In Uganda, laws were passed this year that punish gay "repeat offenders" with life in prison.
In Kenya, one can be imprisoned for 14 years for having same-sex relations... The laws are not usually enforced, but there are eight pending court cases.

Thus it's not surprising that World Vision took a stand in favor of recognizing the status of its employees in same-sex marriages.
What a powerful statement for this well-known international aid organization to make.
World Vision was standing up for the oppressed and those in prison--exactly what Jesus would do.
But Jesus didn't have to worry about a budget of $1 billion to support or how to manage a staff that employs 40,000 people in 100 countries.

Once the donors, large and small, started dropping out, World Vision caved.
