If I was at Rolling Stone, I would be pissed

Heard about this on the Beeb this AM and I am OUTRAGED. Some horrible upstart "newspaper" in Uganda printed the names of 100 people under the headline "Hang them" because they are gay. The BBC interviewed a Ugandan LGBT activist (and probably one of the bravest men on earth) who said that people on the list are already being attacked. Glad to see the real Rolling Stone condemn the paper so strongly describing it as "one of the most vile and hateful anti-gay screeds we have ever read". The Ugandan government has shut the paper down based on a technicality, but still the damage is done.
