Ugandan newspaper outs gays, putting their lives at risk
Click on this link to see a CNN video about a conservative Ugandan newspaper (ironically, named "Rolling Stone") that published a list of the names, photos, and home addresses of 100 leading gays and lesbians. The publication has already led to several people being attacked and some going into hiding. Homosexuality is disapproved of, at least publicly, by many in Uganda and the newspaper has stoked the flames. Do you believe they should have published this material? Is this a simple case of acting out freedom of the press? Or are there some moral standards that even a free press should abide by?
