Rachel Maddow has done a great job covering this story. Now the ObamAdministration is making a few thoughts of its own:

On Friday, the White House issued a statement to the Advocate, condemning the Anti-Homosexuality Bill currently being considered by the Ugandan parliament:

The President strongly opposes efforts, such as the draft law pending in Uganda, that would criminalize homosexuality and move against the tide of history.

As the Advocate’s Kerry Eleveld notes, this statement is the strongest yet issued by the Obama administration.

That's the kind of update we can believe in.

Keep up the pressure and great reporting, Rachel. What would we do without you?
