kato was killed by a gay person, let alone someone with whom he had had a sexual relationship. There remains a ‘possibility’ Kato was ‘killed by a 'gay' lover,’ Lively wrote, and likened Kato's death to that of Carlos Castro, a Portuguese journalist who was allegedly beaten to death and castrated by a male model in New York City earlier this month. The link between Kato and Castro — besides the fact that they were both openly gay men who had been brutally murdered — is unclear. But Lively has linked homosexuality to violence in the past. In his book Pink Swastika, Lively blames Nazi violence on homosexuality.”
