Liberty Counsel filed its second 150-page brief in support of dismissing a lawsuit filed by Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) against American Pastor Scott Lively, responding to the 1,000+ pages submitted by SMUG to keep its vindictive and baseless lawsuit alive. SMUG filed the suit in retaliation against Lively for speaking about homosexuality and God’s design for the family in Uganda.

SMUG claims Lively committed an international “crime against humanity” when he shared his biblical views on homosexuality during three visits to Uganda in 2002 and 2009, even declaring Lively’s “crimes” to be “one step from genocide.” SMUG deems every pro-family advocate in Uganda to be a “co-conspirator” in a “criminal enterprise” to “persecute” the LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex) population of Uganda.  In addition to seeking bankrupting financial penalties from Lively, SMUG is asking the federal court to prohibit Lively from, among other things, preaching at Ugandan churches and lobbying or advocating against same-sex marriage in Uganda.
