Uganda Debates Death Penalty for Gays Televangelists in the US are broadcast in African countries. Pastor Rick Warren of The Purpose Driven Life is especially proud of his outreach. But that's drawn him into the controversy over a proposal to make what's called "aggravated homosexuality" punishable by death in Uganda.
