Three villages in eastern Uganda were devastated by a March 1 landslide that killed at least 86 people and left hundreds missing.

It leads to such invidious situations as The Family’s accused support for Ugandan politician David Bahati, who is proposing a bill containing the death penalty for HIV-infected people who have sex with someone of the same gender. Although The Family has since distanced itself from this scandal, one of its members could very easily follow its logic to support this bill...
