Liberty Counsel filed a brief opposing the latest efforts by Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) in its lawsuit against Pastor Scott Lively, in which SMUG seeks to silence and impose significant financial penalties against Lively for his speaking and writing about his biblical views on homosexuality. Liberty Counsel’s filing is in response to a brief filed by SMUG as a last ditch effort to save SMUG’s case from dismissal after it utterly failed to present evidence supporting its claims at a summary judgment hearing last month.

SMUG has failed for four years to produce a shred of evidence to fit its sensational claim that Lively committed “crimes against humanity”–akin to genocide and war crimes—by “conspiring” to “persecute” the LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex) population in Uganda. SMUG has unwittingly revealed its secret and corrupt goal to intimidate Lively into silence, along with any American pastor with a heart for African families. Liberty Counsel’s response lays bare for the court SMUG’s deception.
