"The proclamation bars entry of immigrant and non-immigrant aliens who organize or participate in war crimes or serious violations of human rights — which could include those seeking to pass legislation in Uganda that would institute the death penalty for homosexual acts.
"'The United States’ enduring commitment to respect for human rights and humanitarian law requires that its Government be able to ensure that the United States does not become a safe haven for serious violators of human rights and humanitarian law and those who engage in other related abuses,' Obama states."
The benefits of this proclamation are twofold: Not only are we protecting our citizenry from assholism from overseas, we pressure foreign legislators (like those jerks trying to execute gays in Uganda) to lighten up on their LGBT citizens.
